Based on Red Herring Prospectus dated July 16, 2026 | IT Systems Integration and Managed Services | Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh
STATUS: RED HERRING PROSPECTUS FILED (Live Offer) | Fresh Issue: up to Rs.17,000 Lakhs (No Offer for Sale) | Bid/Issue Opens: July 23, 2026 | Bid/Issue Closes: July 27, 2026 | Highest RoNW Among Disclosed Peers (FY2026) | Order Book: Rs.35,695.70 Lakhs |
Xtranet Technologies Limited (formerly Xtranet Technologies Private Limited) is a Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh-headquartered IT and IT-enabled services company providing systems integration and managed services to both Government and Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) clients and private-sector clients across verticals including automotive and retail, education, financial services, and government and utilities.
Its registered and corporate office is at Z-24, Zone-1, M.P. Nagar, Bhopal 462011, Madhya Pradesh. Its website is https://xtranetindia.com/. Its CIN is U72200MP2002PLC014956. The Promoters are Sukhbir Singh Kukreja (Managing Director), Jogendrapal Singh Alagh (Whole-time Director), and Shiney Sukhbir (Director). Chief Financial Officer is Chetan Anand; Company Secretary and Compliance Officer is Kavita Malik.
The company generates revenue through a mix of fixed-price contracts, time-and-materials arrangements, and recurring service agreements, secured predominantly through competitive government tender processes, tracked via the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and other central, state and PSU procurement platforms. Its bid-to-win ratio has ranged from 38% to 43% across the last three fiscals (214 bids submitted and 91 won in Fiscal 2026 alone). As of April 30, 2026, the company's order book stood at Rs.35,695.70 lakhs.
To support growth, the company has already completed the civil structure of a new technology and operations hub on a 4-acre site in Bhopal (IT Park, Badwai Road), held on a 99-year lease from the Government of Madhya Pradesh since March 2019, with internal infrastructure (networking, servers, security systems) still to be fitted out.
A significant, though not majority, share of revenue comes from Government and PSU clients: 47.06% in Fiscal 2026, 59.46% in Fiscal 2025, and 46.32% in Fiscal 2024, with the balance from private-sector clients.
Within this, a meaningful portion is delivered through subcontracting arrangements as an implementation or delivery partner to prime contractors on government-awarded projects, representing 25.62% of total revenue in Fiscal 2026 (41.50% in Fiscal 2025 and 28.82% in Fiscal 2024). The company's financial year ends March 31.
Key Basics
This Offer is a 100% Book Built Issue comprising solely a Fresh Issue of up to Rs.17,000 Lakhs; there is no Offer for Sale, so the Promoters are not monetising any part of their holding through this Issue. The RHP is dated July 16, 2026, and, notably, shares the same Bid/Issue window (opening July 23, 2026) as Lohia Corp Limited elsewhere in this report series, both live concurrently. The Issue is made under Regulation 6(1) of SEBI ICDR Regulations, the standard main board profitability-based route, listing on both NSE and BSE.

Bid/Issue Dates | Anchor Investor Bidding: July 22, 2026. Bid/Issue Opens: July 23, 2026. Bid/Issue Closes: July 27, 2026. |
Listed Peers | Three listed peers: Silver Touch Technologies Limited, Dynacons Systems & Solutions Limited, and Coforge Limited. Industry P/E: highest 63.65x, lowest 20.20x, average 39.79x. |
Unlike several other companies in this report series, this Offer relies on a single, smaller Book Running Lead Manager (Share India Capital Services) rather than a multi-bank syndicate, despite being a standard Regulation 6(1) main board issue. All Offer proceeds are a Fresh Issue for the Company's own use (see Section 3); there are no Selling Shareholders to evaluate separately.
This is a Fresh-Issue-only Offer; the entire Rs.17,000 Lakh Issue accrues to the Company, and there is no Offer for Sale.
