The subscription window for Msafe Equipments Limited is currently open on the BSE SME platform and will conclude tomorrow, Friday, January 30, 2026. The IPO features a price band of ₹116 to ₹123 per share.

Important Note for Investors
Strategic Expansion: Nearly ₹32.26 crore of the proceeds are earmarked for a new manufacturing facility in Mathura, UP. This will allow the company to enter the "hanging scaffolding" segment, a high-growth niche for skyscrapers and industrial plants.
Valuation Advantage: At the upper price band, the IPO is priced at a P/E of 15.12x (Pre-IPO) and roughly 11.95x (Post-IPO). Compared to industry peers like Technocraft Industries (trading at 19-20x), the issue appears attractively priced for growth.
Stellar Returns: The company reported a Return on Equity (ROE) of 67.97% for FY25, which is exceptionally high for a manufacturing business, indicating very efficient use of shareholder capital.
Sector Tailwinds: With the Indian government's focus on the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and stricter workplace safety norms, Msafe's products (ladders, FRP scaffoldings, and platforms) are in high structural demand.
Customer Loyalty: Msafe catered to over 2,500 customers in FY25, showcasing a well-diversified client base that reduces the risk of being overly dependent on any single project or contractor.
