About Forge Auto International IPO

Forge Auto International Limited is launching its IPO, aiming to raise ₹31.10 crores through a fresh issue of 28.8 lakh shares. The IPO subscription period opens on September 26, 2024, and closes on September 30, 2024. The price band is set between ₹102 and ₹108 per share, with the minimum lot size being 1,200 shares.

Retail investors will need to invest a minimum of ₹1,29,600, while high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) must invest in at least two lots, amounting to ₹2,59,200. The allotment date for the IPO is expected to be October 1, 2024, and the shares will list on the NSE SME exchange on October 4, 2024.

Hem Securities Limited is the lead manager, and Bigshare Services Pvt Ltd is the registrar for the issue. Forge Auto International manufactures complex, safety-critical, forged, and precision-machined components for the auto industry, as well as non-auto sectors like agriculture and railways.

Industry Outlook:

  1. By 2025, India is expected to sell 4 million electric vehicles (EVs) annually, reaching 10 million by 2030, with the market projected to hit US$ 206 billion. This growing demand for EV components will create significant opportunities for Forge Auto International Limited.
  2. With India's push to reduce dependence on imported auto components, domestic manufacturers are likely to experience increased demand. The Indian auto component industry, which grew 32.8% to ₹5.6 lakh crore in FY23, is expected to become the third-largest globally by 2025.

The company plans to allocate the net proceeds from the issuance to the following purposes:

  1. To raise funds to meet the company's working capital requirements, ensuring smooth operations.
  2. A portion of the proceeds will be used to repay certain borrowings, reducing the company's debt and improving its financial stability.
  3. The remaining funds will be allocated towards general corporate purposes.
