Lumino Industries IPO Draws Subscribe Calls Despite Customer Risks
Lumino Industries is selling shares to the public for the first time.
Investors can apply at a price between ₹78 and ₹82 per share.
The company makes power-related products and also builds power infrastructure projects.
It had orders worth about ₹3,150 crore as of March 2026.
Lumino plans to use much of the new money to repay loans.
Several brokerages think the company is growing and that the IPO price is reasonable.
Shares have traded above the IPO price in the unofficial grey market, but this does not guarantee a strong listing.
A major risk is that many customers are government departments or public-sector companies, which can make payments and orders uneven.
Lumino Industries’ ₹700 crore IPO is priced at ₹78–₹82 per share, with bidding scheduled from 27 August to 31 August.
The issue includes a ₹500 crore fresh share sale and an offer for sale of up to ₹200 crore by promoters.
The company reported a ₹3,150 crore order book as of March 2026 and operates in conductors, power cables and EPC projects.
Grey-market premiums were reported between ₹46 and ₹60, implying estimated listing gains of about 61%–67%, though GMP is unofficial.
Brokerages broadly recommended subscribing, citing growth, valuation and debt reduction, while warning about dependence on government and PSU customers.
