As of January 29, 2026, the GMP for Msafe Equipments is around ₹22.
Listing Expectation: This indicates a potential listing price of ₹145, a gain of approximately 18% over the upper price band.
Valuation: The post-issue P/E ratio is roughly 11.95x (based on FY26 annualized earnings). This is considered attractive compared to the sector average, though investors should note the industry is highly fragmented.
7. Conclusion: Safety First, Growth Second
Msafe Equipments is riding the wave of India's infrastructure boom (National Infrastructure Pipeline). While the business is cyclical and lacks long-term customer contracts, its dual-income model (Sales + Rental) and asset-heavy focus provide a solid foundation.
