Ganesh Consumer Products, a leading FMCG player, has recently filed a draft prospectus with SEBI for its upcoming initial public offer (IPO). The Kolkata-based company is planning to raise funds through a combination of fresh issue of shares and offer-for-sale by existing shareholders.
The proposed IPO will consist of a fresh issue of shares worth up to ₹130 crore, along with an offer-for-sale of up to 12.44 million equity shares by promoters and investor selling shareholders. Additionally, the company may also consider a pre-IPO placement of equity shares worth up to ₹26 crore.
The funds raised from the fresh issue will be utilized for purposes such as prepayment of borrowings, funding capital expenditure for a new manufacturing unit, and general corporate uses. Ganesh Consumer Products has a strong presence in the East India market for packaged wheat flour, gram-based flour products, spices, and ethnic snacks.
With seven manufacturing facilities across multiple states, the company has shown impressive revenue growth over the years. The draft prospectus reveals that Ganesh Consumer Products witnessed a compounded annual growth rate of 29.16% in revenue from operations from FY22 to FY24.
The IPO will be conducted through the book-building process, with allocation to different categories of investors as per regulatory guidelines.
