Indian biscuit maker Anmol Industries files for $188 million IPO

Indian biscuit maker Anmol Industries files for $188 million IPO

- Indian biscuit maker Anmol Industries ANMO.NS has filed for an initial public offering worth up to 18 billion rupees ($187.87 million), draft papers showed on Friday.

  • The Baijnath Choudhary & Family Trust, Anmol's top investor with a roughly 84% stake, is the sole selling shareholder in the IPO. Anmol is not selling any new shares and will not receive proceeds.

  • Founded in 1994, Kolkata-based Anmol has a portfolio of biscuits, cookies and cakes offered through 70 brands and also exports to 31 countries.

  • Anmol's net profit jumped five-fold to 1.91 billion rupees in the year ended March 31, while revenue rose 28% to about 21 billion rupees.

  • It competes with listed rivals such as Britannia BRIT.NS, ITC ITC.NS and Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities MRSB.NS in the world's most populous country.

  • The IPO filing comes as primary market activity in India picks up pace after a muted first half of the year.

  • Anmol had attempted to go public in 2018 through a 7.5 billion rupee IPO and had received market regulator approval, but did not go through with the plan.

  • Intensive Fiscal Services, ICICI Securities and IIFL Capital Services are managing the offering.
