IPO Analysis | NSE and BSE Main Board | 100% Book Built Offer (Fresh Issue and Offer for Sale) | Regulation 6(1)
Based on Red Herring Prospectus dated July 17, 2026 | Precision Engineering (Metal Injection Molding) | Bengaluru, Karnataka
STATUS: RED HERRING PROSPECTUS FILED (Live Offer) | Fresh Issue: up to Rs.5,000 Million | Offer for Sale: up to 68,291,022 Shares | Bid/Offer Opens: July 23, 2026 | Bid/Offer Closes: July 27, 2026 | No Domestic Listed Peers | 5-Bank BRLM Syndicate |
Indo-MIM Limited is a Bengaluru, Karnataka-headquartered precision engineering company providing end-to-end manufacturing of precision components using Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology, alongside investment casting, tooling, and precision machining. Its registered and corporate office is at 45(P), KIADB Industrial Area, Hoskote, Bengaluru 562114, Karnataka. Its website is www.indo-mim.com. Its CIN is U28110KA1996PLC137499.
The Promoters are Green Meadows Investments Ltd (a corporate promoter holding 90.44% of pre-Offer capital), Krishna Chivukula (Chairman and Managing Director), Krishna Chivukula Jr., Raj Chivukula, and Jagadamba Chandrasekhar. Company Secretary and Compliance Officer is Santosh Kumar Dash.
The company operates multiple specialised manufacturing units across South India: MIM units and a powder plant in Doddaballapura and Hoskote, an investment casting unit in Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh), a tooling and machining unit in Devanahalli, and a machine shop in Sriperumbudur (Tamil Nadu), serving high-value, high-barrier-to-entry end markets including aerospace, medical devices, automotive, and industrial equipment.
In 2023, the company acquired Triax Industries, LLC (USA), adding nearly two decades of specialised vacuum casting expertise, including reverse gravity, directionally solidified, and single crystal casting, historically focused on aftermarket aerospace parts and now being repositioned toward scalable, OEM-focused manufacturing to serve the growing industrial gas turbine (IGT) market.
The company's business is significantly export-oriented; in its regulatory filings regarding cost-audit exemptions, it has represented that export turnover exceeded 75% of total turnover in several recent fiscal years. A notable feature of the shareholder base: the Indian Institute of Technology Madras holds a stake in the company (0.95% of pre-Offer capital) and is one of the Selling Shareholders in this Offer, an unusual institutional association for an Indian industrial manufacturer. The company's financial year ends March 31.
Key Basics
This Offer combines a Fresh Issue of up to Rs.5,000 Million with an Offer for Sale of up to 68,291,022 Equity Shares by three Selling Shareholders.

The Issue is made under Regulation 6(1) of SEBI ICDR Regulations, the standard main board route, and is backed by a five-bank Book Running Lead Manager syndicate, HDFC Bank, Axis Capital, ICICI Securities, Kotak Mahindra Capital, and SBI Capital Markets, reflecting the scale and institutional profile of this listing.

The Offer for Sale here is overwhelmingly dominated by the corporate Promoter, Green Meadows Investments Ltd, which holds 90.44% of pre-Offer capital and is offering the large majority of the Offered Shares.
A distinctive and unusual feature of this Offer is the participation of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras as a Selling Shareholder, holding a small but notable equity stake acquired at a Weighted Average Cost of Acquisition of Nil; this is an uncommon institutional shareholder relationship for an Indian industrial manufacturer and may reflect a historical technology or research collaboration, though the RHP does not elaborate on its origin in the extract reviewed.
Only the Fresh Issue component (up to Rs.5,000 Million) accrues to the Company; the Offer for Sale proceeds go entirely to the three Selling Shareholders, and the Company receives no benefit from that portion.
