Where your money goes

Only the fresh issue reaches the company. The offer for sale is existing shareholders selling their own stock — that money goes to them, not the business.

Fresh issue — to the company94 Cr
Offer for sale — to existing holders0 Cr

A red herring prospectus is filed before the price is fixed, so it states share counts rather than rupee amounts. derived: shares x cut-off price Rs189 + OFS by subtraction from exchange total Rs94 Cr. Checked: exchange issue size Rs94 Cr vs derived Rs94 Cr (0.0% apart).

What the fresh money funds

The stated uses of the net proceeds, from the prospectus’s Objects of the Issue table. Only the fresh issue funds these — the offer-for-sale money goes to the selling shareholders above.

As stated in the prospectus. “General corporate purposes” is the part with no committed use; SEBI caps it at 25% of the issue.

The price they’re asking

From the prospectus’s own “Basis for Issue Price” — the issuer’s earnings multiple against the peers it chose to compare itself with.

SME
What being an SME issue means here. SME issues list on NSE Emerge or BSE SME. They disclose less than mainboard issues, trade far more thinly, and — by regulation — the minimum application is a full lot worth roughly ₹1–1.5 lakh rather than about ₹15,000. That is why the minimum above is so much larger than for a mainboard issue.
