**Mumbai, India –** Senores Pharmaceuticals Ltd.’s initial public offering (IPO) has been massively oversubscribed, reaching 13.9 times its total offering size by the end of the second day of subscription. The ₹582.1 crore (approximately $70 million USD) offering, comprising a fresh issue of ₹500 crore and an offer for sale of ₹82.1 crore, has seen particularly strong demand from retail investors.
The IPO, priced between ₹372 and ₹391 per share, has a projected listing price of ₹611 based on the grey market premium (GMP) of ₹220, representing a potential premium of 56.27%. It is crucial to note that the GMP is unofficial and based on speculation.
Proceeds from the IPO will be used to fund various initiatives, including:
* Capital expenditure for a new sterile injection manufacturing facility at its Atlanta subsidiary, Havix Group Inc. (Aavis Pharmaceuticals).
* Repayment of borrowings.
* Working capital requirements for Senores Pharmaceuticals and its subsidiaries, including Havix and Ratnatris Pharmaceutical Pvt.
* Inorganic growth through acquisitions and other strategic initiatives.
