Crystal Crop Protection IPO will open for public subscription on November 18, 2026, giving investors an opportunity to participate in the public issue of the agrochemical and seeds company.
The company has fixed the price band at ₹259 to ₹272 per equity share for its ₹455.48 crore initial public offering.
The three-day IPO will remain open until November 20. The company plans to raise money through a fresh issue of shares worth ₹354.77 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹100.71 crore by promoter Ankur Aggarwal.
The IPO will be listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Investors interested in the issue should check the price band, minimum investment, subscription dates and allotment schedule before applying.
Crystal Crop Protection IPO Price Band and Lot Size
The company has fixed the IPO price band between ₹259 and ₹272 per share. The face value of each equity share is ₹10.
The minimum application lot consists of 55 shares. Investors must apply in multiples of 55 shares when bidding for the IPO.
At the upper end of the price band, retail investors will need ₹14,960 to apply for one lot. At the lower price of ₹259 per share, the investment for one lot will be ₹14,245.
The issue has been divided among three investor categories:
Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs): 50% of the net offer.
Retail Individual Investors: 35% of the net offer.
Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs): 15% of the net offer.
This allocation determines how the net public issue is distributed among different categories of investors.
Crystal Crop Protection IPO Important Dates
Investors should keep track of the following dates before applying for the public issue.
Anchor investor bidding will take place on November 17, 2026, one day before the public subscription begins.
The main IPO subscription period will run from November 18 to November 20. The basis of allotment is scheduled to be finalised on November 23.
Investors who do not receive shares can expect refunds to be initiated on November 25. Shares allotted to successful applicants are also scheduled to be credited to their demat accounts on the same date.
The company’s shares are expected to make their stock market debut on November 26, 2026, on the NSE and BSE.
How Will the Company Use IPO Money?
The public issue consists of two components: a fresh issue and an offer for sale.
The fresh issue is valued at ₹354.77 crore. The company plans to use the proceeds primarily to repay or prepay certain borrowings taken by the company and its material subsidiary, Saffire Crop Science Private Limited.
The remaining funds will support inorganic growth opportunities through potential acquisitions, strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes.
The OFS component is worth ₹100.71 crore and involves shares being sold by promoter Ankur Aggarwal.
Unlike fresh issue proceeds, money raised through an offer for sale goes to the selling shareholder rather than the company.
The IPO will therefore provide the company with an opportunity to raise fresh capital while also allowing the promoter to sell a portion of his existing shareholding.
