SFC Environmental Technologies Ltd will open its Rs 668-crore initial public offering on 27 October, with a price band of Rs 313 to Rs 330 per share. The company is valued at around Rs 3,233 crore at the top end of the band. The issue comprises a fresh equity portion of Rs 150 crore and an offer-for-sale of up to 1.57 crore shares by promoters and existing shareholders.

The Mumbai-based wastewater treatment firm, incorporated in 2005, uses proprietary technologies including C-Tech for sewage and effluent treatment. Its customers include SMC Infrastructures and Ramky Infrastructure. The IPO closes on 29 October, with anchor investor bidding on 26 October. Equity shares are scheduled to list on BSE and NSE on 3 November. IIFL Capital Services, JM Financial and Nuvama Wealth Management are the lead managers.
The IPO opens and closes within four days, a compressed timeline that could create urgency among retail investors but also reduces the window for market assessment. Fresh-issue proceeds are earmarked entirely for debt repayment and working capital, which signals the company is prioritising balance-sheet repair over expansion. The 35 per cent retail reservation is aggressive and will test retail appetite for a niche water-treatment firm. Anchor investor bidding on 26 October will offer the first real demand signal for the issue.
