The Gujarat-based company, which specializes in manufacturing packaging machinery, launched its IPO with a price band of ₹230-243, aiming to raise ₹179.38 crore through an offer-for-sale of 73.82 lakh equity shares by the promoters and other selling shareholders.

Mamata Machinery successfully raised over ₹53 crore from anchor investors ahead of the IPO, with seven funds participating in the anchor allotment. The proceeds from the IPO will go entirely to the selling shareholders, as it is a pure offer-for-sale and the company will not receive any funds.
