| FY 2023 | 80.46% | 98.71% | 100.00% |
The company proposes to use Rs. 932.50 lakhs for purchase of machinery, but the RHP states that orders had not been placed as of the RHP date.
The company depends on yarn and related raw materials. Any increase in yarn prices without matching selling price increase can reduce margins.
Top 10 suppliers contributed 58.88% of purchases for the period ended November 30, 2025 and 56.24% in FY 2025.
Top 10 customers contributed 83.31% of revenue for the period ended November 30, 2025 and 78.62% in FY 2025.
The company does not have long-term contracts with major customers and mainly operates on purchase orders.
The company reported negative operating cash flow in FY 2025 and for the period ended November 30, 2025.
Net working capital increased to Rs. 1,187.88 lakhs as at November 30, 2025.
The RHP mentions promoter group entities and proprietary concerns operating in similar lines of business, along with potential conflict-of-interest risks.
The registered office and factory premises are not owned by the company and are taken on lease, including from promoter/promoter group members.
The business is seasonal due to festive and wedding demand. Also, SME IPOs can have lower liquidity and higher volatility than mainboard IPOs.
Harikanta Overseas Ltd is a textile fabric manufacturing company from Surat with focus on synthetic textile fabrics used mainly in women’s wear, sarees, dress materials and kurtas.
The positive side is that the company has shown strong improvement in financial performance. Revenue from operations increased from Rs. 1,111.22 lakhs in FY 2024 to Rs. 3,517.30 lakhs in FY 2025. PAT also increased from Rs. 81.98 lakhs in FY 2024 to Rs. 446.80 lakhs in FY 2025. For the period ended November 30, 2025, the company reported PAT of Rs. 508.58 lakhs, which is already higher than FY 2025 full-year PAT.
The company also reported total capacity utilisation of 92.57% in FY 2025. High utilisation may support the company’s decision to add new machinery, including rapier looms, high-speed air-jet looms and shuttleless rapier looms.
The IPO structure is also important. This is a pure Fresh Issue with no Offer for Sale. This means the money raised from the IPO will come into the company and can be used for business growth, working capital and other stated objects.
However, retail investors should not look only at revenue and PAT growth. The biggest concern is customer concentration. Top 10 customers contributed 83.31% of revenue for the period ended November 30, 2025 and 78.62% in FY 2025.
The second concern is cash flow. The company reported negative operating cash flow in FY 2025 and for the period ended November 30, 2025. Trade receivables increased sharply to Rs. 1,311.30 lakhs as at November 30, 2025. For a manufacturing company, profit should eventually convert into cash.
The third concern is working capital. Textile business needs money for yarn, inventory, production and receivables. If receivables remain high or inventory increases, more funds may be required.
Overall, Harikanta Overseas is a growing textile fabric manufacturing SME IPO with improved revenue, improved profitability and high FY 2025 capacity utilisation. However, investors should carefully study customer concentration, supplier concentration, negative operating cash flow, working capital pressure, machinery execution risk, related party arrangements and SME listing risk before making any IPO decision.
