Infra.Market raises $125 Mn led by Tiger Global Building materials platform Infra.Market is raising Rs 1,049 crore (around $125 million) in its Series F funding round. This follows the completion of the final tranche of its Series E round in September 2024. The board at Infra.Market has passed a special resolution to issue 49,149 compulsory convertible preference shares at an issue price of Rs 2,13,439 each to raise Rs 1,049 crore or $125 million, its regulatory filing sourced from the Registrar of Companies shows. The Rs 1,049 crore Series F funding round appears to be a pre-IPO initiative, structured in two tranches: Rs 498 crore (Series F) and Rs 551 crore (Series F1), respectively. According to the filings, the first tranche of Rs 498 crore ($60 million) is led by Tiger Global, contributing Rs 211 crore, with additional participation from Evolvence Group and Fundamental Fund, which invested Rs 168 crore and Rs 119 crore, respectively. This marks a significant investment from existing investor Tiger Global, especially given its relatively low activity in recent times. For context, Tiger Global made only two investments in 2024—Wiz Freight and Jupiter’s NBFC arm—both as an existing investor. The second tranche of Rs 551 crore is yet to be completed. Capri Global, Eudora Ventures, Kangaro Industries, SVV Limited, Premratan Exports, and Verity Knowledge, along with individual investors Ashish Kacholia, Nikhil Kamath, Abhijit Pai, Sumeet Kanwar, Nuvama, Dimpy Kanwar, and Sapna Vig, are expected to participate. Tiger Global, Evolvence, and Fundamental Fund may also contribute to this tranche. According to Entrackr’s estimates, the company has been valued at around Rs 24,000 crore or $2.8 billion post-allotment. Infra.Market, through its platform, offers a range of building material products, including Structural Products (Concrete, Steel, Construction Chemicals), Finishing Products (AAC blocks, MDF, Plywood, Pipes and Fittings), and Lifestyle Products (Tiles, Sanitaryware, Laminates, Paints, Fans, Lights, Appliances, Modular Kitchens, Consumer Durables). Infra.Market generates revenue from the sale of the aforementioned products. Its consolidated gross revenue rose to Rs 14,530 crore in FY24 from Rs 11,847 crore in FY23. The firm also reported a 2.4X jump in its profit to Rs 378 crore in the last fiscal year.
