Kanohar Electricals IPO Review
- Kanohar Electricals (KANOHAR IN) , a Meerut based transformer and EPC company, opens its INR 1,055.74 crore IPO on September 8, 2026, priced at INR 601–632 a share.
- The company has grown revenue 2.4x in two years on the back of a 500 MVA, 400kV order from Power Grid, but customer concentration and capacity utilisation remain watch points.
- IPO looks aggressively priced as compared to other listed company in similar space.
TCS (TCS IN) Vs Infosys (INFO IN): IT Giants Hit Pair Trade Trigger
- Context: The Tata Consultancy Services (TCS IN) vs. Infosys (INFO IN) price ratio has deviated more than two standard deviations from its one-year average, presenting a potential relative value opportunity.
- Highlight: Going long Infosys Ltd (INFO IN) and short Tata Consultancy Services (TCS IN) targets a 3% return.
- Why Read: Essential for quantitative traders seeking mean-reversion opportunities, with detailed execution framework, risk management protocols, and historical simulation showing the statistical basis for this relative value play.
Dev Accelerator (DEVX IN): Q1 FY27 Headline Weakness Masks a Much Bigger Pipeline
- Reported revenue misleads, the 3.2% consolidated dip reflects lumpy one-time Needle & Thread design revenue lapping. Core standalone managed office business grew 7.8% with margins and PBT up sharply.
- DevX operates 1.13 msf against a 3.63 msf signed portfolio at 92% occupancy. FY27 re-rating depends entirely on disciplined execution of that pipeline
- DevX trades at 5.1x EV/EBITDA versus 8-10x for larger rivals. The discount reflects scale and Ahmedabad concentration risk.
Karamtara Engineering Ltd (6589452Z IN): Synthetic Expert Call Transcript (09 Sep 2026)
- Vertical Integration Moat: Karamtara Engineering Ltd’s (KEL) competitive edge is anchored by its massive captive hot-dip galvanizing capacity of 276,800 MTPA and two in-house rolling mills. This integration saves ₹4,000 to ₹6,000 per ton in outsourced processing and logistics costs, allowing KEL to deliver tracker structures to US developers in 8 to 10 weeks—nearly half the lead time of pure-play domestic US or Chinese fabricators.
- High US Export Concentration Risk: While KEL commands a dominant position, 34.48% of its FY26 revenue (amounting to ₹1,487.00 Cr) is directly exposed to the US utility-scale solar market. Although KEL successfully passed through ₹577.00 Cr of cost-neutral US tariff-related expenditures to customers in FY26, this concentration exposes the firm to severe downside if the US Department of Commerce initiates anti-dumping investigations into Indian solar steel.
- Deleveraging as a Key PAT Catalyst: KEL is utilizing ₹600.00 Cr of its ₹675.00 Cr fresh IPO proceeds to prepay outstanding borrowings. This 58% reduction in its ₹1,030.13 Cr debt stack will generate ₹55.00 Cr to ₹65.00 Cr in annual interest savings, immediately expanding net margins from its FY26 base of 5.30% and reinforcing its 23.27% ROCE.

Aequitas: Mahanadi Coalfields Limited Pre-IPO Tearsheet
- Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (0808507D IN)(MCL) plans to raise around US$1.1bn in its upcoming India IPO. The deal will be run by Axis, IIFL, SBI Caps, IDBI Cap and BoB Cap.
- MCL produces various grades of non-coking coal, including washed/beneficiated coal, serving power utilities, captive plants, IPPs, cement manufacturers, and sponge iron industries.
- As per CRISIL, MCL was India’s largest coal producer in FY26, producing 218.3m tonnes and accounting for approximately 22.4% of India’s total non-coking coal production.
Rentmojo Ltd (RMJL IN): Synthetic Expert Call Transcript (09 Sep 2026)
- Rentomojo’s reported FY26 net profit of INR 104.30 crore is optically inflated by a one-time deferred tax credit of INR 36.60 crore. Stripping this out reveals a normalized PAT of roughly INR 67.70 crore; while still demonstrating a robust 57.04% YoY growth from INR 43.11 crore in FY25, public market investors must evaluate the business on this normalized base rather than the headline 142% surge.
- The competitive landscape has narrowed dramatically as Furlenco has effectively closed the revenue gap under Sheela Foam’s ownership, reporting INR 370.43 crore in FY26 revenue compared to Rentomojo’s INR 386.99 crore. Furlenco’s plans to file its DRHP by December 2026 for a Q1 2027 IPO will split public investor attention and challenge Rentomojo’s sole-proxy status in the rental economy.
- Rentomojo’s 10-year straight-line depreciation model for physical assets is aggressively out of step with actual tenant wear-and-tear. Real-world furniture assets typically reach commercial retirement in 5 to 6 years, which exposes the company to potential accelerated write-down shocks if salvage values fall below the 10% book assumption.
