Allied Engineering Works files IPO papers, to raise ₹400 cr via fresh issue
The proposed IPO is a combination of fresh issuance of shares worth ₹400 crore, and an offer-for-sale of 75 lakh shares by promoter Ashutosh Goel, according to the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) filed on Saturday.
Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used for part financing the capital expenditure required to set up manufacturing facilities. This includes Rs 116.75 crore for the production of smart gas meters, smart water meters, and IoT (Internet of Things) solutions at the Kundli facility, and Rs 99.71 crore for the production of smart electricity meters at the Rai facility.
Additionally, ₹120 crore will be allocated towards meeting the company's future working capital requirements and a portion of the proceeds will also be used for general corporate purposes.
Also, the city-based company considers raising up to ₹80 crore in a pre-IPO round. If such fund-raising is undertaken, then fresh issue size will be reduced.
Allied Engineering Works is a technology-driven solutions provider, focused on meeting the evolving needs of utilities in implementing smart metering infrastructure across India and enhancing the efficiency of utility distribution systems.
As of March 31, 2025, the company has supplied 2.92 million smart energy meters to one utility and 13 Advanced Metering Infrastructure Service Providers (AMISPs) for installation across six states, including Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, representing about 10 per cent of the total smart energy meters installed in India, according to a Crisil report.
Allied Engineering Works' competes with companies include Genus Power Infrastructures, HPL Electric and Power, Secure Meters, Avon Meters and Capital Power Systems.
Axis Capital and IIFL Capital Services have been roped in as merchant bankers to manage the IPO.

Interchange linking Yamuna eway, EPE to be ready next year
Noida: With the Noida airport likely to begin operations later this year, NHAI said construction of the long-stalled cloverleaf interchange linking Yamuna Expressway and Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) will begin next month. Proposed in 2019 to improve regional connectivity, the cloverleaf interchange has been delayed over land acquisition, farmers' protests seeking higher compensation and costs. The interchange is expected to benefit commuters from Palwal, Kundali and Panipat, in addition to those coming from Meerut and Greater Noida. Currently, commuters travelling between Agra, Ghaziabad and west UP districts, like Hapur and Meerut, need to take a 15-20km detour via congested Pari Chowk and Kasna areas in Greater Noida from Yamuna Expressway to reach EPE and are frequently stuck in snarls.

Officials said the construction is to start by Aug and the interchange is to be ready within a year thereafter. The project has faced several hurdles since it was first proposed over seven years ago. Initially awarded in 2019 to a Delhi-based contractor for Rs 75 crore with an 18-month timeline, the project stalled due to farmer protests over compensation and delays in land acquisition. After the original design, which included four loops, was revised to add ramps connecting 60m and 30m wide service roads running parallel to the expressway, the cost of the project was revised to Rs 123 crore in 2023, with the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) agreeing to share 21% of the cost and NHAI the remaining 79%. Subsequently, the foundation stone was laid by then chief secretary DS Mishra on Dec 15, 2023. But fresh challenges emerged when the contractor demanded an additional Rs 22 crore, citing increased earthwork costs. YEIDA rejected the demand and referred the matter to NHAI, which also turned it down, stating that cost revisions were already approved and no further changes were permissible under the contract. The Authority then issued a notice warning the contractor to begin work by May 15, 2024, or face termination. YEIDA later decided to sign an MoU with NHAI for the construction of the interchange, ultimately handing over the entire responsibility to NHAI last year. The UP cabinet approved the handover in April this year. NHAI will now oversee not just the construction and design but also operation and maintenance, including toll collection. YEIDA retains ownership of the 60 hectares of land involved, while future policy decisions will rest with the state govt.

What Is UAE's Golden Visa And Can You Get It For Rs 23 Lakh? FAQs Answered
UAE Golden Visa: Can any Indian get a lifetime UAE visa by paying Rs 23 lakh? UAE authorities have now issued clarifications to set the record straight. Dubai Golden Visa: The UAE Golden Visa has been the subject of much buzz lately — especially after misleading social media posts and reports went viral about special deals, new nomination rules, and even a 'lifetime" visa being available for Indians at a fixed cost. UAE authorities have now issued clarifications to set the record straight. Here's everything you need to know and all your questions answered on the UAE Golden Visa. What is the UAE Golden Visa? The UAE Golden Visa is a long-term residency visa that allows foreign nationals to live, work, and study in the UAE without needing a local sponsor. First introduced in 2019, it offers 10-year validity (renewable) and targets investors, professionals, exceptional talents, scientists, entrepreneurs, and outstanding students. It aims to attract and retain global talent to contribute to the UAE's economic and developmental growth. Can You Get UAE Golden Visa for Rs 23 Lakh? No, there is no such fixed-rate Golden Visa available for Rs 23 lakh. This false claim gained traction on social media in India, misleading many into believing that a lifetime visa could be purchased for Dh100,000 (roughly Rs 23 lakh). However, the UAE government has officially denied any such scheme. Authorities warned the public to rely only on verified channels and not fall for offers that sound 'too good to be true". Is UAE Golden Visa a Lifetime Visa? No, the UAE Golden Visa is not a lifetime visa. It is valid for 10 years and is renewable upon meeting the criteria. The rumour about lifetime visas being granted to select nationalities, including Indians, was also false. A UAE official clarified to Khaleej Times that 'there is no such thing as a lifetime visa for any nationality." Can Any Indian Get UAE Golden Visa? Not automatically. Indians — like any other nationality — must meet the eligibility criteria set by UAE authorities. There is no nationality-specific entitlement. Claims that Indians are being offered Golden Visas in a special scheme have been refuted by the UAE government. Who All Are Eligible for UAE Golden Visa? According to the UAE government guidelines, the following categories of people may be eligible for the 10-year Golden Visa: Applicants must meet specific financial, academic, or professional benchmarks based on the category they apply under. How to Apply for UAE Golden Visa? The application can be made through official channels, including: You will need to submit documents proving your eligibility — such as educational degrees, salary certificates, investment documents, or recognition awards — depending on your category. What Was the Confusion Over UAE Golden Visa and What Authorities Said? A misleading campaign circulated through social media and WhatsApp groups in India sparked the confusion. The message falsely claimed that Indians could get a lifetime Golden Visa for Dh100,000 and even nominate others. Some reports implied that Indian businessmen were being offered the visa at fixed rates. The Khaleej Times reported that UAE officials have categorically denied all such claims. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security confirmed there is no such programme and urged the public to verify any information with official government websites. The UAE Golden Visa remains a merit-based long-term visa programme. However, viral social media rumours about lifetime visas, fixed-price packages, or nationality-based entitlements are completely false and have been officially denied.
