Pure Offer for Sale (OFS)
The IPO will be a pure offer for sale of 2.28 crore equity shares, amounting to ₹1,667.54 crore.
There will be no fresh issue of shares, meaning the company will not raise new funds. Instead, the proceeds will go entirely to the selling shareholders — Orkla ASA, Orkla Asia Holdings AS, and Orkla Asia Pacific Pte Ltd.
Promoter Entities to Offload Stake
The promoters are partially divesting their holdings through this offering. Post listing, the ownership structure of Orkla India will be realigned, though the parent entity will continue to maintain control.
