CRISIL Ratings, the Monitoring Agency, has submitted its report on IRM Energy's use of IPO proceeds for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The company raised Rs 4,957.59 million (net) from its October 2023 IPO across three purposes: CGD network development in Namakkal and Tiruchirappalli (Rs 3,072.62 million), loan prepayment (Rs 1,350 million), and general corporate purposes (Rs 534.97 million). The loan repayment objective is fully completed, and general corporate purposes is nearly done at Rs 529.71 million used. However, the CGD capex objective is significantly behind schedule with only Rs 474.13 million (about 15%) utilized, falling well short of the Rs 1,451.86 million target for FY25. The unutilized Rs 2,603.75 million is parked in fixed deposits with Bank of Baroda, IndusInd Bank, and Kotak Bank earning 6.90%-7.80% interest. No deviations from stated objects were reported.
Investors should note the meaningful delay in the core CGD network capex deployment, which the company attributes to slow site identification for CNG stations and pending government permissions for pipeline laying. While there is no financial irregularity, the slow project execution could push timelines for revenue generation from the Tamil Nadu CGD network into later fiscal years, potentially affecting near-term growth visibility.
