Upcoming IPO: Rachit Prints gets nod from BSE SME to raise funds via public offer

Rachit Prints, a Meerut-based specialty fabric maker, on Wednesday said it has received in-principle approval from the BSE SME exchange to raise around ₹19.5 crore through initial public offering.

The company had filed its draft red herring prospectus with BSE SME in December 2024, and is now in the process of submitting the red herring prospectus with updated financials, it said.

The Initial Public Offering (IPO) is entirely a fresh issue of up to 13.08 lakh equity shares with a face value of ₹10 each, aiming to raise approximately ₹19.50 crore through the book-building route.

The net proceeds will be utilised with ₹9.50 crore allocated for working capital requirements, ₹4.40 crore for business expansion (including capital expenditure for plant and machinery), ₹1.32 crore for partial prepayment of term loans, and the remaining funds for general corporate purposes.

Rachit Prints manufactures a range of knitted and printed fabrics used in the mattress industry and operates under a business-to-business (B2B) model.

It has supply agreements in place with key players such as Sheela Foam Ltd, the maker of Sleepwell mattresses, and Kurlon Enterprise Ltd. It also supplies products to Prime Comfort Products.

Founded in 2003, the company reported a revenue of ₹9.8 crore with a profit after tax (PAT) of ₹1.03 crore in Q1 FY25. It posted ₹37.08 crore in revenue and a PAT of ₹2.03 crore in FY24.
