In March this year, Motisons filed preliminary IPO papers with market regulator Sebi. The issue is entirely a fresh issue of equity shares up to 3.34 crore with no offer-for-sale (OFS) component.

Going by the draft papers, proceeds from the issue will be utilised to the extent of Rs 58 crore for debt payment, Rs 71 crore for funding the working capital requirement of the company and a portion will also be used for general corporate purposes. Currently, it has a 4-showroom network under the "Motisons" brand, located across Jaipur.
