Iware Supplychain shares to list today. GMP suggests muted listing ahead
Iware Supplychain
Services will make its stock market debut today on the
BSE SME platform
. Ahead of its listing, the company was commanding a modest
grey market premium
(GMP) of Rs 2 per share, indicating muted but positive listing expectations. The IPO, which aimed to raise Rs 27 crore through a fresh issue of 28.56 lakh shares, was subscribed just 3 times.
The tepid interest in the IPO was in line with modest responses most of the SME issues received this year.
Company overview
Incorporated in 2011, Ahmedabad-headquartered Iware Supplychain is an integrated logistics player offering warehousing, third-party logistics (3PL), transportation, rake handling, and auxiliary manufacturing services. It manages over 8 lakh square feet of warehousing space across Gujarat, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.
The company also owns a fleet of 47 vehicles and operates business auxiliary services such as sub-assembly for OEMs at its Karsanpura facility in Gujarat. With a client list spanning FMCG, edible oil, and home appliances, Iware positions itself as a one-stop supply chain partner for pan-India operations.
Financials
For the year ended March 2025, Iware posted revenues of Rs 85.82 crore and a profit after tax of Rs 6.02 crore, reflecting a steady growth trajectory. The company reported a PAT margin of 7%, with a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.38x. However, nearly 36% of its operational revenue was spent on lorry hire charges, highlighting a cost-intensive business model.
Its geographic concentration -- with over 67% of revenues coming from Gujarat -- could pose risks in the event of regional slowdowns. Moreover, with 41% of total expenses tied to lorry hire, any spike in fuel or freight costs may hurt margins.
While the warehousing and logistics sector continues to attract investor interest due to policy support and sectoral tailwinds, Iware's reliance on regional contracts, rising operational costs, and modest subscription figures suggest the stock may see a flat to modest premium on debut.

Incessant rainfall cripples Mangaluru and surrounding area, coastal Karnataka on red alert
Life in Karnataka's Mangaluru came to a grinding halt on Saturday as torrential rains lashed coastal Karnataka, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a red alert for Dakshina Kannada and surrounding districts. The intense downpour, which began on Saturday afternoon, led to widespread waterlogging, severe traffic snarls, and flooding of low-lying areas. Also Read - Mangaluru survivors recount 2010 plane crash tragedy amid recent Air India mishap Several key roads in Mangaluru were submerged, including stretches beneath the busy Pumpwell flyover, where traffic was thrown out of gear. In one incident, a public transport bus stalled mid-route due to flooding. Passengers and local residents were seen wading through knee-deep water to help push the vehicle to safety. Areas such as Car Street, Lower Bendur, Padil, Kottara, and other flood-prone localities bore the brunt of the downpour. The Padil railway underpass was rendered unusable after rainwater accumulated, cutting off traffic flow. Car Street and nearby residential colonies also reported water entering homes, raising concerns about urban drainage preparedness. While IMD had been forecasting heavy rains throughout the week with limited rainfall observed until Friday, Saturday's sudden and intense spell has caught many off guard. The department has warned that the red alert will remain in place until the morning of June 16, as weather models continue to indicate the likelihood of more intense showers and thunderstorms across the coastal belt.