Object | Amount (Rs. Mn) | Details |
Repayment/Prepayment of Borrowings | 4,000.00 | Repayment of a portion (32.99%) of total consolidated borrowings of Rs.12,123.49 Million (as of May 31, 2026), across specific term loans from Kotak Mahindra Bank and Axis Bank originally used to fund capital expenditure across the Company's Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu manufacturing units, and the acquisition of Triax Industries, LLC (USA). |
General Corporate Purposes | [TBD] | Capped at 25% of Gross Proceeds. Exact amount to be finalised upon determination of the Offer Price. |
TOTAL FRESH ISSUE | 5,000.00 | Identified specific object (debt repayment) totals Rs.4,000.00 Million (80% of the Fresh Issue). None of the Objects have been appraised by a bank or financial institution. |
The sole identified Object, debt repayment, is documented down to the individual loan level: the specific term loans being repaid were originally used to fund capital expenditure at named manufacturing units across the Company's Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu facilities, and, notably, to fund the acquisition of Triax Industries, LLC in the USA, the vacuum casting specialist now being repositioned toward the industrial gas turbine OEM market.
Reducing this debt (32.99% of total consolidated borrowings as of May 31, 2026) is intended to improve the Company's debt-to-equity ratio and free up internal accruals for further growth investment. As with most DRHP-stage filings, General Corporate Purposes is capped only as a percentage (25% of Gross Proceeds) rather than an absolute number.
Financial Performance
Note: All figures in Rs. Million unless stated; Rs. Crore equivalent provided for Revenue. Financial periods: Fiscal 2026, Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024 (years ended March 31); no interim stub period is presented in this RHP. Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
Revenue, Profitability, and a Recurring 'Exceptional Items' Pattern
Metric | FY2026 (Rs. Mn) | FY2025 (Rs. Mn) | FY2024 (Rs. Mn) |
Revenue from Operations | 41,929.85 | 33,295.77 | 28,703.95 |
Revenue (Rs. Crore) | Rs.4,193.0 Cr | Rs.3,329.6 Cr | Rs.2,870.4 Cr |
Revenue Growth % YoY | +25.93% | +16.00% | +6.60% |
Profit Before Exceptional Items and Tax | 8,117.76 | 6,820.81 | 5,116.79 |
Exceptional Items (Charge) | 780.36 | 1,010.78 | 764.74 |
Profit After Tax (PAT) | 5,335.43 | 4,237.34 | 2,837.34 |
PAT Margin % | 12.72% | 12.73% | 9.89% |
Basic EPS (Rs.) | 11.06 | 8.79 | 5.89 |
Diluted EPS (Rs.) | 10.87 | 8.60 | 5.89 |
Return on Net Worth (RoNW, avg. basis) % | 21.26% | 19.94% | 14.01% |
NAV per Share (Rs.) | 58.24 |
|
|
Dividends Paid | Nil | 2,848.80 | 3,735.74 |
Revenue grew steadily from Rs.28,703.95 million (FY2024) to Rs.33,295.77 million (FY2025, +16.00%) to Rs.41,929.85 million (FY2026, +25.93%), with PAT growing even faster, from Rs.2,837.34 million to Rs.5,335.43 million, an 88% increase over two years, alongside PAT Margin improving from 9.89% to 12.72%.
One item worth investors' specific attention: the Company has recorded 'exceptional items' as a charge against profit in all three fiscal years shown (Rs.764.74 million, Rs.1,010.78 million, and Rs.780.36 million respectively).
Exceptional items are, by definition, meant to be non-recurring; three consecutive years of broadly similar-sized charges is an unusual pattern, and prospective investors should review the underlying notes to the Restated Consolidated Financial Information to understand what is driving this recurring item before relying on headline PAT figures at face value.
Return on Net Worth has improved steadily from 14.01% (FY2024) to 19.94% (FY2025) to 21.26% (FY2026), a more gradual and less volatile trajectory than several other companies in this report series that show sharp swings tied to recent capital restructuring events, suggesting this improvement is more organically driven by operating performance.
