IDFC, which was planning to mop up Rs 3,400 crore in the current financial year by floating tax-free infrastructure bonds in four tranches, collected only Rs 350-400 crore till Monday.
Rajiv Lall, managing director of IDFC, refused to confirm the amount raised by the company. "The company was aiming to gather around Rs 700 crore in the first of the four tranches of tax-free infra bonds. However, the gut feeling is we won't get there this time," he told Financial Chronicle. According to him, the real response will be known only by October 22, when the offer closes.
