It is a a globally active, Indian chemical producer, focused on organic chemicals and custom synthesis. It has entered into an agreement with Enaltec Labs Pvt Ltd in December 2012 to manufacture API products for them for a period of 10 years based on the material and specification provided by them.

Ltd., Hetero Labs Ltd & many others in the Domestic and International sector.
To part finance its working capital needs and general corpus fund requirements, the company is coming out with a maiden IPO of 3444000 equity share of Rs. 10 each at a fixed price of Rs.42 per share to mobilize Rs. 14.46 crore. Offer consists of fresh equity issue of 689000 equity share and the rest by way of offer for sale. Issue opens for subscription on 22.05.17 and will close on 25.05.17. Minimum application is to be made for 3000 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. Issue is solely lead managed by Hem Securities Ltd and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar to the issue. On Rs. 10 FV basis after issuing equity at par on MoA, it raised further equity at a price of Rs. 1000 per share in 2010 and has also issued bonus shares in the ratio of 8 for 1 in January 2010, 1.5 for 1 in February 2013 and 3 for 2 in February 2016. Post issue, company's current paid up equity capital of Rs. 12.09 crore will stand enhanced to Rs. 12.78 crore.
On performance front, the company has posted turnover/net profits of Rs. 13.99 cr. / Rs. 0.07 cr. (FY14), Rs. 19.13 cr. / Rs. 3.98 cr. (FY15), Rs. 26.43 cr. / Rs. 3.38 cr. (FY16) and Rs. 35.37 cr. / Rs. 5.79 cr. (FY17). Thus while its top line has shown continuous growth, its bottom line suffered a bit in FY16. Thus if we attribute latest earnings on the fully diluted equity post issue, then asking price is at a P/E of 9 plus(against industry composite of 32 plus and peers trading in the range of 14 to 21 P/E) and P/BV at 2.14. Its average RoNW for last three year is 23.07%.
On merchant banker's front, this is the 32nd mandate from its stable since 2013 and last 10 listings have shown positive trends on the day of listing.
Conclusion: Investors may consider investment from short to long term in this reasonably priced issue.
