The Grey Market Premium (GMP) of the Indobell Insulation IPO is ₹0, suggesting that there are no expected listing gains based on current market conditions. This flat GMP indicates that the market has low interest in the IPO, and it may be priced optimally, with little potential for immediate gains after listing.

- ₹41.00 lakh to fund capital expenditure for the purchase of additional plant and machinery.

Financial Performance and Valuation:
The company has shown a steady growth trajectory in its financial performance:
- Revenues from operations for the period ending September 30, 2024 stood at ₹556.30 lakh, a slight decrease from previous years (₹1,798.57 lakh in FY2023 and ₹2,105.22 lakh in FY2022).
- EBITDA for the period was ₹86.39 lakh, reflecting a decline from earlier years, indicating some pressure on profit margins.
- Profit After Tax (PAT) for the period ended September 30, 2024, was ₹42.39 lakh, continuing the growth trend from previous fiscal years.
Key financial metrics:
- Pre-issue EPS of ₹2.52 and post-issue EPS of ₹1.64 for FY24.
- Pre-issue P/E ratio of 18.25x, and post-issue P/E ratio of 28.06x.
- ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) for FY24 is 28.15%, indicating efficient capital use.
- ROE (Return on Equity) for FY24 is 18.21%, reflecting steady returns on equity.
These metrics suggest that the IPO is fully priced, offering investors limited upside potential.
Investment Recommendation:
While Indobell Insulation Limited shows steady financial growth, the flat GMP and moderate subscription figures suggest that the IPO may not offer significant listing gains. Investors should approach this IPO with caution, as the potential for immediate returns appears low.
Given the fully priced valuation and 0.00% GMP, we recommend that investors avoid the Indobell Insulation IPO if seeking short-term gains. However, it may be considered for long-term investors who believe in the growth potential of the insulation and construction industry.
