General Atlantic offloads 8% stake in KFin Technologies for Rs 1400 Cr via block deal. Share prices rise amid strong institutional investor interest.

  • Offer floor price: Rs 919.56 per share
  • Discount to previous close: 3%

The transaction’s estimated value increased from Rs 1,200 crore to Rs 1,400 crore. This expansion was attributed to robust interest from institutional investors, confirming strong market demand.

Investec is managing this substantial share sale as the sole broker. The shares are being offered at a floor price of Rs 919.56 per share.
