The QIP said it got an overwhelming response from investors, including Tata Mutual Fund, Ananta Capital, and ITI Mutual Fund.
The funds raised through QIP will be used to accelerate JWL's growth and continue its journey as one of the fastest-growing companies in the mobility solution space with enhanced manufacturing capabilities. JWL aims to use the fund for the acquisition of Stone India, working capital optimization, and other corporate purposes.
Vivek Lohia, the managing director of JWL, said that the company aims to enhance the efficiency of its working capital, accelerate growth through planned acquisitions, and pursue other business objectives using the funds raised. "The company has made its mark in railways through its diverse product portfolio and our entry into the commercial electric vehicle (CEV) business has further strengthened our position as an emerging leader in mobility solutions. We see huge potential in this segment and are hopeful that this will contribute significantly to the overall growth of the group. Working in tandem with the government's agenda on infrastructure development in railways and road, we are optimistic about being the preferred partner in achieving the goal," he added.
