Rajputana Stainless IPO Review
Rajputana Stainless markets its products under the ‘RSL’ brand, producing more than 80 grades of stainless steel. The company operates an integrated production setup, ensuring consistently high-capacity utilization. Both its melting and rolling operations typically run at nearly full capacity, maintaining utilization rates close to 100%.
The company’s planned forward integration into stainless‑steel seamless pipes is expected to enhance product diversification and strengthen long‑term growth visibility, SBI Securities noted.
Additionally, Rajputana Stainless intends to deploy ₹98 crore from IPO proceeds towards repayment of borrowings, which will materially reduce its Total Debt/Equity from 0.8x to 0.2x, thereby improving balance sheet strength and generate savings in finance costs.
“At the upper price band of ₹122, Rajputana Stainless IPO is valued at a P/E of 25.6x and EV/EBITDA of 12.6x on a post‑issue basis, and given Rajputana Stainless’ superior profitability metrics relative to peers, the valuation appears relatively attractive. We recommend investors to subscribe to the issue at the cut-off price for a long-term investment horizon,” said the brokerage house.
