Bengaluru-based Indo-MIM Limited, the world’s largest player in metal injection molding (MIM), has filed draft papers with SEBI to raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO). The issue will comprise a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 1,000 crore along with an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 12.97 crore equity shares by existing investors. The company may also consider a pre-IPO placement of up to Rs 200 crore, which would reduce the size of the fresh issue.
According to the draft prospectus, net proceeds from the fresh issue will be used mainly to repay and prepay borrowings, while the balance will be deployed towards general corporate purposes. The company will not receive any proceeds from the OFS.
Founded in 1996, Indo-MIM has emerged as a global leader in metal injection molding, investment casting, precision machining and additive manufacturing (3D printing). It operates large-scale facilities in Bengaluru, Tirupati and the United States and its customer base spans across aerospace, automotive, medical devices, consumer goods and defence.
According to the DRHP, revenue from operations increased 16 percent year-on-year to Rs 3,329.6 crore in FY25, from Rs 2,870.4 crore in FY24. In FY23, the company posted revenue of Rs 2,692.8 crore, a 24 percent growth over the period.
The company is promoted by Green Meadows Investments Ltd, Krishna Chivukula, Krishna Chivukula Jr., Raj Chivukula and Jagadamba Chandrasekhar. As part of the OFS, promoter entities and institutional shareholders including the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras will pare part of their holdings.
Industry experts see strong growth prospects for the MIM space, according to the DRHP. A Frost & Sullivan report projects that the global MIM market will expand from $3.7 billion in 2024 to $5.6 billion by 2029, driven by rising demand from the automotive, aerospace, defence and medical device industries.
Kotak Mahindra Capital, ICICI Securities, HDFC Bank, Axis Capital and SBI Capital Markets are the book running lead managers to the issue. The equity shares are proposed to be listed on both BSE and NSE.
