New Delhi, March 9 Truhome Finance, backed by private equity major Warburg Pincus, filed preliminary papers with the market regulator Sebi on Monday to raise ₹3,000 crore through an initial public offering (IPO).

According to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), the housing finance company's IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth ₹1,500 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of equity shares worth ₹1,500 crore by promoter Mango Crest Investment Ltd.

The company plans to use the proceeds from the fresh issue to strengthen its capital base to meet future capital requirements, including onward lending and general corporate purposes, as well as to comply with the capital adequacy norms prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

The proceeds are expected to be deployed over the financial years ending March 31, 2027, and March 31, 2028, the draft papers noted.
