Pranav Constructions IPO Opens With 35% Potential Listing Gain
Pranav Constructions is selling shares to the public through an IPO.
The IPO is worth about ₹351 crore and is open from September 7 to September 9.
Each share costs between ₹118 and ₹124.
A retail investor must buy at least 120 shares.
The unofficial grey market suggests the shares could list around ₹168, but this is not guaranteed.
The company plans to use much of the money for Mumbai redevelopment projects and related costs.
Some analysts like its growth and project pipeline.
Others note that it depends heavily on Mumbai and faces execution and regulatory risks.
Pranav Constructions’ ₹351 crore IPO is open from September 7 to September 9 at ₹118–₹124 per share.
The issue includes a ₹315.6 crore fresh issue and an offer for sale of 28.57 lakh shares by BioUrja India Infra.
The grey-market premium is reported at ₹44, implying an indicative listing price of ₹168, or 35.48% above the upper price band.
Retail investors must bid for at least 120 shares, requiring ₹14,880 at the upper price; bids must be in multiples of 120.

Business prospects
Positive investment case
Brokerages highlighted Pranav Constructions’ presence in Mumbai’s Western suburbs, its asset-light redevelopment model, project pipeline and the city’s redevelopment opportunity.
Risks and reservations
The company has high dependence on a single geographic market, while project execution and regulatory approvals could affect performance.

Positive investment case
Analysts cited revenue and profit-after-tax compound annual growth rates of about 30% and 34%, respectively, between FY24 and FY26, along with an improved EBITDA margin of 17.2%.
Risks and reservations
Past growth and margin improvement do not eliminate the risks associated with executing 65 projects and obtaining required approvals.
IPO recommendation

Swastika Investmart and Kantilal Chhaganlal Securities recommended subscribing, citing potential listing gains and suitability for medium- to long-term investors.
