PREFACE:
The company came with its maiden IPO for mobilizing Rs. 5.17 cr. at a price of Rs. 24 per share in September 2016. Hem Securities Ltd. had a mandate at that time. Now the company is having a self-managed RI issue at a fancy price. Its price movements in the last year indicate that the RI is greedily priced.
