Acme India Industries IPO – Quick DRHP View

 Acme India Industries IPO – Quick DRHP View



I went through the RHP. Here’s my simple take:

  • Business: Railway coach interiors, refurbishment & toilet upgradation– a niche railway opportunity.
  • Growth: FY26 revenue ₹264 Cr and PAT ₹24.4 Cr, with a ₹738 Cr order book.
  • Promoters: High promoter holding and industry experience; post-IPO holding remains substantial.
  • IPO funds: Mainly for working capital, debt repayment and capex — rather than just a vague expansion story.
  • Valuation: At ₹196, roughly 14x FY26 EPS; looks reasonable, but not extremely cheap.
  • Future: Railway modernisation and refurbishment offer growth opportunities.
  • Key risks: High dependence on Indian Railways, tender-based business and working-capital requirements and supplier concentration.

Bottom line: A niche railway business with strong order visibility and decent financials, but cash flow and railway dependence are the key things I would watch.

Based on the DRHP; not an investment recommendation.
