The ₹38.05 Crore SME IPO is structured as a combination of a ₹30.45 Crore Fresh Issue and a ₹7.60 Crore Offer for Sale (OFS).

₹8.10 Cr - Funding the purchase of advanced plant machinery, heavy transportation vehicles, and critical operational assets.
₹4.43 Cr - Allocations for routine corporate operations, strategic initiatives, and standard business expenses.

Ajwa Projects Limited enters the BSE SME market backed by its core founding promoters: Mohammad Khurshid Alam Khan, Zarinbegum Khurshid Alam Khan, and Riyaz Rafiq Padela. Prior to the IPO, the promoter group maintained significant control with a highly concentrated 98.90% equity stake. The ₹38.05 Crore offering is a combination of a ₹30.45 Crore Fresh Issue and a ₹7.60 Crore Offer for Sale (OFS). Despite the partial OFS exit, the founders retain substantial skin in the game. Post-issue, the promoter holding will dilute to a comfortable majority stake of 65.12%, ensuring continued alignment with minority shareholders while aggressively leveraging fresh public capital to fund machinery acquisitions and deleverage the balance sheet.

| Ajwa Projects Limited | 11.33 (Post-IPO) | 17.92x | 36.15% |

Ajwa Projects Limited enters the BSE SME platform as a fundamentally strong, highly profitable player in the civil construction, heavy fabrication, and industrial engineering space. The company has demonstrated a consistent and impressive financial trajectory over the last three fiscal years. Driven by a solid order book, Total Income grew steadily from ₹34.38 Crore in FY24 to ₹48.56 Crore in FY26, while Profit After Tax (PAT) expanded from ₹2.95 Crore to a very healthy ₹5.42 Crore. What truly stands out for a capital-heavy construction firm is Ajwa's exceptional capital efficiency. The company boasts an industry-beating Return on Net Worth (RoNW) of 36.15% and a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 34.75%, underpinned by a robust EBITDA margin of 18.66%.
The ₹38.05 Crore offering is a fixed-price issue consisting of a ₹30.45 Crore Fresh Issue and a ₹7.60 Crore Offer for Sale (OFS). Despite the partial OFS, the founding promoters will retain a commanding 65.12% stake post-issue (diluting from a highly concentrated 98.90%). Management's capital allocation strategy is highly accretive: ₹9.35 Crore will be deployed directly to pay down outstanding corporate borrowings, which will rapidly improve their current 0.71x Debt-to-Equity ratio and expand net margins by cutting interest costs. Another ₹8.10 Crore is dedicated to purchasing new plant machinery and transport assets. However, investors must be aware of two key friction points: a massive 81% of the company's revenue is currently heavily concentrated in Gujarat, and the retail entry barrier is exceptionally high, requiring a mandatory minimum investment of ₹2,43,600 for 2 lots (1,200 shares).
From a valuation perspective, the fixed issue price of ₹203 per share leaves decent money on the table for investors. At this price, Ajwa Projects commands a post-issue market capitalization of ₹111.65 Crore. Based on its robust FY26 earnings, the stock is valued at a Post-IPO Price-to-Earnings (P/E) multiple of 17.92x and a Price-to-Book (P/B) ratio of 4.58x. When benchmarked against listed peers like Atmastco Limited (trading at a much higher ~28.17x P/E with a lower 15.52% RoNW), Ajwa Projects is priced at an attractive discount while delivering vastly superior return ratios. Given the company's proven execution capabilities, accretive debt-reduction strategy, and reasonable valuation, we assign a SUBSCRIBE rating for investors who have the capital appetite for the high retail lot size and are comfortable with the regional concentration risks.