Object | Amount (Rs. Lakhs) | Details |
Repayment/Prepayment of Borrowings | 2,019.60 | Full or partial repayment of five specific working capital term loans from Tata Capital Limited and HDFC Bank Limited, against total consolidated borrowings of Rs.13,621.79 Lakhs as of April 30, 2026. |
Capex: Systems and Hardware | 848.06 | Purchase and installation of IT hardware, networking equipment, servers, storage, and software licences (24 line items, including HP servers and SAN storage, Sonic Wall firewalls, and 250 laptops) at the new Bhopal technology hub, whose civil structure is already complete. No purchase orders placed as of the RHP date. |
Working Capital | 10,200.00 | Funding working capital for Fiscal 2027 and Fiscal 2028, to support project mobilisation, Earnest Money Deposits and Performance Bank Guarantees required for government and PSU contracts, and to enable bidding for larger, higher-value tenders. |
General Corporate Purposes | [TBD] | Capped at 25% of Gross Proceeds. |
TOTAL IDENTIFIED OBJECTS | 13,067.66 | Fixed-rupee objects total Rs.13,067.66 Lakhs (76.9% of the Rs.17,000 Lakh Fresh Issue). None of the Objects have been appraised by a bank or financial institution. |
The largest Object by far, working capital at Rs.10,200 Lakhs (60% of the Fresh Issue), is directly tied to the mechanics of government contracting: such contracts typically require Earnest Money Deposits and Performance Bank Guarantees upfront, often bundle hardware, services and multi-year Annual Maintenance Contracts (lengthening the cash conversion cycle), and may withhold 5% to 10% retention money until project completion.
The company explicitly frames this Object as enabling it to bid for larger, higher-value government and PSU contracts post-listing, a reasonable rationale given its growing order book (Rs.35,695.70 Lakhs) and improving bid-to-win ratio. The capex Object (Rs.848.06 Lakhs) funds the internal fit-out of a technology hub whose civil structure is already built using internal accruals, and the debt repayment Object (Rs.2,019.60 Lakhs) is a standard balance-sheet strengthening measure.
As with most such filings, no purchase orders have yet been placed for the proposed hardware, and General Corporate Purposes remains capped only as a percentage (25% of Gross Proceeds).

Revenue, Profitability, and Government Dependency
Metric | FY2026 (Rs. Lakhs) | FY2025 (Rs. Lakhs) | FY2024 (Rs. Lakhs) |
Revenue from Operations | 36,528.74 | 27,608.15 | 23,294.07 |
Revenue Growth % YoY | +32.32% | +18.53% | N/A |
Government/PSU Revenue (% of Total) | 47.06% | 59.46% | 46.32% |
Subcontracting Revenue (% of Total) | 25.62% | 41.50% | 28.82% |
Profit After Tax (PAT) | 4,072.76 | 3,003.47 | 1,094.25 |
PAT Margin % | 11.15% | 10.88% | 4.70% |
Basic and Diluted EPS (Rs., bonus-adjusted) | 10.40 | 8.15 | 3.17 |
Return on Net Worth (RoNW) % | 29.60% | 31.15% | 28.38% |
NAV per Share (Rs.) | 34.74 |

Bid-to-Win Ratio | 43% | 38% | 42% |
Revenue grew from Rs.23,294.07 Lakhs (FY2024) to Rs.27,608.15 Lakhs (FY2025, +18.53%) to Rs.36,528.74 Lakhs (FY2026, +32.32%), while PAT grew nearly fourfold, from Rs.1,094.25 Lakhs to Rs.4,072.76 Lakhs, with PAT Margin more than doubling from 4.70% to 11.15%. Government and PSU clients contributed a meaningful but not dominant share of revenue across all three years (46.32% to 59.46%), with the balance from private-sector clients; within the government-linked share, a substantial portion was delivered as a subcontractor to prime contractors rather than through direct contracts, ranging from 25.62% to 41.50% of total revenue across the periods shown.
The order book stood at Rs.35,695.70 Lakhs as of April 30, 2026, and the bid-to-win ratio for direct-contract tenders has ranged between 38% and 43% over the last three fiscals, a reasonable, broadly stable competitive position in government tendering.
