Valuation and IPO rating:
* An across-the-board spike in energy demand is cementing the role of reliable backup power, such as DG sets, as a cornerstone for business continuity in both established and high-growth industries. Moreover, as record power peak demand puts unprecedented strain on the national grid, the shift toward localized backup systems has become essential for power-heavy sectors like IT, Telecom, and EV infrastructure. India’s rapid industrialization and digital transformation are direct catalysts for this DG market expansion. Powerica is perfectly aligned to capture this momentum with its efficient power portfolio, already drawing 12-13% of its revenue from the high-velocity data center segment.
* At a higher price band of Rs. 395, the company is demanding pre & postmoney P/E multiple of 27.2x and 31.7x, which is at discount to the peer average. However, with almost debt-free operations resulting from the utilization of IPO funds, the demand pre & post-money P/E multiple comes out to around 23x and 26x, respectively, which we feel is attractive for a company delivering essential power solutions and services. Thus we assign a “SUBSCRIBE” rating for the issue.
