Matangi Rubber Files DRHP For IPO To Fund Expansion And Debt Repayment

Tyre manufacturer Matangi Rubber has submitted its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), taking a step towards a public listing. The proposed initial public offering (IPO) is aimed at strengthening the company's balance sheet and supporting its next phase of manufacturing expansion. 

The Delhi-based company operates in the tyres, tubes, tyre flaps and rubber compounds segment, catering primarily to two-wheeler, three-wheeler and commercial vehicle markets. 

IPO Structure Includes Fresh Issue And Offer For Sale 

The proposed public issue comprises a fresh issue of 57.61 lakh equity shares and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 15.15 lakh shares by existing shareholders, taking the total issue size to 72.76 lakh shares. 

Among the selling shareholders, promoter entity Vandana Rubber and Chemicals plans to divest 13.63 lakh shares. Other shareholders, including Radhika Gupta, Anju Khanna, Priyanka Khanna and Pratyush Handa, will also participate in the OFS component. 

Sarthi Capital Advisors has been appointed as the book-running lead manager for the proposed offering. 

Funds To Support Expansion And Debt Reduction 

A significant portion of the proceeds from the fresh issue has been earmarked for repayment of borrowings, with the company planning to utilise ₹45 crore towards reducing outstanding debt. 

The company also intends to invest ₹19.05 crore in establishing a new facility for manufacturing rubber recycling products. In addition, ₹8.4 crore has been allocated for setting up a greenfield plant to manufacture solid tyres in Bhind, Madhya Pradesh. 

The remaining funds raised through the fresh issue will be used for general corporate purposes and business requirements. 

Manufacturing Footprint And Business Operations 

Established in 2004, Matangi Rubber manufactures tyres, tubes, tyre flaps and rubber compounds through five production facilities located across Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. 

Its tyre portfolio is largely focused on the two-wheeler and three-wheeler categories, while its tubes and tyre flaps cater mainly to commercial vehicle applications. Apart from manufacturing, the company is also engaged in trading rubber materials and provides support services to JK Tyre & Industries.
