Sanjay Jain, Group CEO of PDS Limited, added, "We are delighted with the strong response to our QIP, which not only strengthens our balance sheet but also fuels our growth opportunities. Furthermore, this fundraise helps institutionalize our capital structure with the participation of leading marquee long-term investors."
