At the upper price band of Rs 182 per share, the company is valued at a P/E of 19.1x based on its FY26 earnings and EV/EBITDA of 14.47x, implying a post-issue market capitalisation of approximately Rs 16,004 million. Its integrated façade capabilities, growing international presence, marquee customer base and backward integration into glass processing provide visibility for long-term growth. However, considering the proposed valuation relative to its listed peer, the IPO appears fairly valued and thus, we issue a “Subscribe: Long Term” recommendation.
