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.
About 14 companies have gone public so far in 2025, according to stock exchange operator BSE, following a flurry of IPOs in 2024 when Indian firms raised a record 1.6 trillion rupees.
Dorf-Ketal was founded in 1992 and its customers include Reliance Industries RELI.NS, Petronas, Indian Oil Corporation IOC.NS and Vedanta VDAN.NS.

Dorf-Ketal competes with companies such as Baker Hughes BKR.O, Clariant CLN.S and Innospec IOSP.O in the global speciality chemicals market.
