In a filing to the National Stock Exchange (NSE), Bharat Forge said the company had opened its $150 million qualified institutional placement issue at its meeting held yesterday.

The company did not, however, disclose the purpose for which it was seeking to raise the funds.

The funds were raised mainly for financing capital expenditure and global acquisitions and of the $120 million, FCCBs worth $17.75 million were converted in GDRs/equity shares during the tenure of FCCBs.

Bharat Forge, the flagship company of the Kalyani group is a leading global forged and machined engine and chassis components maker.
