CMR Green Technologies is one of India's largest non-ferrous metal recyclers. According to its red herring prospectus, citing an ICRA report, the company was the largest player in India's secondary aluminium market by revenue among its peers in FY25.
The company also enjoys a significant scale advantage, with installed capacity nearly four times that of its closest domestic competitor in the recycled aluminium segment.
Its product portfolio includes recycled aluminium alloys in ingot and liquid form, zinc alloy ingots, dross, and furnace-ready scrap of stainless steel, copper, brass, zinc, lead and magnesium, among other products.
Stay tuned for live updates on subscription numbers, GMP trends and key developments from Day 2 of the CMR Green Technologies IPO.
CMR Green Technologies IPO was subscribed 9.59 times at the end of the second day of bidding. QIB segment was booked 3.45 times, NII portion 21.80 times, retail at 7.91 times and the employee section at 6.79 times.
At the upper price, the issue is valued at a P/E multiple of 21.3x based on FY26E earnings, which is lower compared to its peers. Considering its leadership position in the recycled metals industry, strong operational capabilities, improving financial performance, and attractive valuation, we recommend a “SUBSCRIBE” rating from a mediumto long-term perspective.
The recycled aluminium market in India reached a value of $5bn and a volume of 2,164 thousand tons in FY25, growing at a CAGR of 17% in value and 11% in volume during FY20–FY25. The market is expected to continue expanding at a CAGR of 13% in value and 11% in volume through FY30E, reaching $9 billion and 3,715 thousand tons.
This growth is driven by rising environmental awareness, energy efficiency benefits, and increasing demand. Further expansion will be supported by favorable policies, rising costs of primary aluminium, and decarbonization initiatives (Source: IMARC, ICRA Analysis).
At the upper price band of ₹192, CGTL is valued at ~27x FY25 P/E and ~19x annualized FY26 P/E (post-issue), which appears fairly priced relative to peers, considering inherent risks such as margin volatility and commodity exposure. However, as the largest player by capacity, the company is well positioned to benefit from strong industry tailwinds, supported by its scale, market leadership, and ability to cater to growing demand. Hence, we recommend a “Subscribe” rating for a medium to long term.

One of the critical factors in the metal recycling business is the ability to source metal scrap. Due to the low availability of aluminium scrap in India, CGTL procures scrap from around 198 global suppliers from 73 countries including US, UK, New Zealand, etc. Given the increasing global consumption of metal-intensive products globally, combined with rapid urbanization and growing emphasis on circular economy, the outlook for scrap availability remains optimistic
CGTL derives majority of its revenue from the automotive industry where it held an estimated market share of ~42%-45% in the cast alloys segment during FY25. Its customers primarily include OEMs like Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj Auto, etc., & Tier 1 suppliers such as Rockman Industries, Craftsman Automation, etc.
