How we rate these
  • Valuation: P/E at the top of the band: up to 25x good, up to 40x watch, above that concern.
  • Growth: Sales growth per year: 20% or more good, 8% or more watch, below that concern.
  • Profitability: Net profit margin: 10% or more good, 4% or more watch, below that concern. The trend note compares operating margin with the year before (1.5 points either way).
  • Debt: Borrowings / net worth: up to 0.5x good, up to 1.5x watch, above that concern.
  • Profit into cash: Cash from operations as a share of net profit: 80% or more good, 40% or more watch, below that (or negative) concern.
  • One-off income: Other and one-off income as a share of pre-tax profit: up to 10% good, up to 30% watch, above that concern. Any one-off item management itself describes moves "good" to "watch".
  • Where the money goes: Offer for sale as a share of the whole issue: under 40% good, under 75% watch, above that concern. In an offer for sale the money goes to the selling shareholders, not the company.
  • Red flags: Earlier web look-ups of the filing's claims: any high-concern finding is concern, any medium is watch, otherwise good.

Rules are rules of thumb, not a verdict: a fast-growing business can reasonably carry a higher P/E, and some sectors run on debt.

Starting rate 13%: the cost of equity for the industry group Capital Markets, September 2026. It is the 10-year government bond yield of 7.41% less India's default spread of 1.87%, plus beta 1.05 from 34 listed companies times an equity risk premium of 7.08%. The yield is from Investing.com, India 10-year bond yield (historical data page); the premium is from Damodaran, Country Default Spreads and Risk Premiums (NYU Stern). Change the rate above to test other views.

Starts from FY26 cash from operations of ₹53 Cr, grown 20% a year (based on revenue growth FY24–FY26, capped at 20%) and discounted at 13% a year, with no value counted beyond year 10. A simple illustration from the filing's numbers, not a forecast or investment advice; small changes to the rate or growth move the answer a lot.

The short version

Start here. The story in a few minutes, with every fact tied to the page it came from.

The timeline for the India Exposition Mart IPO raises immediate red flags: draft papers were filed with SEBI, but crucial documentation—specifically the FSSAI License for the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts—is conspicuously missing.

AI-written summary of India Exposition Mart Limited's filings. Verify against the source documents.

Bottom line

In summary, our investigation into the INDIA EXPOSITION MART IPO revealed several concerning aspects, including a fragmented share issuance history and critical dependency on a single exhibition venue for revenue. Furthermore, we uncovered pending tax disputes, cheque dishonour complaints, and questionable related party payments that demand closer scrutiny. These findings paint a complex picture regarding the company's structure and operational stability.

Red flags from earlier look-ups

For this filing we looked up selected claims (promoters, court cases, subsidiaries) on the open web earlier. We no longer check what a filing says; SEBI reviews it.

  • MediumSubsidiary

    Royal Estcon Private Limited

    70% confidence
    What the filing says

    The hospitality unit executed a Management Services Agreement with Royal Estcon Private Limited dated May 5, 2026, for sales, marketing, and management services.

    What we found

    Search results corroborate the general relationship between India Expo Mart Limited (IEML) and Royal Estcon Pvt. Ltd., noting that IEML units have signed management agreements with Royal Estcon to operate properties. However, the search results do not specify the exact date of the agreement mentioned in the claim (May 5, 2026) and instead refer to agreements for operating new properties.

    What we found

    The search results confirm that India Exposition Mart has filed draft IPO papers with SEBI, with some articles dated around August 2026, which is close to the claimed application date. However, the search results do not specifically mention an application for an FSSAI License for Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH) at the specified address.

    What we found

    The search results show mentions of 'Shree Kunj Bihariji Infracon' and related entities, including projects developed by them in Greater Noida, which is relevant to the claim about a lease agreement. However, none of the results specifically confirm or deny a long lease agreement dated May 10, 2024, with M/s Shree Kunj Biharji Infracon Private Limited for leasing commercial units.

What could go wrong, per the company

Risk factors

The risks the company is legally required to disclose, in its own words.

pp. 29–76

Investors should be aware that the business faces several material risks, primarily stemming from its reliance on a single exhibition venue and the concentration of its revenue streams. Risks include potential disruptions to the venue, dependency on third-party service providers, and the concentration of revenue in third-party events. Furthermore, the business is subject to risks related to the terms of its long-term leasehold agreements and the potential actions of the lessor, Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA).

Key points (184, showing 60)

  • The business is substantially dependent on the India Expo Centre and Mart, which is the sole large-format exhibition venue, and any disruption to its operations could have a material adverse effect. p.30
  • Any adverse event affecting the India Expo Centre and Mart, such as structural damage, fire, flooding, power failure, utility disruption, regulatory enforcement action, lockdown or restriction on mass gatherings, civil disturbance, or loss of key operating licences could result in the cancellation or postponement of multiple events, leading to loss of licence fee income and ancillary revenues. p.30
  • The India Expo Centre and Mart is currently operated on a leasehold basis. p.30
  • The company's revenue from operations is concentrated in the Third-Party Events vertical, which accounted for 56.44% of revenue in Fiscal 2026. p.31
  • The revenue from the Third-Party Events vertical is not protected by long-term or exclusive commitments from event organisers, meaning organizers may choose to host events at competing venues or reduce their scale or frequency. p.31