Return on Net Worth has been high and relatively stable (28.38% to 31.15% to 29.60%, FY2024 to FY2026), a more consistent trajectory than several other companies in this report series that show sharp RoNW swings tied to recent capital restructuring; this suggests Xtranet's profitability improvement is more organically driven by revenue and margin growth than a shrinking or newly-enlarged equity base.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Contingent Liabilities
Item | Mar 2026 (Rs. Lakhs) | Mar 2025 (Rs. Lakhs) | Mar 2024 (Rs. Lakhs) |
Total Assets | 34,197.08 | 32,179.26 | 20,294.07 |
Total Equity | 13,571.66 | 9,650.06 | 4,050.24 |
Trade Receivables | 11,443.66 | 16,234.39 | 10,026.67 |
Inventories | 7,881.13 | 7,996.63 | 5,453.82 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | 145.75 | 108.65 | 317.45 |
Contingent Liabilities | 4,273.63 | 4,219.81 | 2,385.95 |
Contingent Liabilities (% of Net Worth) | 31.42% | 44.19% | 61.53% |
Net Cash from Operating Activities | 2,757.39 | 861.79 | (116.01) |
Net Cash from Investing Activities | (6,751.93) | (3,043.53) | (1,580.88) |
Net Cash from Financing Activities | 4,031.64 | 1,972.94 | 1,923.40 |
Total Assets grew substantially, from Rs.20,294.07 Lakhs (FY2024) to Rs.34,197.08 Lakhs (FY2026), driven partly by capital work-in-progress for the new Bhopal facility and partly by working capital tied up in inventories (hardware for ongoing projects) and trade receivables.
Operating cash flow improved from a negative Rs.116.01 Lakhs (FY2024) to a positive Rs.2,757.39 Lakhs (FY2026), a genuinely positive trend, though FY2024's negative figure and the still-substantial trade receivables balance (Rs.11,443.66 Lakhs as of FY2026) underline the cash-intensive nature of government contracting the working capital Object in Section 3 is designed to address.
Contingent liabilities, almost entirely bank guarantees for tender participation and performance obligations, have grown in absolute terms (Rs.2,385.95 Lakhs to Rs.4,273.63 Lakhs) but declined as a percentage of Net Worth (61.53% to 31.42%) over the same period, indicating the equity base has grown faster than the guarantee exposure.
How Does It Compare to Peers?
The RHP discloses three listed industry peers in IT systems integration and services: Silver Touch Technologies Limited, Dynacons Systems & Solutions Limited, and Coforge Limited (a large-cap IT services company). Figures below are Fiscal 2026; P/E for peers is based on closing market price on BSE as of July 2, 2026 divided by Diluted EPS.
Company | Revenue FY26 (Rs. Lakhs) | EPS (Rs.) | P/E (x) | RoNW (%) | NAV/Share (Rs.) |
Xtranet Technologies Limited (Our Company) | 36,528.74 | 10.28 | N.A. | 29.60% | 34.74 |
Silver Touch Technologies Limited | 34,199.35 | 2.82 | 63.65 | 21.06% | 13.38 |
Dynacons Systems & Solutions Ltd. | 1,42,428.34 | 66.64 | 20.20 | 26.89% | 247.59 |
Coforge Limited | 16,40,270.00 | 44.30 | 35.51 | 16.31% | 252.61 |
Xtranet's FY2026 RoNW of 29.60% is the highest among all three listed peers, ahead of Dynacons Systems & Solutions' 26.89%, Silver Touch Technologies' 21.06%, and Coforge's 16.31%, despite Xtranet being far smaller by revenue than both Dynacons (Rs.1,42,428.34 Lakhs) and Coforge (Rs.16,40,270.00 Lakhs), and roughly comparable in scale to Silver Touch Technologies.
The industry P/E range is moderate (20.20x to 63.65x, average 39.79x). Interestingly, Dynacons Systems & Solutions, one of the disclosed listed peers, is also named as a vendor supplying networking and cabling hardware for Xtranet's own capital expenditure Object in Section 3; the RHP confirms this vendor relationship is at arm's length and the vendor is not a related party.
