SRM Contractors Limited has successfully utilized the entire proceeds of its Initial Public Offer (IPO), aggregating to Rs. 130.20 crore, as of March 31, 2026. The Monitoring Agency Report submitted by CARE Ratings Limited confirms that the deployment of funds aligns with the objects specified in the offer document, marking the conclusion of the monitoring period for the IPO proceeds.
The company had raised capital through an IPO conducted between March 26, 2024, and March 28, 2024. The funds were originally allocated across various heads, including capital expenditure for equipment, working capital requirements, repayment of borrowings, and general corporate purposes. Following shareholder approval obtained during the Annual General Meeting on September 29, 2025, the company revised the cost of objects and reallocated a portion of the proceeds from capital expenditure to investments in joint ventures, associates, and subsidiaries.
Utilization of Proceeds
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (Q4FY26), the company utilized the remaining balance of funds. A significant portion of the general corporate purpose allocation was directed towards an investment in a Joint Venture project known as the SRM Rajinder Project, based on a board resolution passed on March 2, 2026. The final deployment ensured that the total unutilized amount stood at zero by the end of the quarter.
The following table details the utilization of the IPO proceeds across various object heads:
