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.
| Metric (₹ crore) | Mar 2024 | Mar 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | 26.41 | 29.50 |
| Total Income | 76.02 | 78.23 |
| Profit After Tax | 2.66 | 2.25 |
| EBITDA | 4.30 | 4.99 |
| NET Worth | 13.66 | 15.90 |
| Reserves and Surplus | 13.46 | 15.70 |
| Total Borrowing | 6.85 | 7.42 |
Figures are in ₹ crore and reproduced from the offer document, covering Mar 2024 to Mar 2025. 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
Valuation and return ratios calculated from the issuer's financials. These are the figures the issue price is usually judged against, and the offer document carries the working behind each one.
| Ratio | Value | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings per share | ₹13.92 | Profit after tax divided by the number of shares. |
| P/E at the cap price | 13.58x | Issue price divided by earnings per share. Lower is cheaper, but only against the same industry. |
| P/E after the issue | 18.68x | The same ratio recalculated on the larger post-issue share count. |
| Price to book | 12.12x | Issue price against net assets per share. |
| Net asset value per share | ₹15.59 | What the company owns, less what it owes, per share. |
| Return on equity | 15.20% | Profit earned on shareholders’ money. |
| Return on capital employed | 16.96% | Profit earned on all the capital in the business, including debt. |
| Return on net worth | 14.13% | The offer document’s own name for return on shareholders’ funds. |
| Debt to equity | 0.47x | Borrowings against shareholders’ funds. Higher means more leverage. |
| Profit margin | 2.88% | Profit after tax as a share of income. |
| Operating margin | 6.41% | Operating profit as a share of income, before interest, tax and depreciation. |
| Market capitalisation | ₹344.41 Cr | Value of the company at the issue price. |
Ratios are stated as published. A ratio that is absent here was not stated in the document, and is not the same as a ratio of zero.

Questions people ask
One lot is 600 shares, and the block is calculated at the top of the price band, ₹189.00. That comes to ₹1,13,400.00 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 13 August 2026 to 17 August 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 most recent recorded premium is ₹92.00 per share, against ₹65.00 when recording began on 14 August 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.
We hold the issue price of ₹189.00 and the listing date of 20 August 2026, but our data source does not publish the listing-day open, close or gain, so we cannot state the listing price. The exchange page for this scrip carries the traded price.
