DLF reviews IPO Plan
DLF group may file its Draft Red Herring Prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India by the end of October or early November, 2006; as it awaits the report from Ministry of Company Affairs on the issue of minority shareholders, company sources said.

After failing in its earlier attempt to tap the capital market with the largest ever public issue in Indian history, which could have made DLF promoter KP Singh India's richest man, the real estate major quotes the ‘minority shareholder issue was one of the major reason behind the collapse of the much-hyped IPO’. Its attempt to enter the capital market ran into rough weather after a group of minority shareholders complained of discrepancies in the share of convertible bonds by the company.

The IPO which was hyped as the country's biggest ever public issue with total proceeds from the sale of shares in the offer being hooked at as high as over Rs 15,000 crore in the market circles, had been withdrawn by the company as its DRHP with the market regulator SEBI late in August this year after failing to get the required clearance from the regulatory authorities.
