Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar (Exports) Ltd., a basmati rice exporter based in Haryana, has announced the price band for its upcoming ₹440 crore initial public offering. The issue will open for public subscription on March 24, 2026, and close on March 27, 2026.
The company confirmed that the anchor book will open for a single day on March 23, 2026. This IPO marks a key capital‑raising move for the company as it aims to strengthen its working capital base and support general corporate activities.
The company has set the price band between ₹201 and ₹212 per share. This range positions the offer within a valuation window that aligns with the company’s current financial metrics and market positioning.
The subscription period spans four days, with the anchor book opening one day prior. The structure allows institutional and retail investors sufficient time to evaluate the offer.
The ₹440 crore IPO consists entirely of a fresh issue of equity shares, with no offer-for-sale component, ensuring that all proceeds are directed to the company. The issue size represents a reduction from the earlier proposed ₹550 crore outlined in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus filed in June 2025.
This revision reflects a recalibrated fundraising approach following SEBI’s approval in October 2025. Additionally, the company had raised ₹13 crore through pre-IPO funding prior to the issue.
The company has allocated 50% of the offer to qualified institutional bidders, 15% to non‑institutional investors and 35% to retail participants. Retail investors can submit bids starting with a lot size of 70 shares.
A single lot requires a minimum investment of ₹14,840 at the lower end of the price band. Bids may be made in multiples of 70 shares thereafter, enabling retail investors to scale participation based on preference.
At the upper end of the price band, the company’s post‑issue market capitalisation is estimated at ₹2,195.29 crore. The pre‑IPO round had already brought in ₹13 crore through an allotment of 7.55 lakh shares at ₹172 per share, valuing the company at ₹1,877 crore at that time.
The net proceeds of the fresh issue will primarily support working capital requirements and general corporate purposes. Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar (Exports) operates as a processor and exporter of basmati rice, with products marketed under its flagship ”Aeroplane” brand.

The announcement of the ₹201–₹212 price band places the ₹440 crore IPO on a clear timeline leading into the subscription period beginning March 24, 2026. The fresh issue structure ensures that all capital raised will contribute directly to the company’s operational needs.
With defined allotment categories and an accessible lot size for retail investors, the offer is positioned for broad market participation. The company’s established presence in the basmati rice export sector provides context for its fund‑raising objectives.
