Risks · 10

• 01The P/E is not stated in the data available to us, so the issue cannot be compared with peers on earnings from here.
• 02Growth has slowed. Total income rose only 10% in FY2026 against 36% the year before.
• 03This is a very small company, with a net worth of Rs 19.58 crore and 60 employees.
• 04Unsaturated Polyester Resin is made from petrochemical feedstock, so raw material cost moves with crude oil and cannot always be passed on.
• 05A part of the business is trading rather than manufacturing, which normally earns a lower margin.
• 06Rs 8.81 crore of the issue money goes into the subsidiary Croda Pigments as debt rather than into the parent company's own capacity.
• 07A further part is kept for unidentified acquisitions along with general corporate purposes, so investors do not know where that money will go.
• 08The whole business runs from one plant at Bahadurgarh in Haryana, so there is single location risk.
• 09Promoter holding is already moderate at 62.35% and falls to 45.52% after the issue, leaving the promoters below a half share.
• 10This is an SME issue. One lot is 1,600 shares, which is Rs 1.20 lakh at the upper band of Rs 75, and SME shares usually trade in low volume after listing.

Amtech Esters Limited was started in May 2002 and became a public limited company in December 2023. It is a business to business chemical manufacturer, which means it sells to other companies rather than to the public.

Its main product is Unsaturated Polyester Resin, usually called UPR. This is the resin used to make fibre reinforced plastic, or FRP, products. Alongside the resin it makes and supplies related items such as fibreglass, hardeners, silicones and other products used in the same work. By offering these together it lets a customer buy everything needed for a job from one place, from the base resin and reinforcement through to curing and finishing materials.

The company also owns Croda Pigments Private Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary. That company makes pigments, which are the colouring and additive materials used in paints, varnishes, dyes, glues and gums, and it widens the group's overall range. Amtech Esters has its own research and development and quality control departments and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification. Its plant is at Bahadurgarh in Jhajjar district, Haryana. As on 31 March 2026 it had 60 employees.
