Glenmark Life Sciences is looking to raise ₹1,060 crore through the IPO. From the overall IPO proceeds, ₹800 crore will go to the promoter Glenmark Pharmaceuticals as payment for the spin-off. In 2019, the API manufacturing business of Glenmark was spun off into Glenmark Life Sciences as part of a broader reorganisation focusing on the API business.

Further, the company intends to use the proceeds from the IPO for capital expenditure requirements which includes the expansion of capacity at the Dahej (Gujarat) manufacturing site to meet the anticipated future demand of its generic active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) products.

Glenmark Life Sciences is a leading developer and manufacturer of select high value ingredients that go into drugs for treating chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular disease, central nervous system disease, pain management and diabetes, according to the company’s IPO prospectus filed with the regulator.
