The company plans to raise Rs 550-600 crore from the share sale.

The raised funds from the IPO would be utilized to fund the growth plans of GGL, which was hived off as a 100 per cent subsidiary last year.

It should be noted that last year, Mumbai-based Glenmark Pharmaceuticals spun off its active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) business and the generic or off-patent formulations business into a subsidiary - Glenmark Generics.

The IPO is expected to hit the capital markets within three months.
