  "account": "Nobel Hygiene, backed by Quadria Capital, has filed its draft prospectus for an IPO seeking Rs 150 crore in fresh capital. The funds will be used to expand production at its Halol facility and repay debt. The IPO includes a fresh issue of up to Rs 150 crore and an OFS of up to 1.55 crore shares. The company may also consider a pre-IPO placement of up to Rs 30 crore, reducing the fresh issue size accordingly. Due to not meeting SEBI ICDR Regulation 6(1)(b), Nobel Hygiene is listing under Regulation 6(2), requiring at least 75% of the net offer to be allocated to qualified institutional buyers, with no more than 25% going to non-institutional investors and retail individual investors. Founded in 2001, Nobel Hygiene revolutionized the Indian adult diaper market with its Friends brand and has since expanded into baby and feminine hygiene. Despite facing intense competition from global giants, the company has seen a turnaround, posting a net profit of Rs 18.91 crore in the financial year 2026 after a loss of Rs 39.01 crore in the previous year. This improvement is attributed to increased revenue, operational margins, and reduced debt. Nobel Hygiene has benefited from state support, including Production Linked Incentive incentives and subsidies for sanitary napkins. With India's diaper market having significant room for growth, the company aims to expand its market share through educational campaigns and premium offerings.",
