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 company₹94 Cr
Offer for sale — to existing holders₹0 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.

13.5×earnings — this issue

The issuer names no comparable listed companies: “There are no listed companies in India that are engaged in a business similar to that of our company, accordingly it is not possible to provide an industry comparison in relation to our company. (Stated again under Section 7: There are no listed companies in India that is engage in a business similar to that of our Company. Accordingly, it is not possible to provide a comparison of key performance indicators of industry with our Company.)”

derived: cut-off price Rs189 / stated EPS Rs13.95 (FY ending March 31, 2026, Basic & Diluted EPS as per Restated Consolidated Financial Statements). Peer figures are as printed in the prospectus — they date from its filing, not today. A multiple is one lens, not a verdict.

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.
