IPO dates: May 21-23, 2025IPO price: Rs85-90Issue size: Upto Rs2,150 croreImplied market cap: Upto Rs8,009 croreFace value: Rs5Lot size: 166Retail portion: 35%Pune headquartered Belrise Industries, an auto ancillary company, plans to raise Rs2,150 crore through a fresh issue of equity to repay partial debt. The promoter group's stake will fall to 73% after the IPO from 100%. Its product portfolio consists of automotive sheet metal & casting parts, polymer components, suspension & mirror systems. Its recent acquisition of H-One India is likely to improve the product portfolio. However, its operating margin before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA margin) has been declining since the past two years. The debt-equity ratio at around one is higher than 0.1-0.4 for some of the peers. It is expected to reduce after the IPO, which in turn may bring down interest expenses. Though the IPO valuation is cheaper than peers, investors may wait to see improved financial performance after listing.Incorporated in 1996, Belrise Industries specializes in component manufacturing for automotive & white goods industries. It has also started delivering e-mobility components & subsystems. As of March 31, 2025, the company operated 17 manufacturing facilities across 10 cities in nine states across India. As of December 31, 2024, the company serviced 29 original equipment makers (OEMs) globally. Exports contributed 25% to revenue in the nine months to December. In March 2025, Belrise acquired H-One India, a subsidiary of Japan's H-One Company, to enhance capabilities in metal stamping and fabrication for 4-Wheelers. The company plans to expand the distribution network to over 150 points across India within the next 2 years.Revenue grew by 18% annually to Rs7,484 crore between FY22 and FY24 while net profit rose by 9% to Rs311 crore. EBITDA margin declined gradually from 14.2% in FY22 to 12.5% in FY24. In the nine-months to December 2024, revenue grew by a modest 1% to Rs6,013.4 crore while net profit reduced by 17% to Rs245.5 crore due to higher finance cost and higher deferred tax credit in the year-ago period. EBITDA margin remained constant at 12.8%.Considering the post-IPO equity and annualised net profit for the nine months to December 2024, the company demands a price-earnings (P/E) multiple of upto 24 compared with P/Es between 42 and 80 for peers including Motherson Sumi Wiring India Minda Corporation and JBM Auto

Petronet Q1 Results: Net profit falls 25%, to invest Rs 6,355 crore in new LNG terminal
Petronet LNG Ltd, India's largest gas importer, on Friday reported a 25 per cent drop in its June quarter net profit, and said it will invest Rs 6,355 crore in setting up a new import facility at Odisha. ADVERTISEMENT Net profit of Rs 850.58 crore in April-June was lower than Rs 1,141.58 crore last year, mainly because of lower volumes imported due to a fall in power demand on early arrival of monsoon. The firm's Dahej liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in Gujarat imported 207 trillion BTUs (British thermal unit) as compared to 248 TBtus in April-June 2024, its chief executive, A K Singh, told reporters on an earnings call. Overall, the company processed 220 TBTUs in April-June - the first quarter of the current 2025-26 fiscal - as opposed to 262 TBTUs last year. "LNG throughput in Q1 is lower than corresponding quarter mainly because there was a severe power requirement (in April-June 2024) which necessitated substantial LNG imports," he said, adding this year early and severe monsoon rains lower demand for electricity, and hence reduced demand for LNG (which is used to generate power). There were also shutdowns of fertiliser plants in the quarter, he said. ADVERTISEMENT He said the Dahej terminal operated at 92 per cent capacity in Q1 as compared to best ever utilisation of 110 per cent in the same period last year. On the demand outlook, he said city gas volumes have picked up and so is the demand by the petrochemical sector. ADVERTISEMENT In the second quarter (July-September), the Dahej is back to near 100 per cent capacity operation, he said. Singh said the company board has also accorded in-principle additional investment approval for setting up of a 5 million tonnes a year land-based LNG terminal at Gopalpur. This is in place of earlier approval of 4 million-tonne Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) based LNG terminal for an incremental project cost of Rs 4,048.80 crore. ADVERTISEMENT The overall approved value of the project is Rs 6,354.80 crore (including taxes and duties), he said, adding it would take three years to construct the facility. Besides Dahej, Petronet also has a 5 million tonnes a year import terminal at Kochi in Kerala, but it operates at less than a quarter of its capacity because of a lack of pipelines to take imported fuel to customers. ADVERTISEMENT While the capital expenditure has increased - from Rs 2,300 crore for a floated import unit (called FSRU) to Rs 6,354.80 crore land-based fixed terminal, the operating expenses (opex) have substantially reduced to Rs 450-500 crore, he said. The decision to shift to a land-based terminal was also taken because of the tight market for FSRUs in view of European countries using them to import gas in place of the volumes they used to receive from Russia.

10 year yield spikes amid a decline in bets on August rate cut
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel Yields of the 10-year benchmark government security spiked six basis points to 6.37% on Friday, before softening slightly and closing at 6.34%.The spike in yields came after the central bank governor said price stability will be the primary concern for the central bank amid cooling retail inflation, despite Mint Road winning the 'battle' against 10-year yield had closed at 6.31% the previous day.A section of the market started pricing in another rate cut in August after India's retail inflation, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI), hit a six-year low of 2.1%, data released on July 14 change in expectations of the rate cut trajectory also impacted auction of the 10 year paper conducted on Friday, pushing prices below 100 at 99.95, with cut off yield at 6.33%. The auction was for Rs 30,000 crores'When people are not positive about the rate cut next month, why would someone hold the security, they would want to sell,' said a bond trader at a primary dealership. 'There were quite a few people who had priced in a cut in the August policy, but after the interview, markets were not very positive about it,' the trader said.'The battle against inflation is won, but war continues,' RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra said at a banking summit organised by the newspaper in Mumbai on Friday. 'Our primary objective is to maintain price stability and we have mentioned that it is not inconsistent with the other objectives we have of growth because that is a prerequisite.'This comes just a few days before the monetary policy committee (MPC) is set to announce its rate decision on August 6. During the last MPC meet, the repo rate was reduced by a larger-than-expected 50 basis points to 5.50%'The rates went up because the market was anyway long, and those positions increased after the inflation data. Maybe because inflation was lower, markets thought that the RBI would be more open to further rate cuts in August. The governor today did not say anything different, but maintained what he has said in his previous encounters,' said a senior bond trader at another primary dealership.
