JB Ecotex Files DRHP for Rs 400 Crore IPO
JB Ecotex wants to sell shares to the public through an IPO.
It has submitted an IPO document called a draft red herring prospectus to SEBI.
The IPO may include Rs 400 crore of new shares and the sale of 1.29 crore existing shares.
The company may first raise up to Rs 80 crore through a pre-IPO placement.
Most of the new money, or Rs 320 crore, would be used to repay debt.
The remaining money would support general business needs such as expansion, marketing and capital spending.
JB Ecotex makes recycled materials from plastic bottles.
Its revenue and profit increased in FY26 compared with FY25.
However, the company says it faces risks because it relies heavily on one product and on the domestic market.
JB Ecotex has filed its draft red herring prospectus with SEBI for an IPO comprising a Rs 400 crore fresh issue and an OFS of 1.29 crore shares.
The company may consider a pre-IPO placement of up to Rs 80 crore, which could reduce the fresh issue size.
JB Ecotex plans to use Rs 320 crore from the fresh issue to repay or pre-pay debt raised by the company and its subsidiaries.
The company reported FY26 revenue of Rs 827.6 crore and restated profit of Rs 22.4 crore, up from Rs 716.2 crore and Rs 20.5 crore respectively in FY25.
The company faces risks linked to RPSF revenue dependence, raw-material sourcing, domestic-market concentration, facility shutdowns and regulatory approvals.
