🌾 Indogulf Cropsciences IPO: Will This Agrochemical Stock Fertilize Your Portfolio or Just Dilute It?

At a Glance

Indogulf Cropsciences Ltd, a 30-year-old agrochemical company, is going public with a ₹200 Cr IPO—₹160 Cr fresh issue + ₹40 Cr OFS. While the government wants to double farmer income, this company is focused on doubling its EBITDA margins. But with a P/E of 24.27x and post-issue dilution of over 27%, are we buying growth… or just fertilizer fumes?

Facilities:
