Despite Grey Market Expectations, Parmeshwar Metal's ₹24.74 Crore IPO Seeks Scale
Despite the stock falling short of grey market expectations, the listing reflected the market's trust in the company's expansion potential. It was an all-new issue of 40.56 lakh shares priced at Rs57- Rs61 per share of the ₹24.74 crore IPO.
Parmeshwar Metal plans to reinvest all the proceeds from the initial public offering. It will, for example, enlarge its manufacturing operations with a focus on bunched copper wires and rods at the Dehgam facility in Gujarat, besides investing in part of the issues into furnaces and working capital.
Parmeshwar Metal was established in 2016. The company recycles copper scrap to manufacture wires and rods for power cables, automotive components, and building wires. It has been able to increase its revenue steadily over the years. However, fluctuating copper prices affected the company's profits in the previous fiscal year.
