Fund utilisation plan
Shivalic Power Control Pvt Ltd has a tentative plan for using the funds raised from the IPO.
- The electric panel maker plans to use almost half of the funds raised, i.e. around ₹30.03 crore, to meet its working capital needs.
- Around ₹5.82 crore will be spent on buying new machinery. Another ₹1.82 crore will go towards building a new warehouse.
- The company also wants to expand by acquiring other companies. They have set aside ₹5.75 crore for this purpose.
- Some of the funds raised will be used for general business expenses. The exact amount isn’t decided yet but won’t exceed 25% of the total funds.
Shareholding pattern
Shivalic Power Control Pvt Ltd’s directors, Amit Kanwar Jindal and Sapna Jindal, currently hold 96.63% of the shares pre-issue. After the IPO, their ownership will be 70.86% of the issued capital. The remaining 26.67% will be available for shareholders who subscribe through the SME IPO.
Potential pitfalls
- Bank guarantees default: The company has given ₹6.95 crore in bank guarantees. If defaults happen, it can hurt cash flow and future growth.
- Dependency on state revenues: Most of the company’s income comes from Haryana. Problems in this state could impact overall revenue.
- Revenue concentration: The top ten clients make up around 40% of the company’s earnings in the 9 months of FY24. Losing any of them could affect profits.
- Order basis business model: The business works on purchase orders without long-term contracts. This means revenue can be uncertain.
Bottomline
Shivalic Power Control IPO presents a unique investment opportunity in a growing market. While the company shows promise with a strong client base and expansion plans, potential investors should consider the associated risks. Assess the IPO details and fund utilisation plan carefully before making any investment decisions.
