Kay Jay Forgings Ltd. on Wednesday filed its preliminary papers with the capital markets regulator SEBI to raise funds via an initial public offering. The public offer will include fresh issues of shares worth Rs 300 crore and offer for sale of up to Rs 600 crore.

Gopal Krishan Kothari, Amit Kothari, Madhu Kothari, Madhu Kothari and G K Kothari & Sons are the promoters offloading stake in the OFS.

The equity shares are proposed to be listed on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd and BSE Ltd.
