It has mainly 2 fully owned non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) – L&T Infrastructure Finance ( which contributes 33 % of its revenues) and L&T Finance (which contributes 66 % of its revenues). Apart, from these L&TFH owns close to a 5 % stake in Federal Bank and City Union Bank. It also owns L&T Mutual Fund which has an asset base of Rs. 5,200 Cr as of June 2011. The company has a presence in 23 states, with 837 points-of-presence across India . The company’s operations are primarily into 4 business groups namely the Infrastructure Finance Group, the Retail Finance Group, the Corporate Finance Group and the Investment Management Group. Company intends to use the IPO proceeds for the repayment of intercorporate deposit issued by the parent company L&T about Rs. 345 Crs; infusion of capital in L&T Finance for about Rs. 515 Cr and L&T Infrastructure Finance Company for about Rs. 485 Cr. There is a reservation for employees for Rs. 50 Cr and an additional reservation of Rs. 120 Cr for L&T shareholders, both of would get an Rs. 2.00 discount to the issue price. Out of the total of Rs. 537.5 Cr has been reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), Rs. 161.25 Cr for non-institutional investors (HNIs) and Rs 376.25 Cr for retail investors. The company had done a pre – IPO placement at Rs. 55/sh and anchor book to have a subscription of Rs. 56/sh, a nearly Rs. 153 cr are committed by anchor investor.
The company got the Infrastructure Financing Status in July 2010 it will benefit to raise more funds, of longer tenors and at lower costs, and in turn to lend more to infrastructure companies. The company's current net worth is around Rs 2,900 crore & post issue net worth including a 30% growth for FY12 would come be around Rs 4,700 crore. The company could be a contender for the banking license with RBI in the process of finalizing guidelines for issue of new banking license; it is believed that L&T group through L&TFH could bid for receiving license. RBI is believed to give banking license to those corporate houses which have market capitalization of more than Rs. 10,000 Cr. L&T comes winner as its promoter stake is less than 25 % and is driven by strong professional management.
