Adroit Industries’ First Public Listing
Madhya Pradesh‑based auto‑parts manufacturer Adroit Industries, which specialises in propeller shafts and precision‑machined torque‑transmission components, has announced its initial public offering (IPO). The company will list on the mainboard of the National Stock Exchange on 30 September 2026, joining a cohort of six new listings that week.
Pricing and Share Allocation
The price band is set at ₹126‑134 per share, which would value the company at the upper end of ₹600.4 cr. The issue comprises 1.12 cr equity shares: 98.97 lakh fresh shares worth ₹132.6 cr and an offer‑for‑sale of 13.5 lakh shares by promoter Mukesh Sangla HUF, valued at ₹18.09 cr.
Adroit has earmarked 50 % of the shares for qualified institutional buyers, 15 % for non‑institutional investors and the remaining 35 % for retail investors. Retail bids must be in multiples of 111 shares, with a minimum investment of ₹14,874 and a maximum of ₹1,93,362.
Use of Proceeds
The company plans to deploy ₹53.7 cr of the fresh‑issue proceeds to purchase machinery and equipment for its Dewas and Pithampur plants, and to buy a vehicle for inter‑facility transport. An additional ₹20.2 cr will be used to repay debt of its subsidiary Adroit Driveshafts. The balance will support general corporate purposes.
Financial Performance and Market Position
Adroit’s revenue rose 4.9 % to ₹127.1 cr in the year ended March 2026, largely driven by exports which accounted for 95.4 % of sales. The firm competes with listed peers such as Hindustan Hardy, Talbros Engineering and GNA Axles.

Investor Takeaway

What to Watch
Market reaction to the pricing will be key, as will the final allotment figures. Investors should also monitor how the company integrates the raised capital into its expansion plans and whether it can maintain its export‑heavy revenue mix in a competitive sector.
