Promise vs Delivery

Sambhv Steel Tubes IPO

Sambhv delivered the main IPO-money promise. The ₹390 crore debt-repayment object was completed in FY26, and all ₹440 crore of gross IPO proceeds were utilised by 30 Jun 2026. The final ₹1.50 crore GCP balance was completed after a three-month delay, with no deviation reported. It is still too early to say whether the IPO ultimately made the business stronger.
