Bidding for the IPO was available from April 26 to April 28. The initial share sale was entirely an offer for sale (OFS) by promoters and existing shareholders, which means the company did not receive any proceeds from the issue.

Campus Activewear shares were available for bidding in a price range of Rs 278-292 apiece in multiples of 51 under the IPO.

Campus Activewear, which introduced the brand Campus in 2005, offers a diverse product portfolio.
