Objects of the issue

  • Setting up new Dedicated Unit for Expansion of their Pick & Carry Cranes Manufacturing Capacity
  • Repayment or pre-payment, in full or part, of certain borrowings availed by the Company
  • Further Investment in NBFC Subsidiary (Barota Finance Ltd.) for financing the augmentation of its capital base to meet its future capital requirements.
  • General Corporate Purposes

Strengths

  • The company operates ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing facilities spanning 1,27,840 square metres in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. These facilities house a captive foundry unit, a dedicated machine shop, and fabrication and assembly units for tractors and pick and carry cranes.
  • In a strategic move to bolster its operations, the company has established an in-house Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) named Barota Finance Limited. This subsidiary offers tractor financing solutions to its customers, enhancing the company's service portfolio.
  • The company has successfully penetrated international markets, exporting its products to a multitude of countries, including Nepal, Syria, Sudan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Kuwait, Jordan, Gabon, Chile, Yemen, Uruguay, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Afghanistan, Mexico, Kenya, Uganda, UAE, Malaysia, and Germany, with an annual production capacity of 3,600 units.

Risks

  • A substantial portion of the company's revenue is derived from the sale of tractors and pick-carry cranes. This heavy reliance on these product lines exposes the business to potential adverse impacts in the event of reduced demand or manufacturing disruptions.
  • The company faces the risk of being unable to obtain, renew, or maintain the requisite statutory and regulatory licences, registrations, and approvals needed to operate its business. Such a situation could result in significant adverse effects on the company's business, financial condition, and operational results.
  • The company lacks long-term agreements with its raw material suppliers. This absence of contractual commitments may lead to increased raw material costs or potential shortages, posing challenges to the company's supply chain and cost management.

Work out the listing gain for this IPO

How allotment works

If the retail portion is not fully subscribed, every valid application is allotted in full. If it is oversubscribed, SEBI's rules require that as many applicants as possible receive at least one lot, so the shares are allotted by a computerised lottery across all valid applications, one lot each, until the retail portion is exhausted. Applying for more lots does not improve your chance in a lottery; it only increases what you receive if the issue is under-subscribed.

The basis of allotment document, published by the registrar on the allotment date, states the ratio: for example, one applicant in seven received one lot.

Allotment status is published by the registrar on its website, searchable by PAN, application number or demat account, and also on the exchange's website. Allotted shares are credited to the demat account the day before listing, and blocked money for unsuccessful applications is released the same day. The Rupix app can check allotment status by PAN once the registrar publishes it.

What happens on listing day

Shares list within three working days of the issue closing. On listing day the exchanges run a special pre-open session from nine o'clock, during which orders are collected and an opening price is discovered from them; trading in the share begins after that, usually around ten. The opening price is the listing price that appears on this page once the issue has listed, and the listing gain or loss is the difference between it and the issue price.

For a mainboard issue, the share then trades in the normal way with the exchange's price band for a new listing. For an SME issue, shares trade in lots rather than one at a time, and the market can be thin, so selling on listing day is not always possible at the opening price. Capital gains on shares sold within a year of allotment are short-term and taxed at the short-term rate.
