Godavari Biorefineries has announced a price band of Rs 334-352 per share for its Rs 555-crore initial public offering (IPO), set to open for subscription on October 23.
The IPO will close on October 25, with anchor bidding beginning on October 22. The allotment will be finalised on October 28, and refunds and share credits will take place on October 29, followed by the stock listing on October 30.
The IPO includes a fresh issue worth Rs 325 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of up to 6.53 million shares by existing shareholders and promoters. Private equity firm Mandala Capital AG will exit the company, selling its entire stake of 49,26,983 shares in the OFS.
Mandala’s average cost of acquisition is Rs 188.91 per share, making it the largest seller in the OFS, alongside promoters Somaiya Agencies, Samir Shantilal Somaiya, Lakshmiwadi Mines and Minerals, Filmedia Communication Systems, and Somaiya Properties.
Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used to repay Rs 240 crore of debt, with the remainder allocated for general corporate purposes. As of June 2024, Godavari Biorefineries had consolidated debt of Rs 748.9 crore.
The company is one of India’s largest ethanol producers by volume, with a bio-refinery capacity of 570 KLPD for ethanol production. Its diverse portfolio includes bio-based chemicals, sugar, ethanol, and power, catering to industries such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and fuel. In line with government initiatives to boost ethanol blending, Godavari plans to expand its distillery capacity from 600 KLPD to 1,000 KLPD.
Godavari Biorefineries supplies products to leading companies including Hershey India, Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages, and LANXESS India, among others.
Financially, the company has faced challenges. Its profit fell to Rs 12.3 crore for the year ended March 2024, down from Rs 19.6 crore the previous year, while revenue dropped to Rs 1,686.7 crore from Rs 2,014.7 crore. For the June 2024 quarter, the company posted a loss of Rs 26.1 crore on revenue of Rs 522.5 crore.
The IPO is being managed by Equirus Capital and SBI Capital Markets, with Link Intime India serving as the registrar.
