The Rs 835-crore initial public offering (IPO) will open for subscription on August 30 and conclude on September 3. The price band has been fixed at Rs 370-389 per share.

With this, the total issue size will be Rs 835 crore at the upper and of the price band Rs 389.

Proceeds from the fresh issue, to the extent of Rs 146 crore will be used for payment of debt and the remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Earlier this month, the Kolkata-based company raised Rs 37 crore from Volrado Ventures Partners Fund II in a pre-IPO placement round.

Accordingly, the fresh issue size was reduced. Bazaar Style Retail is one of the leading players in the value retail market in West Bengal and Odisha.

Additionally, its other core and focus markets include Assam, Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.

Investors can bid for a minimum of 38 shares in one lot, with additional shares in multiples of 38.

Axis Capital, Intensive Fiscal Services, and JM Financial are the book-running lead managers to the issue.
