The last day of bidding witnessed a remarkable subscription. Current Infraprojects IPO was 352 times while Sattva Engineering IPO was not far behind with 184 times subscription. The two issues have attracted a considerable amount of money from retail, institutional and high net-worth investors, which speaks about the strong sectoral interest that infrastructure and EPC stocks have drawn.
Current Infraprojects: EPC-led Growth Powers a Quality Initiative
Current Infraprojects Ltd. of Rajasthan is a rapidly developing company supplying “Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Services” (EPC). With expertise in power solar, electrical infrastructure, water management, and civil EPC contracts, the company sets up the trend of installing megaprojects in India and abroad.
The bidding window for the on-the-floor public issue of ₹41.8 crores made by the company was open from August 26–29, 2025, and it received an enormous response within the bidding window. The retail portion of the IPO, in terms of subscriptions and demand, went very coolly, being 352.48 times subscribed overall. Shares worth ₹5.73 crores were allotted through IPO worth ₹41.8 crores, making it one of the top 10 SME IPOs in the last few years.
The company offered a total of 52.25 lakh equity shares within a price range of ₹76–₹80 per share, of which 14.52 lakh anchor shares worth ₹11.62 crore were allotted prior to opening the issue.
Meaning of utilization of IPO proceeds
The company has clearly communicated its fund allocation strategy:
- As a demonstration of the RESCO product, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad (Jharkhand) will host a solar power generation project with a capacity of 1800 kW. The required budget is ₹5.85 crore.
- ₹30 crore out of the total will be used for working capital requirements, making sure there is enough money for the existing and new contracts.
- The rest will be for general corporate purposes, among which technology adoption and project expansion are mentioned.
The well thought-out strategy shows Current Infraprojects is not only focusing on bolstering its financial base, but is also on growing its renewable energy horizon which is the fastest-growing sector in India’s infrastructural landscape.
Sattva Engineering: Upbeat Investors Show Confidence

Practically, the company is now working on large water conservation, irrigation, and urban infrastructure projects, all of which relate closely to India’s increasing quest for water security solutions.

Allocation of Funds
Sattva Engineering will utilize the IPO proceeds as per the following plan:
- ₹27.5 crore to be used for long-term working capital needs that are more than necessary to be able to handle the company’s multiple projects at the same time.
- The rest will be aimed at supporting the day-to-day activities and corporate plans (including maintenance and growth) of the company.
