SH Kelkar & Company’s Rs 527-crore initial public offering (IPO) will hit the market on October 28. The Mumbai-based fragrance manufacturer has priced its IPO in the range between Rs 173 and Rs 180 a share.

The company is looking to raise Rs 210 crore by issuing fresh shares to help retire all its debt. The remaining amount will go to existing shareholders, including Blackstone, who are paring their holdings in the company.

Blackstone, which invested in the company in 2012, is looking at offloading nearly 10 per cent stake for Rs 290 crore.
