Annu Projects Ltd. is launching an initial public offering with a price band set between ₹94 and ₹99 per share [1].
The offering allows the company to secure critical funding for growth. By transitioning to a public entity, Annu Projects aims to modernize its operations and stabilize its liquid assets to meet increasing demand.
The total issue size is valued at ₹175.06 crore [3]. According to company filings, the proceeds from the IPO will be used to purchase new machinery, and meet various working-capital requirements [3]. This capital injection is intended to support the company's broader growth plans and operational scaling.
Subscription for the shares opens today, Aug. 25, 2024, and will remain open until Aug. 28, 2024 [2]. The company completed the anchor allocation process on Aug. 24, 2024 [1]. Investors can expect a tentative listing date of Sept. 2, 2024 [2].
Shares of Annu Projects Ltd. will be listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in India [2]. Despite the upcoming launch, the gross market potential, or GMP, is currently reported as zero [3].
The pricing strategy and the dual-listing approach indicate a move to maximize visibility among Indian retail and institutional investors. The focus on machinery suggests the company is prioritizing physical capacity expansion over debt repayment or acquisitions.

The launch of this IPO indicates that Annu Projects Ltd. is seeking to shift from private funding to public equity to fuel industrial expansion. While the zero GMP suggests a lack of immediate speculative momentum in the grey market, the dual listing on the BSE and NSE provides the company with maximum liquidity and exposure to the Indian market.
