Issue Details / Capital History

The company is coming out with its maiden book building route IPO of 5424000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each to mobilize Rs. 110.11 cr. at the upper cap. The company has announced a price band of Rs. 193 - Rs. 203 per share.  The minimum application to be made is for 1200 shares and in multiples of 600 shares thereon, thereafter. The IPO opens for subscription on June 17, 2026, and will close on June 19, 2026. The IPO constitute 26.37% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. The shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. From the net proceeds of the IPO, it will utilize Rs. 97.00 cr. for capex on setting up of additional manufacturing facility at Manda, Rajasthan, and the rest for general corporate purposes. 

The IPO is solely lead managed by Hem Securities Ltd., and KFin Technologies Ltd., is the registrar to the issue. HEM group’s Hem Finlease Pvt.  Ltd., is the market maker, as well as a syndicate member. 

After issuing entire equity capital at par value, the company issued bonus shares in the ratio of 2 for 1 in June 2025. The average cost of acquisition of shares by the promoters is Rs. 2.06, Rs. 2.54, Rs. 3.13, and Rs. 3.29 per share.

Post-IPO, company’s current paid-up equity capital of Rs. 15.15 cr. will stand enhanced to Rs. 20.57 cr. Based on the upper band of the IPO pricing, the company is looking for a market cap of Rs. 417.58 cr. 

Financial Performance

On the financial performance front, for the last three fiscals, the company has posted total revenue/ net profit, of Rs. 146.99 cr. / Rs. 13.50 cr. (FY24 – on standalone basis), and on consolidated basis, it marked Rs. 154.44 cr. / Rs. 20.76 cr. (FY25), Rs. 184.57 cr. / Rs. 27.01 cr. (FY26). The boosted profits from FY25 onwards (on a consolidated basis) raise eyebrows and concern over its sustainability as it is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment. 

For the last three fiscals, the company has reported an average EPS of Rs. 15.02, and an average RoNW of 15.04%. The issue is priced at a P/BV of 1.85 based on its NAV of Rs. 109.64 per share as of March 31, 2026, but its post-IPO NAV data is missing from the offer documents.

If we attribute FY26 super earnings to its post-IPO fully diluted paid-up equity capital, then the asking price is at a P/E of 15.46, and based on FY25 earnings, the P/E stands at 20.12. The issue appears aggressively priced, based on its recent bumper earnings, which may not be sustained. It is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment.

For the reported periods, the company has posted PAT margins of 9.28% (FY24), 13.66% (FY25), 15.02% (FY26), and RoCE margins of 14.42%, 16.69%, 18.26%, respectively, for referred periods.
