Earlier, realty major Macrotech Developers Ltd, erstwhile Lodha Developers, on Tuesday raised Rs 740 crore from anchor investors.

Axis Capital, J P Morgan India Private Limited, Kotak Mahindra Capital Company Limited and Edelweiss Financial Services are the global co-ordinators and book running lead managers to the offer.

This is the third attempt by Lodha Developers to launch a public issue and list its shares on the stock exchanges. In 2009 and 2018, the company had filed IPO documents and also got Sebi approval but did not hit the capital market as market conditions were not conducive.
