Having it's headquarter at Mumbai; it operates from major business metros and also has office at Maldives.

Capital Market, both primary and secondary segments, plays a vital role in economic development because of its linkages with the banking systems and investment communities globally. The vibrancy of capital market comes from its volume and varieties of trades of financial instruments, its liquidity and ability to raise capital by attracting fresh investments, which are derivatives of sound investor confidence and transparency. CARE is committed to play a key role by providing professional, insightful and independent informed opinion through various grading and rating services, which can serve as a valuable input to build investor confidence. Its credit rating across the spectrum of financial world helps the investors to effectively monitor and manage investments based on their respective risk-return policies. On the other hand, it imparts the issuers with financial flexibility for wider access to funds at a market-determined cost related to their credit risk. It can also provide a helping hand for establishing business relationships (including collaborations) and awarding contracts to the counter parties.

CARE's grading products viz IPO Grading and Equi-Grade have proved to be valuable means for primary and secondary market development respectively. IPO Grading, through its opinion on fundamentals, works as one of the important inputs to form long-term equity investment decision for public offerings. On the other hand, the investor community can have an unbiased and analytical opinion on the fundamentals and valuations of any listed entity through Equi-Grade product.

For the regulators, CARE's rating services facilitate in determining the eligibility criteria and entry barriers for different types of securities, to monitor financial soundness of borrowers and to promote overall efficiency in the debt market. Its Equi-Grade product can also be useful to the stock exchanges for investor education and improve liquidity in the secondary market. Thus, services of CARE increase the transparency, leading to a healthy development of the capital market.

To meet the listing requirements, its existing stakeholders are offering for sale 7199700 equity shares of Rs. 10 each within a price band of Rs. 700-750. Entire corpus will go to the existing stakeholders only as equity post this issue remains at Rs. 28.55 crore. It has issued bonus shares in the ratio of 18 for 100 in March 2010 and in the ratio of 2 for 1 in September 2011. Issue opens for subscription on 07.12.12 and will close on 11.12.12. Minimum application is to be made for 20 shares and in multiples thereof, thereafter. SEBI has exempted the company from obtaining IPO grading. The shares will be listed on BSE and NSE.

Kotak Mahindra Capital, DSP Merrill Lynch, Edelweiss Financial, ICICI Securities, IDBI Capital Market and SBI Capital Market are the BRLMs and Karvy Computershare is the registrar to the issue.

As per available date on a IPO web (chittorgarh.com) for BRLMs mandate of past IPOs respectively, the first number represents the issues managed and the figure in bracket indicates the issues failed to gave listing gains. Kotak Mahindra - 46 (13), DSP Merrill - 12 (4), Edelweiss - 19 (5), ICICI Securities -25 (11), IDBI Capital -16 (8) and SBI Cap- 22 (8).


Conclusion / Investment Strategy

Issue is worth considering for investment.

Reviewer recommends Subscribing to the issue.
