The company, which is backed by Hong Kong-based pan-Asian private equity firm Olympus Capital Holdings Asia and venture firm Bessemer Venture Partners, seeks to raise INR9 billion (€152.4 million; $202.2 million) through the issue of new shares.
The two private equity firms will not divest stakes, though their shareholding will be diluted through the issue of fresh equity shares.

In addition, Bessemer Venture Partners directly owns a 0.14 percent stake in Orient while Olympus directly owns a stake of 0.09 percent.
Shriram EPC, the third joint venture partner in the Singapore-based holding company, is itself backed by private equity firms, one of which is Bessemer Venture Partners with a 23.87 percent stake.
Shriram and EPC founded Orient Green in 2006 with the objective owning and operating a portfolio of renewable energy projects. In November 2008, Olympus led a $55 million investment in Orient, investing $35 million, while Bessemer and Shriram EPC invested $10 million each.
