SFC Environmental Technologies launches a 668-crore rupee public issue with a price band of 313 to 330 rupees per share to help fund debt repayment and working capital.

Context

Companies use public offerings to raise funds directly from the public for business growth, debt clearing, or allowing early backers to cash out their investments. The Indian primary market has seen massive fundraising activity this year across diverse sectors like alternative investments, polymers, steel, wastewater treatment, and retail.
