The Net Proceeds from the fresh issue will be utilized for managing working capital and for corporate expenses. The company has announced the launch of its SME IPO on BSE SME scheduled between 14th February 2019 to 20th February 2019.

Kranti has a well-diversified product portfolio as it supplies parts for electric vehicles, tractors, commercial vehicles, passenger vehicles, construction machineries, off highway and two wheelers. The company is planning to expand its capacity by entering into a joint venture with KGK group Rajkot.

Considering multiple industry growth factors like India becoming a global component sourcing hub for automotive parts from across the world for their operations, improved product development capabilities through in-depth R&D, higher investment in road infrastructure, a booming working population and middle-class income to drive the market, it is speculated that the IPO of Kranti Industries Limited will experience a heavy over subscription from the word go.

Adding further positivity to the automotive parts sector are policies such as Automotive Mission Plan 2016-26, which will enable faster adoption and manufacturing of Electric Hybrid Vehicles. Initiatives like NMEM 2020 are also likely to infuse growth in the overall auto component sector of India.

Kranti Industries was recently awarded as the ‘Best Company of the Year’ in India 2018 under the category of Precision Machined Components Manufacturer by Beginup Research Intelligence Private Ltd.
