CMR Green Technologies IPO: Key Details
The Rs 630.88 crore IPO was entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of 32.86 million equity shares. Since the issue did not include a fresh issue component, the company will not receive any proceeds from the public offering. The selling shareholders include promoter Mohan Agarwal, promoter group entities Gauri Shankar Agarwala HUF and Mohan Agarwal HUF, and investor shareholder Global Scrap Processors Limited.
The IPO opened for subscription on June 3 and closed on June 5. The basis of allotment was finalised on June 8. The issue was priced at the upper end of the price band at Rs 192 per share against a price band of Rs 182-192 per share.
Investors could bid for a minimum of 78 shares, requiring an investment of Rs 14,976 at the upper price band. The issue also reserved 1,43,678 shares for eligible employees, who received a discount of Rs 18 per share.
The IPO was managed by Equirus Capital, ICICI Securities and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors, while KFin Technologies served as the registrar.
As the issue was entirely an OFS, the primary objective was to provide an exit and partial monetisation opportunity to existing shareholders.

CMR Green Technologies: Key Risks Investors Should Know
According to the red herring prospectus (RHP), CMR Green Technologies depends heavily on demand from the automotive sector, which contributes a large share of its business. Any slowdown in vehicle production or weaker demand from major customers could affect growth.
The company is also exposed to fluctuations in metal scrap prices and foreign exchange rates, which can impact margins. In addition, its operations require significant working capital.
Another risk is the availability of scrap metal, a key raw material for the business. Any disruption in supply or a sharp rise in procurement costs could affect production and profitability.