Since the Issue Price and hence Xtranet's own P/E remain undetermined ([TBD]), the ultimate valuation attractiveness relative to this peer set cannot yet be assessed, but Xtranet's combination of the highest RoNW in the group and a strong recent growth trajectory is a favourable starting point.
Key Risks
l Government and PSU clients contributed a significant share of revenue across all three years shown (46.32% to 59.46%), secured through competitive tender processes; changes in tender qualification criteria, delays in project announcements, or shifts in government IT budget allocations could materially affect revenue, and the company has previously been disqualified from certain bids due to eligibility criteria it did not meet.
l A substantial portion of revenue, even within the government-linked segment, is delivered through subcontracting arrangements as a delivery partner to prime contractors (25.62% to 41.50% of total revenue across the periods shown) rather than through direct customer contracts, reducing the company's direct control over contract terms and customer relationships for this share of the business.
l The company is heavily reliant on its top 10 customers (per the RHP's own risk factor disclosure), and the loss of, or a significant reduction in orders from, these customers could materially affect results.
l Statutory Auditors noted an emphasis of matter in the audit report for Fiscal 2025, disclosing that the audit trail (edit log) feature required under the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 was not enabled in the company's accounting software for the full year, though this has been remediated from Fiscal 2026 onward; the same audit reports also reference pending litigation relating to GST, Income Tax, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, the Industrial Disputes Act, and the Negotiable Instruments Act.
l Business operations are concentrated in specific states (per the RHP's own risk factor disclosure), exposing the company to regional economic, regulatory, or demand-side disruptions.
l Revenue is concentrated in a small number of core service offerings (per the RHP's own risk factor disclosure), a single-offering dependency within the broader IT and IT-enabled services space.
l Operating cash flow was negative in Fiscal 2024 (Rs.116.01 Lakhs negative), though it has since turned positive and grown substantially (Rs.861.79 Lakhs in FY2025, Rs.2,757.39 Lakhs in FY2026).
l Contingent liabilities of Rs.4,273.63 Lakhs as of Fiscal 2026, almost entirely bank guarantees, reflect the scale of tender participation and performance obligations typical of government contracting, and could crystallise if guarantees are called.
l No purchase orders have yet been placed for the systems and hardware to be funded under the capital expenditure Object of this Offer, and the new Bhopal technology hub's internal fit-out remains incomplete.
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.
l This Offer relies on a single, smaller Book Running Lead Manager rather than a multi-bank syndicate, despite being a standard Regulation 6(1) main board issue.
Positives to Note
l Return on Net Worth of 29.60% (FY2026) is the highest among all three disclosed listed peers (21.06%, 26.89%, and 16.31%), and has remained high and relatively stable across the last three fiscals (28.38% to 31.15% to 29.60%), a more consistent trajectory than several recently-restructured companies in this report series.
l Strong, accelerating revenue and profit growth: revenue grew from Rs.23,294.07 Lakhs (FY2024) to Rs.36,528.74 Lakhs (FY2026), and PAT grew nearly fourfold, from Rs.1,094.25 Lakhs to Rs.4,072.76 Lakhs, over the same period.
l A growing order book (Rs.35,695.70 Lakhs as of April 2026) and a reasonable, broadly stable bid-to-win ratio for government tenders (38% to 43% across the last three fiscals), reflecting genuine competitive positioning rather than one-off wins.
l Improving cash generation: operating cash flow turned from negative Rs.116.01 Lakhs (FY2024) to positive Rs.2,757.39 Lakhs (FY2026), a meaningful improvement in the underlying cash conversion of the business.
l Genuine diversification between government and private-sector clients (a roughly 47%/53% split in FY2026), reducing pure dependency on either segment relative to a business serving only one.
l Ongoing investment in delivery infrastructure: a purpose-built technology and operations hub in Bhopal, held on a long-term (99-year) government lease, intended to support larger and more complex future contracts.
l A largely clean litigation and compliance history, with the one specific auditor emphasis of matter identified (an audit trail feature gap in FY2025) already remediated from FY2026 onward.
