5. What is the Money Being Used For?
Unlike many IPOs that are just "exit doors" for old investors, this is a 100% Fresh Issue. Every rupee raised (after expenses) goes into the business:
₹27.02 Crore: Buying new high-tech machinery to expand their production capacity.
Remaining funds: General corporate purposes and working capital.
6. The Quick Verdict: Pros & Cons
The Good:
Niche Market: High entry barriers in aerospace mean less competition.
Strong KPIs: High ROCE and surging margins.
Clean Use of Funds: Money is going directly into growth (machinery).
The Risks:
SME Volatility: SME IPOs can be illiquid and carry higher risk than mainboard stocks.
Customer Concentration: A large chunk of their revenue comes from just a few major clients.
Single Facility: Most operations are under one roof in Bengaluru; any local disruption hits 100% of the business.
