Swara Baby Products, a contract manufacturer of disposable hygiene goods and a subsidiary of FirstCry parent Brainbees Solutions, has secured approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its proposed ₹1,000 Cr initial public offering. The regulator issued its final observation following the company's Draft Red Herring Prospectus filing submitted in July.
IPO Structure and Offloading Details
The upcoming public issue will consist of a fresh issue of equity shares raising up to ₹500 Cr and an offer for sale (OFS) component of up to ₹500 Cr. Brainbees Solutions, which currently retains a 76.6% stake in the subsidiary, plans to sell shares worth up to ₹300 Cr via the OFS. Promoter shareholder Anadya Bon Merchari LLP will offload shares valued up to ₹200 Cr. The business is also considering a pre-IPO placement of up to ₹100 Cr.
Capital Distribution and Expansion Plans
Swara Baby Products plans to deploy the proceeds from the fresh issue to expand its production capacity and lower existing debt obligations. Approximately ₹198.2 Cr is earmarked to establish a new production unit in Madhya Pradesh, while ₹100 Cr will go toward repaying or prepaying debt. An additional ₹27.5 Cr will be allocated to subsidiaries Solis Hygiene, Swara Hygiene, and K.A. Enterprises Hygiene Pvt Ltd for debt settlement. Remaining proceeds will back potential acquisitions and general business needs.
