IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
The company is 100% EOU for agro products that are mainly used for pickles in global markets. It specialized in Gherkin and other pickled vegetables. The sudden boost in margins from FY23 onwards raises eyebrows. Its debt equity ratio of 2.77 as of September 30, 2024 remains major concern. Well-informed investors may park moderate funds for medium to long term.
