NEW DELHI: DLF, India’s largest real estate company, is looking to raise Rs 10,000 crore in the next 2-3 years through sale of its treasury investments, land parcels and real estate projects, said its vice-chairman Rajiv Singh.

Mr Singh’s family, promoters of the cash-strapped DLF, had sold a 9.9% stake in the company on Wednesday for Rs 3,860 crore in open market transactions.

ET NOW had first reported on Wednesday that DLF promoters were selling stake. Capital Group picked up close to 5% in DLF, while HSBC, GIC and Fidelity bought smaller stakes. The transactions were done at Rs 230 per share. DLF shares closed marginally lower at Rs 234 on NSE on Wednesday.

On the timing of the stake sale, Mr Singh said: “If it was the best or the worst, one would know only in hindsight, but it was surely the right solution in the current circumstances.” DLF had mopped up Rs 9,000 crore in an IPO less than two years ago. The company’s scrip had peaked in January 2008, crossing Rs 1,200, but declined to a low of Rs 124 earlier this year.
