Speaking about this IPO, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi on Tuesday said though it is a small company that caters to consumer adhesives and sealants, what distinguishes this company is that it is a market leader in solvent cement products. The company also offers strong growth outlook due to capacity expansion, said the Market Guru. He said not just that it is also a profit-making company at the operational level.  

Talking of negatives, he said unorganised sector with high competition is one of the disadvantages of the company. It is a small company with volatile margins, he said.  

"Investors who look for opportunities in high risk and high return scenario should apply for this IPO," recommended Singhvi.  

Earlier, the company has offered around 4.6 million shares in the Rs 126 crore issue. The IPO comprises a fresh offer of 4.14 million shares for Rs 113.4 crore and an offer for sale of about 457,000 shares by shareholder Anjana Haresh Motwani aggregating up to Rs 12.5 crore.

As much as 75 percent of the total IPO size has been reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 15 percent for non-institutional bidders, and 10 percent for retail investors.
