Chemplast Sanmar Ltd. launched its Rs 3,850-crore initial public offering on Aug. 10, as it returns to the exchanges after a nine-year gap.

The South India-based specialty chemical maker is selling shares at Rs 530-541 apiece in the three-day IPO. It comprises a fresh issue of Rs 1,300 crore and an offer-for-sale worth Rs 2,550 crore by the promoter, the Sanmar Group.

The company is seeking a market valuation of Rs 7,754 crore at the upper end of its price band. The IPO will close on Aug. 12.

It had voluntarily delisted in May 2012 when it acquired shares of face value value of Re 1 each from investors at Rs 15 apiece.

Chemplast plans to use proceeds from the fresh issue to redeem non-convertible debentures of up to Rs 1,238.3 crore within 90 days of its close. It had issued NCDs aggregating to Rs 1,270 crore of seven-year tenure and interest rate of 17.5% per annum.
