Pune-based automotive component manufacturer Belrise Industries, which plans to raise Rs 2,150 crore via an initial public offering, has filed draft documents with the capital markets regulator SEBI.
The IPO consists solely of fresh issue by the company, with no offer-for-sale component. Thus, the entire issue proceeds, excluding offer expenses, will go to the company.
The auto ancillary company may consider raising Rs 430 crore before its IPO launch. If it successfully concludes the pre-IPO placement, the amount will be reduced from the fresh issue.
The main purpose of the IPO is to reduce the debt burden by Rs 1,618.08 crore (which is 62.52 percent of total borrowings) and improve the debt-equity ratio. The remaining funds will be utilised for general corporate purposes.
Incorporated in 1996, Belrise Industries competes with listed peers like Bharat Forge, Uno Minda, Motherson Sumi Wiring India, JBM Auto, Endurance Technologies, and Minda Corporation. It specialises in precision sheet metal pressing and fabrication - the process of joining sheet metal components to create unified structures for assembling vehicle subsystems and bodies.
