The IPO proceeds will be utilised for repayment of borrowings (Rs 101.3 crore), expansion of Unit IV in Rajasthan (Rs 87.9 crore), working capital needs (Rs 122 crore), and general corporate purposes.
Financially, the company has posted steady growth. Revenue rose to Rs 549 crore in FY25 from Rs 449 crore in FY24, while profit after tax more than doubled to Rs 47 crore from Rs 21 crore. Margins improved, with EBITDA rising to Rs 82 crore in FY25, translating into a 14.9% margin.
At the upper price band, the issue is valued at 24.3x FY25 earnings, broadly in line with listed peers such as Jay Bee Laminations and Vilas Transcore.
Should you subscribe?
Canara Bank Securities recommended a Subscribe rating to the IPO, citing strong financial growth, sectoral tailwinds from power infrastructure expansion, and reasonable valuations relative to peers. However, they caution that heavy dependence on imported CRGO steel, working-capital intensity, and customer concentration remain key risks.

Govt approves procurement of 97 Tejas jets for IAF

The government has approved the proposed procurement of 97 Light Combat Aircraft Tejas fighter jets and six advanced airborne early-warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft for the Indian Air Force at a cost around Rs 85,000 crore, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. The two procurement projects were learnt to have been given the green light by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they said. The Tejas jets will be procured at a cost of around Rs 67,000 crore while the AEW&C project will cost the exchequer around Rs 18,000 crore, it is learnt. Second-hand Airbus-321 planes bought earlier from Air India by the defence ministry will be used for the AEW&C project that is aimed at enhancing the IAF's surveillance and signal intelligence systems. The procurement of the 97 LCA Tejas (MK-1A) comes nearly four years after the defence ministry sealed another deal involving the indigenously-built jet. In February 2021, the defence ministry sealed a Rs 48,000 crore deal with HAL for the procurement of 83 Tejas MK-1A jets for the IAF. The single-engine MK-1A will be a replacement for the IAF's MiG-21 fighters. The IAF is looking at inducting the warplanes as the number of its fighter squadrons have gone down to 31 from the officially sanctioned strength of 42. Tejas is a single-engine multi-role fighter aircraft capable of operating in high-threat air environments. It has been designed to undertake the air defence, maritime reconnaissance and strike roles.

RMG firms quietly assess Bill banning their industry; video game firms welcome move

Real money gaming (RMG) firms struck a cautious tone in responding to the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025, which was passed by the Lok Sabha on Wednesday (August 20, 2025). The Bill prohibits any sort of online game that accepts money from users in exchange for a chance to win a return on the money, or risk losing what they put in. The E-Gaming Federation (EGF), which represents Games24x7 and RummyCircle, two RMG platforms, said that the Bill was a 'distinct opportunity to establish a framework that safeguards players while promoting responsible growth in a sunrise sector.' It added, 'Thoughtful regulation can amplify the positive impact while ensuring responsible and fair practices remain at the core.' The Bill would force these firms to stop offering pay-to-play games. Commissions on these games are a principal revenue stream for RMG firms. 'Death knell' In a letter to Home Minister Amit Shah, the firms underlined their anxieties more explicitly. 'Such a blanket prohibition would strike a death knell for this legitimate, job-creating industry, and would cause serious harm to Indian users and citizens,' the EGF said, along with the All India Gaming Federation and the Federation of Indian Fantasy Sports. 'Fly-by-night' offshore firms would proliferate, investor sentiment would be dampened, and two lakh people would lose their jobs, the letter argued. Video gaming is distinct category Video game companies, which have complained in the past about their industries being conflated with the RMG industry under the umbrella 'gaming' label, welcomed the Bill. 'For the last two years, the singular demand of the Indian video games industry has been recognition and categorisation as a distinct industry-business, not clubbed with online money games,' Harish Chengaiah, CEO of Chennai-based Outlier Games said. 'With the proposed Bill, that demand has finally been met, and we thank the Government of India for it.' The Bill may find takers across the political spectrum, but few voices of support emerged from the Opposition, amid the standoff on the special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and allegations of 'vote theft' by the INDIA coalition. However, Karnataka IT Minister Priyank Kharge and Congress MP Karti Chidambaram have both expressed concerns that an outright prohibition may not fix the problem and instead promote offshore gambling operators' attempts to make inroads among Indian users.
