Investors are advised to go through the DRHP and other publicly available disclosures before arriving at any investment decision.

    Gujarat Victory Forgings IPO

    Non-ferrous metals like copper are widely used across electrical networks, vehicles, renewable energy, construction and industrial machinery. Rising infrastructure investment, clean energy projects and export demand have supported growth in India's copper industry. 

    Gujarat Victory Forgings Limited submitted its DRHP to SEBI on March 30, 2026, with a proposal to raise funds via an IPO. The company, headquartered in Vadodara, Gujarat, makes non-ferrous metal products — primarily copper cathodes and a set of downstream copper items — by processing and recycling metal scrap. The following sections highlight the key information disclosed in the DRHP.

    About the Company

    Company Background

    The company was set up in September 1990 as Gujarat Victory Forgings Private Limited. Board and shareholder resolutions passed in early 2026 converted it into a public limited company; a fresh certificate of incorporation was issued on March 9, 2026. The registered office is at Manjusar, Savli, Vadodara, Gujarat. Vijendrakumar Bishamber Gupta, Manjuben Vijendrakumar Gupta and Rahul Vijendra Agrawal are the three promoters.

    Business Overview

    The first manufacturing unit came up in 1991 at Panchmahals. Copper exports began in 2010, initially to Zambia. A second unit in Vadodara was operational from 2019. As of the DRHP date, three manufacturing units are in operation — one in Panchmahals and two in Vadodara.

    The core activity is processing and recycling copper scrap to produce copper cathodes and related products. The product list covers:

    • Copper cathodes with copper purity ranging from approximately 99.96% to 99.99%

    • Copper tubes and pipes

    • Copper rods

    • Copper busbars

    • Copper ingots

    • Copper coils

    • Brass tubes and pipes

    • Copper alloy rods

    • Master alloys of copper (copper arsenic, copper phosphorus, copper nickel, copper chromium zirconium and copper silicon alloys)

    Buyers include manufacturers, distributors and industrial users across power infrastructure, automotive, construction and real estate, renewable energy, electronics and industrial machinery. The company operates on a B2B model. As of September 30, 2025, it had served 176 customers in 15 states and union territories domestically, along with exports to Oman, Zambia, South Korea, Indonesia and UAE.

    Revenue Model

    Sales of copper cathodes, copper-related products and master alloys of copper generate revenue. Copper cathodes alone made up 49.34% of revenue from operations in FY2025, 56.30% in FY2024 and 44.29% in FY2023, per the DRHP. Domestic sales account for the larger part; exports to five countries make up the remainder.

    Industry Position

    Gujarat Victory Forgings Limited operates in the non-ferrous metals industry with a focus on copper recycling and copper-based products. The company manufactures copper cathodes and value-added copper products used across sectors such as power infrastructure, automotive, renewable energy, construction and industrial manufacturing. Its operations are supported by three manufacturing units in Gujarat and a customer base spread across domestic and export markets.

    Industry Overview

    Copper's electrical conductivity, thermal performance and recyclability make it one of the more widely used industrial metals. Power grids, construction projects, transportation equipment, electronics and industrial machinery all consume it in significant quantities.

    Per the CareEdge Report commissioned for the DRHP, Gujarat holds the position of India's largest copper cathode and copper wire producing state. Recycling of copper scrap has gained ground as an input source, given its cost and sustainability advantages over primary production.

    Demand drivers for copper and non-ferrous metal products noted in the DRHP include:

    • Power transmission and distribution infrastructure expansion

    • Electric vehicle adoption

    • Renewable energy capacity additions

    • Industrial manufacturing growth

    • Infrastructure spending programmes

    • Resource efficiency and recycling focus

    • Demand for high-conductivity materials

    Strengths of Gujarat Victory Forgings Limited

    1. Established Operating History

    The first unit began production in 1991. The company has been engaged in copper processing and manufacturing operations since 1991 and has expanded its manufacturing facilities and product portfolio over time. 

    2. Diversified Product Portfolio

    The company manufactures a diversified range of copper cathodes, copper products and master alloys serving multiple industrial applications.

    3. Multiple End-Use Industry Exposure

    The customer base cuts across power infrastructure, automotive, renewable energy, construction and real estate, electronics and industrial machinery, serving customers across multiple end-use industries. 

    4. Manufacturing Location

    Both Vadodara manufacturing units are located adjacent to each other in Gujarat, which the CareEdge Report identifies as India's largest copper cathode and copper wire producing state. 

    5. Scrap-Based Business Model

    Raw material procurement centres on copper scrap, sourced from domestic and international suppliers across multiple countries including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, UAE and the USA, among others, per the DRHP.

    6. Customer Relationships

    176 customers were served across domestic and export markets as of September 30, 2025. The top 10 customers had an average tenure of over 6.3 years post the establishment of Unit II, per the DRHP.

    Risks Associated with the Business

    Raw Material Availability and Quality

    Copper scrap varies in purity and composition. Procurement of adequately graded scrap can be disrupted by supply shortfalls, import restrictions or quality inconsistency — any of which may push processing costs higher and weigh on margins.

    Product Concentration

    Copper cathodes made up 44% to 56% of revenue from operations across the periods reported. Copper cathodes accounted for between 44% and 56% of revenue from operations during the reported periods. Any decline in demand for copper cathodes could affect the company's revenue and financial performance. 

    Commodity Price Movements

    Input costs and selling prices are both tied to copper market prices. The company's profitability may be affected by fluctuations in copper prices, which influence both raw material costs and product realisations. 

    Import Exposure

    Part of the raw material requirement is met through imports. Changes in import policies, trade regulations or the availability of imported copper scrap may affect raw material procurement and costs. 

    Geographic Concentration of Domestic Sales

    Western India accounts for the bulk of domestic revenue. A demand slowdown or regional disruption in that geography could affect a disproportionate share of sales.

    Competition

    Domestic and international non-ferrous metals manufacturers compete across overlapping product categories.

    Regulatory and Environmental Compliance

    Recycling and manufacturing operations are subject to environmental regulations. Tightening of norms or non-compliance can lead to cost increases or operational disruptions.

    Capital Intensity

    The business requires capital investment for manufacturing facilities, equipment and working capital requirements. 

    Key Things Investors May Consider

    Investors reviewing this IPO may wish to look at the following:

    • Revenue contribution from copper cathodes and the concentration of revenue across product categories. 

    • Unit III expansion at Vadodara — scope, cost and how quickly capacity comes online

    • Revenue and profitability trends across the three fiscal years in the DRHP and the stub period

    • Raw material sourcing — scrap quality, domestic availability and the degree of import reliance

    • What the proposed borrowing repayment does to the debt position going forward

    • Copper price sensitivity, given that both input costs and realisations move with the commodity

    • Demand trends across end-use industries such as power, electric vehicles and renewable energy. 

    • Market position within the non-ferrous metals industry and the company's customer and product diversification
