The IPO combines a fresh issue of 42,91,200 shares and an offer for sale of 9,96,000 shares, aiming to raise Rs 43.34 crore.
Proceeds will fund new manufacturing units in Rajasthan and Haryana, meet working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes. Share allotment is expected on 31 August, with listing on the NSE SME on 2 September.
