Should you Invest?
The company’s total income rose 15% to ₹308 crore in the year ended March 2019 and it has posted a net loss of ₹18 crore against loss of ₹4 crore on the back of high finance cost of ₹36 crore. The company had also reported the loss of Rs.0.5 crores for FY 15. The company had produced 10 lakh quintals of sugar last year and is carrying an inventory of 5 lakh quintals.
Moreover, there is no revenue growth in the last 5 years and the company has incurred losses for 3 years out of the last 5 financial years. In addition, 70% is Offer for sale, therefore the company would not get any major benefit from this IPO.
The investors may “avoid” Vishwaraj Sugar Industries IPO. You may prefer IRCTC IPO over this.
