Sebi said it might issue observations on draft offer document within 30 days from the date of receipt of Videocon D2H, satisfactory reply from the lead merchant bankers to the clarification or additional information sought from them.
The regulator had received the draft offer documents on September 30 through its lead manager Axis Capital. The company's proposed IPO estimates to raise Rs 700 crore. The company is also considering to mop-up Rs 50 crore through a pre-IPO placement of its shares to institutional investors.
While the company has not disclosed the total number of shares to be sold in IPO, the pre-IPO placement could be of 50 lakh shares. The company plans to use the funds for "acquisition of set-top boxes, outdoor units and accessories thereof, repayment/prepayment of certain indebtedness and general corporate purposes."

Earlier in December 2012, it had filed draft documents under the name 'Bharat Business Channel' with Sebi to raise Rs 700 crore through an IPO. However, the company did not launch the same due to bad market conditions.
