Annu Projects IPO Opens Amid Mixed Broker Views
Annu Projects is a company that builds and maintains utility infrastructure.
Its IPO opened for investors today.
The company works in telecom, sewerage and gas pipelines.
Some brokerages like the IPO because the company has grown quickly and has many orders to complete.
Other analysts are more careful because the company depends heavily on some customers and government contracts.
They are also concerned that money may remain tied up in the business for a long time.
The IPO money will help buy equipment and support daily operations.
The shares are expected to list on both BSE and NSE on September 2.
Its grey market premium suggests only a small possible gain when the shares list.
Annu Projects’ IPO opened with a price valuation of 19.6 times FY26 earnings at the upper band.
BP Equities and Ventura recommended subscribing, while SBI Securities assigned a neutral rating.
The company plans to use IPO proceeds for machinery, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Annu Projects reported FY26 revenue of Rs 244.59 crore and net profit of Rs 33.03 crore.
Grey market premium stood at Rs 2-4 per share, implying a potential 2-4% listing gain.

Quotes
SBI Securities
Brokerage that assigned a neutral IPO rating
“However, high customer concentration, dependence on government contracts and a stretched working capital cycle raise concerns around the quality and durability of earnings. We therefore assign a 'neutral' rating to the IPO and would prefer to monitor cash-flow generation and execution consistency post listing”
