Karbonsteel Engineering IPO Review
 by Paresh Gordhandas, CA & Research Analyst
Business Profile:
Established in 2011, Karbonsteel Engineering Ltd. provides engineering and fabrication solutions including heavy steel fabricated structures, precision components, steel bridges, and pre-engineered buildings (PEBs). It operates two manufacturing facilities in Gujarat & Maharashtra with an installed capacity of 32,400 MT per annum.
Financial Performance (Rs. Cr):
-
Revenue: Rs.155.89 (FY23) → Rs.218.77 (FY24) → Rs.273.91 (FY25)
-
PAT: Rs.5.11 (FY23) → Rs.9.42 (FY24) → Rs.14.16 (FY25)
-
EBITDA: Rs.16.22 (FY23) → Rs.25.79 (FY24) → Rs.36.61 (FY25)
-
Net Worth: Rs.28.74 (FY23) → Rs.43.80 (FY24) → Rs.60.37 (FY25)
-
Borrowings: Rs.48.52 (FY23) → Rs.59.83 (FY24) → Rs.78.55 (FY25)
Key Observations:
-
Growth: Revenue CAGR ~32% over FY23-25 with PAT nearly tripled.
-
Margins: EBITDA margin improved to 13.37% in FY25 (vs 10.4% in FY23), thanks to material cost optimization.
-
Balance Sheet:
-
Reserves have grown to Rs.49.27 cr.
-
Cash balance healthy at Rs.10.51 cr.
-
Receivables at Rs.60.50 cr = ~2.6 months’ sales → reasonable for EPC/fabrication industry.
-
Inventory at Rs.11.63 cr = ~15 days’ sales → efficient.
-
-
Risk Factor: Leverage remains high; debt-equity ~1.3x. Sustained growth will require careful working capital management.
Verdict:
Karbonsteel shows robust growth, improved margins, and efficient inventory management. Debt level is the main concern, but strong demand in steel structures/infra supports prospects. If IPO pricing is in line with peers, it can be considered a good medium-to-long-term investment.

Retail minimum: 2 lots = 1,600 shares = ₹2,54,400 (upper price).
