CMR Green Technologies IPO was booked 2.46 times as of the first day of bidding. NII portion received most bids at 5.67 times, followed by retail segment at 2.45 times and QIBs at 0.03 times.
Although revenue from sale of goods increased 14.6% YoY to ₹53,874.56 million in FY25, the company continues to operate with relatively low margins due to its hedging strategy. Extensive use of forward contracts to manage commodity price volatility may restrict upside benefits from favorable aluminium price movements, thereby limiting margin expansion despite higher production volumes and improved realizations.
India's largest non-ferrous metal recycler with the highest secondary aluminium market share and an installed capacity nearly four times that of its nearest domestic competitor, making it a preferred partner for major OEMs.
The Indian recycled aluminium market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% in value and 11.2% in volume during FY26-FY30, providing significant growth opportunities.
The brokerage has a ‘May Apply’ rating.
CMR Green Technologies IPO was fully subscribed on the first day of the bidding process amid strong NII and retail demand, as their portions were booked 2.18 times and 1.22 times, respectively.
The employee quota was subscribed 1.93 times, while the QIB segment received 0.01 times bids.
As of 9MFY26, the company’s top 5/top 3 customers contributed ~32.5%/20.9% to the total revenue. Thus, the loss of any of these customers may adversely affect the company’s business.
As of March 31, 2026, the total manufacturing capacity was 4,70,300 MTPA aluminium alloys, 8,400 MTPA zinc alloys, and 136,450 MTPA for other metals, totalling 6,15,150 MTPA of overall capacity.
On the valuation front, based on annualized FY26 earnings, the company is seeking a P/E of 19.7 x times, and a post-issue market capitalization of approximately ₹42,059 million, making the issue appears to be fairly priced. However, the pure OFS nature (promoters exiting) and the sharp FY24 loss are concerns over limited margin of safety. Overall, CMR Green is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing shift toward sustainable metal recycling, supported by market leadership, scale advantages, product diversification, and favorable industry dynamics. Hence, we assign a Subscribe-long-term rating for the issue.

According to the RHP, it is among the largest aluminium recyclers by installed capacity and has joint ventures with global partners, which support its manufacturing and recycling operations.
The proposed issue comprises entirely an Offer for Sale (OFS) aggregating to ₹630.88 crore. This means no proceeds will go to the company. The only objective of the firm is to enjoy the benefit of listing on the exchanges.
Sawstika said that the compnay has the largest capacities among the industry players and enjoys most preferred partner status.
The valuation at 27.13x P/E looks attractive compared to peers, and the FY25 turnaround is encouraging. However, the pure OFS nature (promoters exiting) and the sharp FY24 loss are red flags.
Thin margins and customer concentration make this a high-risk IPO with limited margin of safety. Therefore, we assign a NEUTRAL rating to the CMR Green Tech, the brokerage added.
