π§ At a Glance
Neetu Yoshi Ltd is a railway casting manufacturer from Uttarakhand, now raising βΉ77 Cr via SME IPO to set up a shiny new plant. With FY24 profits hitting βΉ12.58 Cr (vs βΉ42 lakh in FY23), margins looking buff, and ROCE touching 44% β this IPO is the financial equivalent of a bullet train. But is this foundry’s IPO molten gold or just hot air?
1. π¬ Introduction with Hook
βLohia family, railways, 500 kg castingsβ¦ and βΉ77 Cr from the public. Welcome aboard.β
Neetu Yoshi Ltd sounds like a desi startup name, but this is no SaaS unicorn. It’s a foundry business making brake beams, axle boxes, and coach couplers for Indian Railways β and it’s sprinting to the BSE SME platform with a price band of βΉ71β75.
The jump in profits is massive, the valuation not totally derailed, and the order book implied but never declared. Letβs break it down before FOMO pulls you under the wheels.
