Zetwerk IPO price band set at Rs 143 to 151, opens 15 October
Zetwerk Manufacturing Businesses has set a price band of Rs 143 to Rs 151 per share for its initial public offering (IPO), which will raise Rs 5,012 crore and open for subscription on 15 October 2026. The Bengaluru-based company is targeting a valuation of Rs 25,583 crore ($3.2 billion) at the upper end of the band, according to its red herring prospectus filed on 12 October.
The IPO comprises a fresh issue of Rs 2,830 crore and an offer for sale of 14.45 crore shares. Co-founders Amrit Acharya and Srinath Ramakkrushnan will each sell 1.42 crore shares. Promoter entity Creovate Innovation and investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Peak XV Partners and Accel India will also sell shares. The company plans to use Rs 2,160 crore from the fresh proceeds to repay debt.
Zetwerk reported revenue of Rs 15,913 crore in FY26, up 40% year-on-year, while net loss widened to Rs 1,606 crore from Rs 371 crore. The IPO closes on 19 October, with listing expected on 23 October.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Three outlets report the IPO details neutrally, with The Hindu Business Line leading on Zetwerk’s AI infrastructure and energy orders as growth drivers, while Livemint includes CEO comments on valuation and debt reduction. Entrackr alone leads with early investors’ potential returns of up to 38X, framing the OFS as a windfall. The financial figures are consistent across sources, though the net loss increase in FY26 is explained by Zetwerk’s CEO as one-time non-cash adjustments in The Hindu Business Line but not in the other outlets. The key date to watch is the IPO opening on 15 October 2026.
