MARS, a joint venture between private credit firm Liquidity and MUFG Bank, has invested about $150 million in the IPO-bound company with this transaction, Infra.Market said in a statement on Monday.

The first tranche of $100 million, which had a three-year tenure starting in 2022, was predominantly used to make paints and tiles. The additional proceeds will be used to manufacture concrete and autoclaved aerated concrete blocks.

Northcote Luxe FinBrokers was the exclusive adviser to Infra.Market for the transaction. This is the company's second fundraising effort this year after it secured about $125 million at a $2.7 billion valuation from investors including Tiger Global, Evolvence, and Foundamental in January.
