Analysts at SBI Securities have recommended subscribing to the issue for a long-term investment horizon, citing that the company is amongst the largest suppliers of solar pumps under the PM Kusum Scheme for FY23 & FY24 and is one of the few companies with vertically integrated turnkey solar pumping system capabilities in India.
“At the upper price band of Rs 614, the IPO is valued at 9MFY25 annualised P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples of 24.2x and 15.1x, respectively, at post-issue capital,” the brokerage said.
SBI Securities also outlined that an overhang for the business would be its dependence on government projects or policy and delay in cash flow.

The brokerage also noted that the company currently has an order book of Rs 1,100 crore, which is approximately 0.8 times its annualised revenue for the first nine months of FY25, along with an additional bid pipeline of Rs 3,200 crore, which indicates strong growth visibility in the near term.
