About Acme India Industries

Acme India Industries Ltd. designs, makes and installs interiors for Indian railway coaches. The company incorporated in 2021 and works almost entirely through government tenders filed on the Indian Railways e-Procurement System. It furnishes new LHB and Vande Bharat coaches, refurbishes older ICF and LHB coaches, and modernises toilets. It also supplies components such as Braille signage, FRP doors, seats and berths, sanitary ware, epoxy flooring and fire-retardant coatings. Manufacturing runs from a facility in Sonipat, Haryana, with laboratory and testing capacity. The company reports work across 16 railway zones and lists the Modern Coach Factory at Raebareli, the Integral Coach Factory at Chennai and the Rail Coach Factory at Kapurthala among its project sites. Revenue comes from tender-awarded contracts, so order flow depends on Indian Railways capex cycles.

Financial highlights

The last three fiscal years as the offer document states them. Reading across a row shows whether the figure has grown, which is why the years run left to right.

Figures are in ₹ crore and reproduced from the offer document, covering Mar 2024 to Mar 2026. A dash means the document does not state that figure for that period. A fiscal year ending March is labelled by its closing month, and where the document states a figure on a different basis the label here follows the document rather than normalising it.

Key ratios

Price to book3.27xIssue price against net assets per share.
Net asset value per share₹59.94What the company owns, less what it owes, per share.

Who gets what share

SEBI fixes how much of a book-built issue each investor category can be allotted. This is the split for this issue as stated in the offer document.

Reservation by investor category
CategoryShare of issueAmount
Retail individual investors35.02%₹40.45 Cr
Qualified institutional buyers20.00%₹23.11 Cr
Non-institutional (bids above ₹10 lakh)9.99%₹11.54 Cr
Non-institutional (bids up to ₹10 lakh)5.04%₹5.82 Cr

Percentages are reproduced as text from the offer document. A dash means the document does not state an amount for that category. Categories are labelled using the document's own terms, which differ slightly between issues.

Questions people ask

One lot is 600 shares. The price band is ₹186.00 to ₹196.00, and the block is calculated at the top of it, ₹196.00. That comes to ₹1,17,600.00 held in your bank account until the allotment is finalised. If you are not allotted, the block is released and the money never leaves your account.

Bidding runs from 30 September 2026 to 6 October 2026. Applications can be revised or withdrawn while bidding is open. Once it closes, the registrar finalises the basis of allotment the next working day and shares are credited the day after.

The last recorded total is 3.76x. That figure is a snapshot refreshed every 30 minutes, so it can lag the exchange during a bidding day. A multiple above 1.00x means bids exceeded the shares offered.

The most recent recorded premium is ₹31.00 per share, against ₹30.00 when recording began on 27 September 2026. The movement across those days says more than either number on its own.

Retail applications run from 1 lot to 1 lots. The retail category caps an application at ₹2,00,000, so the upper limit is whichever comes first: the lot ceiling or the value ceiling.
