Marri Retail, an apparel and jewellery retailer, has filed preliminary papers with capital markets regulator Sebi to raise funds through its initial public offering.
The Hyderbad-based company’s proposed IPO is a combination of a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 522 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of 2.7 crore shares by promoter Marri Venkat Reddy, according to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) filed on Sunday.
Proceeds from the fresh issuance will be used for payment of debt, opening of 10 new apparel stores, one new apparel store with a jewellery Store-in-Store (SIS) (Integrated Retail Store), and two new standalone jewellery stores, expenses towards lease and sub-lease rent payments for existing stores and warehouses and general corporate purposes.
The company may consider a pre-IPO placement for up to Rs 104.4 crore. If such initiative is completed, the fresh issue size will be reduced.

The firm operates its stores under multiple brands, including The Chennai Shopping Mall, JC Mall, J.C.
