Maker of pre-stressed concrete railway sleepers and MS pipes for hydro projects, also offering railway EPC services.
The Ticker Tales take
Vishal Nirmiti makes pre-stressed concrete sleepers for railways and steel pipes for hydro projects, and also does railway infrastructure contracting. Most of the ₹178 crore issue is fresh shares (₹145 crore) with a smaller ₹33 crore of existing owners selling, and the bulk is reserved for retail investors. Worth weighing: FY26 revenue and profit both grew only about 6%, to ₹344 crore and ₹25 crore, and the business leans on railway orders. Demand is very quiet: on day two the book was only about 0.23 times covered (big investors usually bid late), and the grey market premium is thin at about ₹6, roughly 3% over the top of the band. That sits inside our flat zone, so for now this is a Neutral; the call locks at 2 PM on 5 October, the closing day.
Surat-based maker of lab-grown diamond studded gold jewellery, sold to businesses and directly to consumers.
The Ticker Tales take
Nityas Gems and Jewellery designs and makes gold jewellery studded with lab-grown diamonds at its Surat plant, selling to other businesses and directly to consumers. The entire ₹108 crore issue is fresh shares, so all the money goes into the company rather than to existing owners. The financials look strong: FY26 revenue more than doubled to ₹203 crore and profit rose 128% to ₹22 crore, though such fast growth in a fashion-linked, price-sensitive product is worth watching. Demand is soft: on day two the book was only about 0.2 times covered, though big investors usually bid late, and the grey market premium is around ₹5, roughly 7% over the top of the band. That leaves us in the flat zone, so for now this is a Neutral; the call locks at 2 PM on 5 October, the closing day.

Why Ticker Tales
Ticker Talesis where India's listed companies become readable. For every business on the NSE and BSE there's a real story — a founder who refused to quit, a bet that reshaped an industry, a number that explains everything. We dig those out and tell them in plain English, so you actually understand the companies behind the tickers instead of just watching prices move.
Alongside the long-form company stories, we run IPO alerts for the Indian market — every open and upcoming IPO with its price band, lot size, issue size, GMP, subscription figures and an honest take — and investor explainers that break down the essentials of investing for beginners: the P/E ratio, market capitalisation, grey market premium, stock splits, delisting and more. No hype, no tips, no jargon — just clear, well-researched context for smarter decisions.
We turn balance sheets and price charts into plain English — so you understand the companies behind the tickers, not just the noise.
