Ami Organics' QIP committee is due to meet again on June 21 to consider and approve the final issue price. "The company may at its discretion offer a discount of not more than 5 percent on the floor price for the issue," it said in the filing. The issue price will be determined by the company in consultation with the book running lead manager, it added.

"We believe commercialisation of CDMO contracts, ramp up in production of electrolyte additives, and improved utilisation will contribute to future profitable growth. We expect H1FY25E will have modest growth and H2FY25E will have higher growth as future projects are expected to get commercialised at that time," the brokerage firm added.

Surat-based Ami Organics is one of the largest research driven manufacturers of pharmaceuticals intermediates, excipients, specialty and fine chemicals.
