HPL, led by chairman and managing director (CMD) Lalit Sheth, will dilute 25% of the promoter stake to around 75% after the IPO, making it compliant with Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (Sebi) minimum public shareholding norms.

L&amp;T Technologies Services Ltd closed its issue on Thursday. Parent company Larsen &amp; Toubro had aimed to raise Rs.890 crore by selling 10.2% stake in the company.
