Kent R.O. Systems has filed for an IPO to go public, offering 10% of its shares. The company, known for its water purifiers, vacuum cleaners, and fans, plans to raise funds. The IPO comes after a record number of listings in 2024, with Kent aiming to expand its market presence.
Kent R.O. Systems, a leading manufacturer of water purifiers, has filed its draft papers for an initial public offering (IPO) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The company, founded in 1999 by Mahesh Gupta, also produces vacuum cleaners and fans, and aims to raise funds through the public offering.
As per the draft documents, Mahesh Gupta and his family members will sell 10.1 million shares, which represent a 10% stake in the company. Notably, Kent R.O. will not issue new shares in the IPO, and the proceeds will solely benefit the selling shareholders. Gupta and his family currently hold 99.77% of the company’s shares.
Kent R.O. joins a growing list of companies aiming to debut on the Indian stock market, with 14 firms already having floated IPOs in 2025. This follows a record-breaking year in 2024, where Indian companies raised ₹1.6 lakh crore through IPOs, according to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
For the fiscal year ending March 2024, Kent R.O. reported an 8.7% revenue growth to ₹1,178 crore, though it lags behind its larger rival Eureka Forbes, which recorded ₹2,189 crore in revenue. In the first half of fiscal year 2024-25, Kent posted a revenue of ₹637 crore, with its water purifiers accounting for 85% of the total, and the remainder from its fans and kitchen appliances.
