Macrotech Developers shares scale new all-time high after Rs 3,330-cr fundraise

Shares of Macrotech Developers surged around 4 percent in opening trade on March 11 and hit a fresh record high of Rs 1,277.90 after the company raised Rs 3,300 crore through qualified institutional placement (QIP).

At 10.06 am, shares of Macrotech Developers were trading off the day's high at Rs 1,195 on the NSE.

The news of the company raising funds through the QIP route had pushed the stock to record high in the previous session as well. However, profit booking soon crept in, pushing the stock to close in the red territory.

However, sentiment around the fund raise remained upbeat as prominent names like Rajiv Jain's GQG Partners, Invesco Developing Markets Fund and Stitching Depositary APG Emerging Markets Equity Pool participated in the QIP.
