About the Company

Particulars FY2026 (₹ crores) FY2025 (₹ crores) FY2024 (₹ crores)
Revenue from Operations 30.85 21.43 20.10
Total Revenue 31.07 21.61 20.33
Profit Before Tax 9.23 4.37 4.11
Total Profit 5.86 3.11 3.00

Objects of the Issue

  • Funding capital expenditure requirement towards purchase of reach stackers: ₹25.00 crores
  • General Corporate Purposes: ₹5.04 crores

Risk Factors

  • High Customer Concentration Risk: Top 5 customers represented 97.79% of revenue in FY2026.
  • Dependence on Third-Party Service Providers: Payments to third parties were 47.13% of revenue in FY2026.
  • Missing Historical Corporate Records: Issues with tracing historical board minutes and statutory filings.

Will the lack of interest from QIBs and NIIs on Day 1 signal a potential under-subscription risk that could lead to the IPO being withdrawn or repriced?

How might Apana Logistics' heavy reliance on its top five customers (97.79% of revenue) impact investor confidence given the current weak subscription trends?

Could the significant gap between the issue size range (₹24-50 crores) and the capital expenditure needs influence the final allotment strategy if demand remains low?
