BENGALURU, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Dorf-Ketal Chemicals India filed for a 50 billion rupees ($580 million) initial public offering on Friday, according to draft papers by the speciality chemicals maker.
The IPO consists of fresh issue of shares worth up to 15 billion rupees, while existing shareholder Menon Family Holdings Trust is selling shares worth up to 35 billion rupees.
Dorf-Ketal Chemicals, which has 16 manufacturing facilities across four countries including the U.S. and Brazil, is the latest among a slew of companies looking to make their stock market debut in India.
