DLF, India’s largest real estate firm, by April 2013, will raise over Rs.2100 Cr via selling its shares to qualified institutional buyers. The real estate major will sell around 8.1 Cr shares of the firm to raise the fund.

An official said that they have already started discussions with the bankers. He added that the firm is likely to appoint around three or four merchant bankers soon for the purpose.

2/5 is Navin Fluorine International’s rating

Navin Fluorine International has been awarded two stars out of five by CRISIL Equities, the Credit rating agency.
The rating implies that the company`s fundamentals are moderate relative to other listed equity securities in India.
This rating has been given to Navin due to its long-standing presence as one of the four main fluorine players in India. Our grade is moderated by the stagnation in Navin`s main lines of business refrigerants and bulk fluorides. The production of Navin`s flagship refrigerant HCFC 22 is being phased out under the Montreal Protocol due to its ozone-depleting nature. Also, at the same point of time, sales of low-margin products, i.e. bulk fluorides, are facing tough competition from China.
 CRISIL’s criteria for rating Navin 2/5 are the following:
1. Significant non-operating assets in the form of cash.

2. Balances with group companies.

3. Real estate
 4. Investments in group companies through equity, and preference shares.
