Financial Performance
In recent fiscal years, Ameenji Rubber has shown moderate but steady growth. According to filings, the company reported revenue of approximately ₹84.24 crore in FY24, up from ~₹74.21 crore in FY23. Profit After Tax (PAT) also increased from ~₹3.50 crore in FY23 to ~₹4.31 crore in FY24. The EBITDA margin stood at ~19-20% as of FY25 estimates, which is reasonably healthy for an SME in rubber product manufacturing.
Return on Equity (ROE) is high (above 40% in recent years) due to relatively low net asset base, and operational leverage in product lines. However, profit growth is not dramatic in absolute numbers, which calls for realistic expectations by investors.
Use of IPO Proceeds
- Capital Expenditure: Modernization of existing machinery and procurement of new machinery for new product line—Conveyor Belting Unit. A portion of funds is earmarked for this. [approx ₹14.9 crore]
0 - Debt Repayment / Prepayment: Around ₹5 crore to reduce borrowings and improve financial stability.
1 - General Corporate Purposes: The rest of the funds will be used for working capital and other general purposes to support growth.

Strengths & Competitive Advantages
- Regulatory Approvals: Presence of RDSO, MoRTH approvals, NABL accreditation—this strengthens credibility, especially when supplying for infrastructure/railways.
3 - Export Exposure: Company exports to multiple countries and has US-based subsidiary; this provides foreign revenue diversification.
4 - Product Diversity: Rubber products line for infrastructure (bridge bearings, expansion joints, etc.), which often have higher margin / specialized demand.
5 - Healthy Margins: EBITDA margins near 20%, PAT margins moderate but improving.
6
Risks & Challenges
- High Entry Cost for Retail Investors: Minimum application of 1,200 shares, and retail minimum of 2 lots (2,400 shares) can be ₹2,40,000 at upper band—that’s steep.
7 - Rubber Raw Material Volatility: Prices of raw rubber, synthetic rubber, and inputs can fluctuate widely affecting margins.
logical inference - SME Listing Liquidity Risk: SME listed shares often have lower trading volumes and may see wider spreads.
general market behavior, but caution needed by IPO Behaviour patterns. - Competition & Pricing Pressure: Domestic competition, regulatory compliance costs, export duties/tariffs can squeeze profitability.
logical inference
Peer Comparison & Valuation
At the upper price band of ₹100, the IPO values the issue at ~P/E multiple of FY24 expected earnings. Given its revenue base (~₹84-90 crore) and PAT of ~₹4-5 crore, P/E likely in range of ~22-25× depending on investor expectations. Compared to peers in infrastructure materials or rubber engineering which may trade at higher or lower multiples depending on scale, this is moderately priced.
In GMPRadar’s past SME IPOs like Sampat Aluminium IPO and L&T Elevator IPO, investors saw that pricing tends to factor in margin risk and growth potential. Ameenji Rubber follows a similar structure.
GMP & Market Sentiment
Currently, reports suggest Grey Market Premium (GMP) is flat or close to zero, implying that market isn’t aggressively pricing in listing gains at this stage. That could be cautious investor sentiment.
8
Sentiment among infrastructure-focused SME IPOs has been mixed; some investors prefer companies with bigger balance sheets or more visible demand. That said, the specialized nature of Ameenji’s products (bridge bearings, expansion joints) gives it certain niche strength.
Investment View & Strategy
For long-term potential, Ameenji Rubber seems reasonably positioned. The regulatory approvals (RDSO, MoRTH) and certification (NABL) act as strong entry barriers. For IPO Investors, this could be more of a value play rather than a fast listing gain play given GMP is not strong yet.
Risk-aware investors could consider applying for 1 lot (1,200 shares) or 2 lots depending on cash availability and risk appetite. If subscription picks up significantly in final days, there may be some listing upside, but profits will depend heavily on execution of modernization, cost control, and maintaining export demand.
Conclusion
Ameenji Rubber Ltd IPO offers a blend of strengths: niche product portfolio, regulatory validation, export exposure, and decent financials. However, high minimum investment, SME liquidity concerns, and raw material volatility are non-trivial risks. If you are comfortable with these and believe in infrastructure/railways growth, this IPO can merit consideration, particularly for investors oriented toward long-term returns rather than quick flips.
