Karbonsteel Engineering submitted its first Monitoring Agency Report (by CARE Ratings) covering use of proceeds from its Rs. 48.33 crore IPO held September 9-11, 2025. The IPO funds were earmarked for Umbergaon facility expansion (Rs. 12.29 cr), loan repayment (Rs. 3.08 cr), working capital (Rs. 25.25 cr), general corporate purpose (Rs. 4.30 cr), and issue expenses (Rs. 3.41 cr). During Q2FY26, the company utilized only Rs. 15.30 crore - Rs. 12.71 crore towards working capital (raw material vendor payments and electricity) and Rs. 2.59 crore for issue expenses. No deployment yet towards capex, debt repayment, or GCP. The remaining Rs. 33.03 crore is parked in ICICI Bank FDs earning 6.25% (Rs. 12.30 cr), an HDFC Bank FD at 4% (Rs. 3.55 cr), and current account balances. CARE confirmed no deviation from stated objects, and full utilization is targeted by March 31, 2026.
This is a routine post-IPO regulatory disclosure confirming funds are being deployed per the offer document with no diversions. The slow utilization on capex and loan repayment (Rs. 15.37 cr untouched) is worth watching since the company has until March 31, 2026, to deploy these; unutilized funds are earning up to 6.25% interest which is mildly positive for shareholders.
