Mumbai – Vigor Plast India, a Gujarat-based manufacturer specializing in CPVC, uPVC, and PVC pipes and fittings, is entering the public markets with its upcoming SME IPO. The company’s Initial Public Offering opens for subscription from September 4 to September 9, 2025, and will be listed on the NSE EMERGE platform.

IPO Structure and Financial Strategy

The IPO comprises a fresh issue of approximately 24.99 lakh equity shares alongside an offer-for-sale of up to 6 lakh shares by promoter shareholders, including members of the Kathiriya family. This brings the total shares on offer to around 31 lakh, aggregating to a yet-to-be-announced issue size.

Proceeds from the fresh issuance will be utilized to:

Repay secured borrowings,
Finance construction of a new warehouse in Ahmedabad,
Support general corporate purposes such as working capital and expansion.

The official IPO structure targets a distribution where Institutional Investors (QIBs) may receive up to 50%, Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) not less than 15%, and Retail Investors not less than 35% of the total.

Company Financial Performance

For the fiscal year ending March 2025, Vigor Plast reported:

Revenue: ₹46.02 crore (up from ₹42.52 crore in 2024),
Profit After Tax: ₹5.15 crore (compared to ₹2.93 crore in 2024).

The company’s ROE stands at an impressive 59%, ROCE at 28%, and EBITDA margin at 26.5%, highlighting its efficient operations and strong financial health. The debt-to-equity ratio improved significantly to 1.39, reflecting better capital structure and reduced leverage.

Company Background and Manufacturing Footprint

Established in 2014, Vigor Plast began as a trader in PVC pipes and fittings. It has since expanded its operations to include manufacturing facilities and five warehouses in Gujarat, located in Jamnagar, Rajkot, Surat, and Ahmedabad. The company serves plumbing, irrigation, and waste management segments and has earned multiple quality certifications from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Its authorized capital and transformation from private to public limited status were formalized in late 2024. The company’s promoter and founding Kathiriya family plays a central role in the governance and execution of this public offering.

Subscription Timeline and Listing Schedule

The Vigor Plast IPO follows this critical schedule:

Subscription Window: September 4 – September 9, 2025
Allotment Finalization: September 10, 2025
Refund Initiation: September 11, 2025
Shares Credited to Demat Accounts: September 11, 2025
IPO Listing: September 12, 2025 on NSE EMERGE

IPO Significance and Market Context

As an SME IPO, Vigor Plast is seeking to tap into capital markets to fuel expansion and deliver shareholder value. Its focus on repayment of debt and capacity enhancement reflects a disciplined use of capital.

In the growing plastics and construction sector in India, Vigor competes with listed peers such as Captain Pipes and Dutron Polymers. However, its strong financial metrics, elevated margins, and regional presence position it well in the SME category for investor consideration.

Analysts and brokerage houses view the IPO as a potential long-term investment, given the company’s improved profitability, steady revenue growth, and strategic expansion drive.

Investment Considerations

Strengths: A solid profitability record, strong ROE and EBITDA margins, cleaner balance sheet, and existing manufacturing-network infrastructure.
Risks: Being a first-time issuer, it lacks listed track record, making valuation transparency critical. The SME framework also typically features lower liquidity.
Market Sentiment: Early sentiment is guided by financial stability and clear capital use plans. Success will depend on effective outreach and performance post listing.

Next Steps for Investors

Investors interested in Vigor Plast’s offering can apply through standard ASBA routes—via bank net-banking or UPI—under retail, HNI, and institutional categories. Tracking peer valuations and expected price band disclosures, once announced, will be key to informed decision-making.
