Seafood processing and export firm Essex Marine has launched its Rs 23.01 crore initial public offering (IPO) today, August 4, with the issue set to close on August 6.
The IPO, priced at Rs 54 per share, is entirely a fresh issue of 42.62 lakh equity shares and will be listed on the BSE SME platform. The grey market premium (GMP) for the issue stood at around 6% on the morning of the opening day.
Retail investors can apply in lots of 4,000 shares, requiring a minimum investment of Rs 2.16 lakh. The registrar for the issue is Skyline Financial Services Private Ltd and Khandwala Securities is the lead manager.
The IPO has earmarked 50% of the net issue for retail investors and the remaining 50% for NIIs. The proceeds from the issue will be used for expanding the company’s seafood peeling capacity, setting up a ready-to-cook section, meeting working capital needs, repaying debts, and general corporate purposes.
Founded in 2009, Essex Marine operates from a modern seafood processing unit in Shankarpur, West Bengal — a key hub for Vannamei shrimp and other marine catch.
The company sources, processes, stores and exports marine products such as ribbon fish, squid, mackerel, eel fish, and Vannamei shrimp to markets in China, Belgium and Japan. Its facility complies with global standards like HACCP, FSSAI and BRC.
Backed by promoters Debashish Sen and Kajari Sen, the company reported a net profit of Rs 4.1 crore on revenue of Rs 29.86 crore for the nine months ended December 2024.
Tentative allotment is scheduled for August 7, with listing expected on August 11.
