  • The company intends to use IPO proceeds for repayment of debt of around Rs 48 core, financing the project cost for establishment of a new manufacturing facility in Telangana and upgradation of the existing manufacturing facility.

  • Over the next five years, the private sector will receive the mandate for majority of upcoming space missions of ISRO which is positive for MTAR.
  • MTAR will start manufacturing Hydrogen boxes and electrolyzers for Bloom Energy, which happens to be a key player in fuel cell technology.

  • I intend to apply in MTAR Technologies IPO. The MTAR Technologies Limited IPO though expensive seems to have merits and some signs of evolving to a strong player in some key segments. Further company has demonstrated strong revenue and improved margins in the last few years.
