Omnitech Engineering IPO Explained: Order Book, Exports, Risks, and Valuation – What Matters

Omnitech Engineering makes super‑exact custom metal parts and assemblies (many parts joined together) that are used inside high‑stakes machines where a small failure can stop a big project. The ₹583 crore IPO opens Feb 25-27 at ₹216-₹227.

In this explainer, we’ll break down how Omnitech earns money, where the IPO cash will be used, what the key strengths and risks are, how it stacks up against peers, and whether the valuation looks fair for a medium-to-long-term investor.

How Omnitech Engineering Makes Money

• Make-to-order “critical” components: Customers share designs; Omnitech manufactures custom parts that must be extremely accurate and reliable (think “the exact puzzle piece” for complex machines). This is why they can serve demanding sectors like energy, automation, and industrial equipment.
• Global selling with a strong export mix: A big share of revenue comes from overseas markets, which can help when global demand is strong and the rupee is weak, but it also means global slowdowns can hit orders faster. This export-led model is a core part of the story investors are buying into.
• Repeat-order engine: Repeat customers contribute a very large share of revenue (the “same buyers returning again”), which usually means trust and steady follow‑up orders. But it can also hide concentration risk if too much depends on a few names.

Objectives of the IPO

• Build new manufacturing facilities (capex): A large part of the fresh issue (₹233.55 crore) is planned for two new projects/facilities in Rajkot (Proposed Facility 1 and 2). In simple words, this is money for buildings + machines so the company can produce more and ship more.
• Debt repayment: ₹50 crore is earmarked to repay borrowings. This matters because lower debt usually means lower interest cost, and more profit can stay inside the business instead of going to banks.
• Upgrade an existing facility: Part of the proceeds (₹18.69 crore) is planned for capital expenditure at an existing facility (Existing Facility 2). This is typically spent on improving equipment and efficiency, so quality stays consistent while volumes scale up.
• General corporate purposes: The remaining amount will go to general corporate needs (day‑to‑day business and flexibility).

Strengths:

• Strong profitability and high return ratios: In FY25, ROE was 21.55% and ROCE was 16.08%. That means the company made about ₹21.55 profit for every ₹100 of shareholder money, and about ₹16.08 operating profit for every ₹100 of total capital used, a good signs for a manufacturing business.
• Fast growth vs peers (FY25): Revenue growth was 92.45% in FY25, the fastest in its peer set. In simple words, sales almost doubled in one year, which supports the “scale-up” narrative, if it stays consistent and doesn’t come at the cost of cash flow.
• Clear use of IPO funds tied to expansion and balance-sheet comfort: The objects are specific; new facilities, debt repayment, and capex upgrades, so the story isn’t vague. If execution goes well, capacity expansion plus lower interest burden can support the next growth phase.

Risks:

• High leverage (debt load): Debt-to-equity was around 1.60-1.65x, meaning roughly ₹1.6-₹1.65 of debt for every ₹1 of equity. In a weak industrial cycle, this can pressure profits because interest and repayments don’t “pause.”
• Cash getting stuck for a long time (working-capital cycle): The working-capital cycle was 282-283 days. That means money spent on materials and production can take around 9 months to come back as cash collections, which can force the company to borrow more to keep growing.
• Concentration and external dependency risk: Top customers (top 10 customers made up 47.87% of revenue) and top geographies (North America contributed 59.24% of revenue) can heavily influence outcomes for export manufacturers; if a key customer delays orders or a major market slows, growth can drop suddenly. This risk is worth extra attention because it can hit both revenue and cash flow.

Peer Comparison

Source: RHP, internal calculation

• Operating Revenue: Omnitech’s operating revenue of ₹342.91 crore puts it kind of in the middle of its peer set. It’s ahead of Unimech Aerospace (₹242.93 crore) and PTC Industries (₹308.07 crore), but it’s still far behind the big player here, Dynamatic Technologies at ₹1,403.80 crore.
• EBITDA Margin: On operating performance, Omnitech looks strong. Its EBITDA margin is 34.31%, which ranks third, behind Unimech Aerospace (37.90%) and Azad Engineering (35.27%). It also beats MTAR Technologies and Dynamatic Technologies by a wide margin, which suggests Omnitech runs a pretty efficient shop.
• Profit: In terms of absolute profit, it’s not a leader yet. At ₹ 43.87 crore, Omnitech is the second lowest in the group, just a touch higher than Dynamatic Technologies (₹43.04 crore), and well below the top earner, Azad Engineering (₹86.53 crore).
• P/E Ratio: Valuation-wise, Omnitech looks the most “reasonably priced” in this list. It has the lowest P/E (Price-to-Earnings - how much investors are paying for every ₹1 of profit) at 50.53x, which is a big discount compared to names like PTC Industries trading at 428.48x.
• Return on Equity: This is where Omnitech really stands out. It leads the peer group with a Return on Equity (ROE - profit generated for every ₹1 of shareholder money) of 21.55%, which is almost double the next best, Unimech Aerospace at 12.48%.

IPO Valuation

At the IPO pricing, the valuation discussion is centered around a post‑IPO P/E of 50.53x. A P/E of 50 means investors are paying about ₹50 for every ₹1 of profit the company made in the last year, so the market is expecting strong growth ahead, not just steady performance. Peer P/E numbers can look very high in this niche, so “50x vs peers” may not look extreme on paper, but the better question is practical: can Omnitech convert its growth and order pipeline into steady cash, while keeping debt and working-capital stress under control? If execution stays strong and leverage improves after the IPO objects are met, the valuation can feel more reasonable; if cash stays tight, “premium pricing” can start pinching.

Disclaimer: The P/E ratio here is calculated using the company’s post-IPO equity and its annualized H1 FY26 net profits.

Analyst View

This IPO reads like a strong execution story: sharp FY25 growth plus a clear expansion plan, and the issue is structured to fund capacity and reduce debt. But it also carries the classic manufacturing pressure points - high leverage (debt/equity 1.6x) and a long working-capital cycle (283 days), which can keep cash tight even when profits look healthy.

At 50.53x P/E, the pricing looks like it is already assuming the company will keep growing and improve cash conversion, so the “margin of safety” is not very large. If you are a well-informed, medium-to-long term investor, this can be a candidate for tracking and measured allocation, provided you are comfortable with export-cycle ups and downs, and you monitor customer concentration and cash flows closely.