Notably, the Company paid substantial dividends in FY2024 (Rs.3,735.74 million) and FY2025 (Rs.2,848.80 million) but none in FY2026, consistent with a company conserving cash ahead of its public listing.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Item | Mar 2026 (Rs. Mn) | Mar 2025 (Rs. Mn) | Mar 2024 (Rs. Mn) |
Total Assets | 48,973.33 | 41,408.41 | 37,575.13 |
Total Equity | 28,195.54 | 21,994.34 | 20,505.11 |
Total Borrowings | 10,904.88 | 12,471.95 | 10,850.12 |
Inventories | 8,949.85 | 8,991.56 | 6,768.93 |
Trade Receivables | 7,637.87 | 6,438.20 | 5,542.43 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | 3,895.62 | 1,746.19 | 2,328.57 |
Net Cash from Operating Activities | 10,772.41 | 5,062.71 | 4,583.34 |
Net Cash from Investing Activities | (5,365.53) | (3,359.26) | (4,755.07) |
Net Cash from Financing Activities | (3,560.82) | (2,379.36) | (926.77) |
Total Assets grew from Rs.37,575.13 million (FY2024) to Rs.48,973.33 million (FY2026), funded by a combination of retained earnings (Total Equity grew from Rs.20,505.11 million to Rs.28,195.54 million) and borrowings, which peaked at Rs.12,471.95 million in FY2025 before easing slightly to Rs.10,904.88 million in FY2026 (ahead of the further reduction planned via this Offer's Objects).
Operating cash flow has been consistently strong and more than doubled over the period shown, from Rs.4,583.34 million (FY2024) to Rs.10,772.41 million (FY2026), comfortably funding the Company's ongoing capital expenditure programme (Rs.4,172.65 million to Rs.3,760.50 million in investing outflows for property, plant and equipment across the periods) without requiring proportionate increases in external borrowing.
How Does It Compare to Peers?
This is a genuinely unusual case: the RHP states there are no listed companies or peers in India engaged in a business similar to Indo-MIM's end-to-end Metal Injection Molding solutions. For disclosure purposes, the Company has instead identified a single global peer, Jiangsu Gian Technology Co., Ltd, listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China. Figures below are for Calendar Year 2025 for the peer (converted from CNY at Rs.13.95 per CNY) against Fiscal 2026 for Indo-MIM.
Company | Revenue FY26 (Rs. Mn) | EPS (Rs.) | P/E (x) | RoNW (%) | NAV/Share (Rs.) |
Indo-MIM Limited (Our Company) | 41,929.85 | 11.06 | [TBD] | 21.26% | 58.24 |
Jiangsu Gian Technology Co., Ltd. (China, Shenzhen Stock Exchange) | 40,605.14 | 3.91 | 148.00 | 3.10% | 165.13 |
Indo-MIM's RoNW of 21.26% is dramatically higher than Jiangsu Gian Technology's 3.10%, and the two companies have broadly comparable revenue scale (Rs.41,929.85 million versus Rs.40,605.14 million).
However, this comparison should be read with real caution: it spans different countries, currencies, accounting standards, and market structures, and with only one peer available, there is no way to triangulate whether Indo-MIM's profitability advantage reflects genuine operational superiority, different business mix, or simply structural differences between the two markets.
The peer's much higher NAV per share (Rs.165.13 versus Rs.58.24) and extremely high P/E (148.00x) further limit the comparability of this benchmark. Since the Offer Price and hence Indo-MIM's own P/E remain undetermined ([TBD]), and given the near-total absence of a meaningful peer set, valuation for this Offer will likely need to rely more heavily on the Company's own historical trends (Section 4) than on peer benchmarking.
