The issue is priced with a P/BV ratio of 7.71 times, calculated using its Net Asset Value (NAV) of Rs 28.53 as of March 31, 2024. At the upper price cap, it is priced at a P/BV ratio of 2.83 times, considering its post-IPO NAV.

When we calculate the PE ratio for the company by considering the FY24 earnings relative to the fully diluted paid-up equity capital, the resulting PE ratio stands at 25.

The company stated that there are no listed companies in India operating a business similar to theirs, making it impossible to provide a comparison of the industry's key performance indicators with those of the company.

However, the valuation is justified by the company's strong growth performance and the potential for attractive returns.

The industry's future looks promising, fuelled by several key factors. The increasing demand for energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions aligns with global sustainability goals, driving innovation and investment. Additionally, advancements in technology, such as smart HVAC systems and environmentally friendly refrigerants, are enhancing product offerings and operational efficiency. Urbanization and the growth of infrastructure projects are further propelling demand for HVAC and refrigeration systems in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Therefore, we recommend subscribing to the issue with a long-term investment outlook for its promising growth prospects.
