CARE Ratings Limited has submitted the Q4 FY26 monitoring agency report for Vraj Iron and Steel's IPO of Rs. 171 crore (June 2024). All IPO proceeds have been fully utilized for the stated objects - Rs. 70 crore for loan repayment, Rs. 59.50 crore for expansion capex, Rs. 23.10 crore for general corporate purposes, and Rs. 18.40 crore for issue expenses. There were delays in project execution: the Captive Power Plant was delayed by 2 months and the Billet Plant was delayed by 11 months (completed March 27, 2026 vs April 2025 target) due to supplier delays and heavy rains. The company received Consent to Operate for the billet plant in March 2026 and commercial production has started. No material deviation in fund utilization was observed.
The IPO funds are fully deployed as promised with no deviation, which is positive for shareholder trust. However, the 11-month delay in the billet plant (now operational) suggests execution challenges that investors should note, though commercial production has commenced.
