Infra.market sells 10% stake in RDC Concrete
Infra.Market said it has divested about 10% of its stake in RDC Concrete to investors led by Ashish Kacholia, valuing the ready-mix concrete firm at about $225 million.
Infra.Market had acquired RDC Concrete for $90 million in mid-2021 when it had 49 RMC plants, which has currently grown to 100 plants across 48 cities. RDC Concrete expects to have around 180 RMC plants by the end of FY25.
The company has raised about $20 million from public market investors led by Kacholia.
This divestment in RDC Concrete further paves the way for RDC’s IPO plans soon, the firm said.
