Jamnagar (Gujarat) [India], September 3: In a significant move to fuel its growth and enhance manufacturing capabilities, Krupalu Metals Limited, a key player in the brass and copper industry, has announced its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the SME platform of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE SME). The IPO, a fixed-price issue aiming to raise ₹1,347.84 lakhs, will be open for subscription from September 8, 2025, to September 10, 2025.
The company’s decision to go public underscores its ambition to scale operations and meet the rising demand for its specialized metal products. The funds generated from the IPO are earmarked for crucial strategic investments, primarily focusing on capital expenditure for new plant and machinery and fulfilling the company’s working capital requirements. This strategic infusion of capital will allow Krupalu Metals to broaden its product portfolio to include new dimensions of brass and copper sheets and to increase production of value-added components like cutting inserts, bus bars, and electrical parts.
A Journey of Growth and Excellence
Founded in 2009 by the visionary Mr. Jagdish Parsottambhai Katariya, Krupalu Metals has evolved from Krupalu Engineering Services Private Limited into a recognized name in the brass and copper sector. Located in Jamnagar, Gujarat—famously known as the “Brass City of India”—the company leverages its strategic location and a 10,532 sq. ft. manufacturing facility to serve a diverse client base across India and internationally.
Over the past decade, Krupalu Metals has established a strong presence by manufacturing and supplying high-quality brass and copper sheets, strips, and custom-engineered components for the electrical, construction, automotive, and engineering industries. The company’s commitment to quality is further validated by its ISO 9001:2015 certification.
Strong Financial Performance
Krupalu Metals has demonstrated a consistent track record of financial performance, with notable growth over the last three years. The company’s restated financials highlight a robust upward trajectory:
- Total revenue surged from ₹3,357.94 lakhs in FY 2023 to ₹4,849.59 lakhs in FY 2025, reflecting strong market demand and operational efficiency.
- Profit After Tax (PAT) witnessed a remarkable increase from ₹41.85 lakhs to ₹215.09 lakhs during the same period.
- The company’s profitability also improved, with the EBITDA margin rising from 3.20% to 7.65%, and a healthy Return on Net Worth (RoNW) of 35.12% in FY 2025.
These figures underscore the company’s financial discipline and its ability to generate significant returns for its stakeholders.
