INDIA – Vadodara-based Kronox Lab Sciences, a producer of high-purity specialty fine chemicals, has filed for an Initial Public Offering (IPO) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise Rs 150 crore. The proposed public offering is structured to include Rs 45 crore in fresh equity and an Offer for Sale (OFS) by promoters of 78 lakh shares.

The company’s global market presence spans over 20 countries, including key markets like Australia, Egypt, the USA, and the UK, indicating a robust international footprint. The IPO is managed by Pantomath Capital Advisors, with KFin Technologies appointed as the registrar. Promoters Jogindersingh Jaswal and Ketan Ramani each hold a 34.99% stake, while Pritesh Ramani owns 30%, reflecting strong insider confidence as Kronox Lab Sciences prepares for its equity shares’ proposed listing on both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
