Ami Organics on Tuesday collected Rs 171 crore from anchor investors.

At the upper end of the price band, the three-day initial share sale is expected to fetch Rs 569.63 crore.

Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used towards repayment of certain debt and funding working capital requirements.

Ami Organics is one of the leading R&D driven manufacturers of specialty chemicals with varied end usage, focussed towards the development and manufacturing of pharma intermediates for regulated and generic APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) and NCE (new chemical entity) and key starting material for agrochemicals and fine chemicals.

The equity shares of the company will be listed on BSE and NSE.

This is the company's second attempt to go public.

Earlier, Ami Organics had filed preliminary papers with Sebi in 2018 and had received the regulator's nod to launch the public issue. However, it did not float the IPO.

Intensive Fiscal Services, Ambit Private Limited and Axis Capital are the managers to the offer.
