Kay Jay Forgings Files Draft Red Herring Prospectus for ₹360 Crore IPO

Kay Jay Forgings, a B2B precision engineering firm, has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO). The proposed offering includes a new issue of equity shares totaling up to ₹300 crore, along with an offer for sale (OFS) of up to ₹60 crore from current shareholders.

The company plans to use the net proceeds from the new issue for capital expenditures and reducing debt. Of this, ₹118.8 crore is intended for establishing a new forging facility, a machining facility, and a solar power plant, while ₹90.51 crore will be allocated to the repayment or prepayment of specific loans. The remaining funds will be set aside for general corporate purposes. The company might explore a pre-IPO placement of as much as ₹40 crore, in discussion with the book running lead manager, and if it proceeds, the amount of the fresh issue will be adjusted accordingly.

PL Capital Limited is serving as the exclusive book running lead manager for the issue. Kay Jay Forgings is a B2B precision engineering firm that specializes in the production of machined components, primarily serving original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry, as well as a few non-automotive sectors like agricultural machinery, mining equipment, and electronic home appliances.
