Sotefin Bharat Limited has scheduled its Initial Public Offering (IPO) to open on July 16, 2026, and close on July 20, 2026. The Kolkata-based company, which specializes in mechanised and automated parking solutions, aims to raise ₹68.30 crore through a fresh issue of equity shares.

The company has demonstrated significant financial growth, with revenue from operations increasing from ₹56.28 crore in FY2024 to ₹116.75 crore in FY2026.

Despite this profitability, the company reported negative cash flows from operating activities of ₹6.86 crore in FY2026, attributed primarily to higher trade receivables from government customers.

Operational Highlights and Risks
Sotefin Bharat operates on a turnkey project delivery model, integrating advanced automated parking technologies. As of 31-Mar-2026, the company had completed over 55 projects and was executing more than 30 projects across India and international markets, including the United States and Dubai. It maintains a technology partnership with Sotefin SA, Switzerland. The company reported an order book of ₹53,439.85 lakhs (₹534.40 crore) as of 31-Mar-2026.
However, the DRHP highlights several material risk factors. The company exhibits high customer concentration, with the top 10 customers contributing 91.77% of revenue in FY2026. Additionally, there is a significant dependence on its Swiss technology partner, Sotefin SA, which accounted for 50.40% of total purchases in FY2026. The industry is described as highly competitive and fragmented with low barriers to entry.
