NEW DELHI: Real estate companies mopped up the most amount through initial public offers on stock exchanges during 2007, industry body Assocham said on Tuesday.
“Despite high interest rates, the real estate sector remained buoyant during 2007 primarily because of the strong underlying demand, aggressive marketing, entry of new players and upsurge in retail and multiplexes.
This is reflected by the highest share occupied by the sector in IPO market during the year,” chamber president Venugopal Dhoot said.
Property developers mobilised as much as 42.7% of the total funds through IPOs, Assocham said in a statement. Of the Rs 34,119 crore raised in the primary market from January 1, 2007 till mid-December, Rs 14,591 crore was raised by reality firms.
