Key IPO Details & Timetable

Important Note for Investors

• Strong Financial Growth: The company has shown impressive financial momentum, with its Profit After Tax (PAT) doubling from ₹4.02 crore in FY24 to ₹8.31 crore in FY25.

• Infrastructure Advantage: Avana specializes in high-voltage panels (11 kV to 220 kV), catering to a growing demand in India's power grid expansion and renewable energy sectors.

• Expansion Risk: A significant portion of the funds is dedicated to a new manufacturing unit. Any delays in the completion of this civil construction could impact projected growth timelines.

• Customer Concentration: Like many SME engineering firms, a large portion of revenue comes from government utilities and EPC contractors; changes in government power policies could affect future order books.
