IPOVista score
How this issue scores, and why
Every pillar opens to show the raw metric, the curve it was mapped through, the sub-score and its weight. Disagree with the weighting if you like — the arithmetic is all here.
IPOVista score
Balance sheet is the open question
63% of the scoring model was backed by disclosed data for Gabion Technologies, giving medium confidence. Weights for anything missing were redistributed rather than scored as zero.
How this score is builtBelow the line: market sentiment. Capped at 8 of 100 points so a hot grey market can tilt a score but never carry one.
Read this before the number
Leveraged balance sheet
Debt-to-equity of 2.1× leaves limited headroom if demand softens or rates rise.
SME platform listing
SME issues trade in larger lot sizes with thinner volumes than mainboard listings, which makes exiting a position harder.
The IPOVista Score is a transparent summary of disclosed fundamentals and issue terms. It is research, not investment advice, and it cannot predict listing performance.
The company
What the business actually does
Founded 2008 · New Delhi, Delhi, India (registered office: 38, S/F, Near MCD Park, Mohammadpur, New Delhi 110066) · 159 employees
Gabion Technologies India makes steel gabions — mechanically woven double-twisted hexagonal wire mesh baskets filled with rock — along with rockfall protection netting, rockfall barriers, reinforced geomat and high-strength flexible geogrids, at a five-line plant at Puruwala, Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh. It also resells geosynthetics it does not manufacture (nonwoven geotextiles, PET geogrids, jute geotextile, coir mat, anchors, drainage pipes) and takes on works contracts, designing and building retaining walls, slope stabilisation by anchor-mesh system, river training, scour protection and ash-pond lining. Customers are road and railway authorities, power and mining PSUs, airports, defence and private contractors. Since 2008 it has completed 76 work contracts worth Rs 127.61 crore, 36 of them in roads and 12 in railways. Private-sector clients were 64.34% of FY25 revenue.
Three streams. In FY25 manufacturing earned Rs 57.24 crore (57.03% of revenue), works-contract and design services Rs 33.62 crore (33.50%), and trading of bought-in geosynthetics Rs 9.51 crore (9.47%). The input is steel wire — hot-dip galvanised, PVC-coated or zinc-aluminium (Galfan) coated — so margins track steel prices, and 68.07% of FY25 raw-material purchases came from Himachal Pradesh suppliers held under no long-term contract. The five gabion lines ran 8,488 MT of 9,200 MT available in FY25, leaving little headroom. The binding constraint is working capital rather than plant: net working capital need rose from Rs 12.32 crore (FY23) to Rs 47.24 crore at 30 November 2025, borrowings reached Rs 52.05 crore, and 84.50% of net issue proceeds was earmarked for working capital against 4.04% for plant and machinery.

What the issue does to ownership
Share of paid-up equity before and after the offer. The promoters give up 26.5% of the company.
- Promoters
- Everyone else
Hover or focus a segment to see who it is. The two bars are the same company, measured before and after the offer.
Percentages are of paid-up equity, and the “after” column assumes the offer is fully subscribed, which is how the offer document states it. This record does not disclose a pre- and post-issue share count, so the part of the company actually changing hands is not split out — everyone who is not a promoter is shown together.
Demand
What the market is bidding
Subscription is hard exchange data. Grey-market premium is not — it is an unofficial quote, shown because readers want it and labelled because it deserves the label.
Subscription by category
Cumulative bid multiples at the end of day 3. Anchor allocations are excluded.
Hover or focus a category to see who bids in it.
A category subscribed above 1× is oversubscribed; allotment in that category then runs as a lottery or on a proportionate basis.

What an allotment is worth now, before costs
Work it out
What this means for one application
Three calculations, each stating the assumption it rests on.
What one application costs
Shares are applied for in whole lots at the cut-off price. The full amount is blocked in your bank account under ASBA, not debited, until allotment.
- Shares applied for
- 3,200
- At cut-off price
- ₹81.00
- Amount blocked
- ₹2,59,200
One lot is 1600 shares at ₹1,29,600. This issue requires a minimum of 2 lots, so the smallest application is ₹2,59,200. That is how the SME board is built rather than a quirk of this issue: the minimum application is set above the ₹2,00,000 that caps a retail bid on the mainboard — two lots rather than one. The smallest bid here still sits in the individual investors’ category, the one the subscription figures call retail, and when that category is oversubscribed the minimum application is allotted by draw of lots — so the odds beside this apply directly.
Odds of getting an allotment
When the retail category is oversubscribed, SEBI requires a lottery for the minimum lot. Every application has the same chance, whatever its size.
~0.1%
chance of one lot, per application
- Retail subscription
- 867.23×
- Applicants per share available
- 867.2× the retail quota
This is an estimate of a lottery, not a prediction. Actual odds depend on the final basis of allotment, how many applications were at the minimum lot, and rejections for technical reasons. Applying from multiple distinct PANs is the only legitimate way to hold more tickets in that lottery.
What it actually did
This issue has listed, so there is a real number instead of a prediction. The grey-market premium is shown beside it for comparison.

Our read
Easy to misread
Grounded only in figures disclosed in the prospectus. This is analysis, not a recommendation.
Easy to miss in the prospectus
- The financials are restated CONSOLIDATED figures - the company has two foreign subsidiaries, Gabion Technologies BD Limited and Gabion Technology Nepal Private Limited. Standalone borrowings at 31 March 2025 were Rs 42.90 crore against the Rs 46.71 crore consolidated figure shown here.
- FY25 revenue FELL 4.20% year on year (Rs 104.76 Cr to Rs 100.36 Cr) while EBITDA and PAT both rose. The profit growth is margin expansion on a shrinking top line, not volume growth - EBITDA margin went from 12.54% to 14.89%.