Key Risks
l The Company has recorded 'exceptional items' as a charge against profit in all three fiscal years shown (Rs.764.74 million, Rs.1,010.78 million, and Rs.780.36 million in FY2024, FY2025 and FY2026 respectively). Despite being labelled exceptional, a similar-sized charge recurring for three consecutive years is not typical of genuinely non-recurring items, and investors should examine the underlying disclosures before treating headline PAT as fully representative of ongoing operating profitability.
l The Company's Chairman and Managing Director and one of its Promoters, Krishna Chivukula, was disqualified from directorship from November 2016 to October 2021 by the Registrar of Companies, Andhra Pradesh, in connection with an unrelated company (Shiva Chem Technologies) being struck off for non-compliance with statutory filing requirements. This was subsequently resolved via Telangana and Andhra Pradesh High Court orders reactivating his director identification number, and he is not presently disqualified, but the matter is disclosed as a governance-relevant historical fact.
l The Company, its Promoters, and certain Key Managerial Personnel have received show cause notices from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs alleging non-compliance with mandatory cost-auditor appointment and cost-audit requirements for Fiscal Years 2022 through 2024; the Company has claimed an export-turnover-based exemption in response, but the matters remain pending.
l The business is significantly export-dependent (with export turnover reported as exceeding 75% of total turnover in several recent fiscal years in the Company's own regulatory filings), and imports a significant portion of raw materials (59.63% to 61.80% of total raw material purchases across the periods shown), creating meaningful foreign exchange and geographic concentration exposure on both the revenue and cost sides.
l Manufacturing operations are concentrated in South India (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu), and the Company has no definitive, binding agreements committing customers to purchase or place orders, exposing revenue to potential order volatility.
l Top 10 customers contributed a meaningful share of revenue (approximately 38% to 39% across recent years, per the Company's own risk factor disclosure), creating customer concentration risk, though this is more moderate than several other companies in this report series.
l Statutory Auditors have included emphasis of matter and certain negative remarks in the audit reports for Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2025 (per the Company's own risk factor disclosure); the specific nature of these remarks was not detailed in the material reviewed.
l A Promoter Group member, Ravi Chandrasekhar, has a disclosed estranged relationship with Director Jagadamba Chandrasekhar, a family governance matter worth noting.
l No domestic listed peer companies exist for this business, and the single global peer identified (Jiangsu Gian Technology, China) has limited direct comparability given differences in currency, accounting standards, and market structure.
l Pricing pressure from customers may limit the Company's ability to raise prices, and Directors Krishna Chivukula and Jagadamba Chandrasekhar have interests in the Company beyond their remuneration.
l The General Corporate Purposes allocation is capped only as a percentage (25% of Gross Proceeds) rather than disclosed as an absolute amount, leaving a portion of Fresh Issue proceeds subject to management discretion at the time of listing.
Positives to Note
l Return on Net Worth has improved steadily and organically, from 14.01% (FY2024) to 19.94% (FY2025) to 21.26% (FY2026), a more gradual, less volatility-prone trajectory than several recently-restructured companies in this report series.
l Strong, consistent revenue and profit growth: revenue grew from Rs.28,703.95 million (FY2024) to Rs.41,929.85 million (FY2026), and PAT grew from Rs.2,837.34 million to Rs.5,335.43 million, an 88% increase, over the same period.
l A diversified, technically differentiated manufacturing base spanning Metal Injection Molding, investment casting, and precision machining across multiple facilities, serving high-value, high-barrier-to-entry end markets including aerospace, medical devices, and industrial equipment.
l A strategically rationale acquisition (Triax Industries, LLC, USA) adding specialised vacuum casting capabilities and positioning the Company for the growing industrial gas turbine OEM market, funded partly by debt this Offer's proceeds will help repay.
l Consistently strong and more than doubling operating cash flow, from Rs.4,583.34 million (FY2024) to Rs.10,772.41 million (FY2026), comfortably funding ongoing capital investment.
l A large, marquee five-bank underwriting syndicate (HDFC Bank, Axis Capital, ICICI Securities, Kotak Mahindra Capital, and SBI Capital Markets), reflecting the scale and institutional quality of this listing.
l A notable, credibility-enhancing shareholder relationship: the Indian Institute of Technology Madras holds an equity stake in the Company, an unusual institutional association for an Indian industrial manufacturer.
