PN Gadgil Jewellers, which submitted a draft prospectus in March this year, plans to issue new shares worth ₹850 crore and conduct an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹250 crore. In the OFS, promoter SVG Business Trust will sell a portion of its equity.

The funds raised from the IPO will be used to finance the establishment of 12 new stores in Maharashtra, repay debt, and cover other general corporate expenses.

As of January 2024, PN Gadgil Jewellers ranks as the second-largest organized jewellery retailer in Maharashtra by the number of stores. It is also the fastest-growing jewellery brand among major organized players in India, based on revenue growth from FY21 to FY23.

KRN Heat Exchanger’s initial share sale consists entirely of a fresh issue of 1.6 crore equity shares with no offer-for-sale (OFS) component. The IPO funds will be invested in its wholly-owned subsidiary, KRN HVAC Products, to establish a new manufacturing facility in Neemrana, Alwar, Rajasthan. KRN Heat specializes in manufacturing fin and tube-type heat exchangers for the HVAC and refrigeration industry.
