This volatility occurred amid weak stock market sentiment, highlighting the market's cautious approach to new listings.
Caliber Mining & Logistics has delivered impressive financial growth, with a ₹9,551 crore order book, equivalent to nearly 5.7 times FY26 revenue, providing meaningful near-term revenue visibility. The company reported a consolidated net profit of ₹157.90 crore and income from operations of ₹1,677.66 crore for the twelve months ended March 31, 2026. In FY26, the company extracted 4.48 million metric tonnes (MT) of coal from open-cast mines and removed 128.07 million cubic meters (Mcum) of overburden across seven open-cast mining projects. Coal mining services remained the company's primary revenue contributor, accounting for 86.08% of revenue from operations in FY26, up from 80.55% in FY25. Logistics contributed 12.44% of revenue (16.39% in FY25), followed by rake loading at 0.54%, rail coordination services at 0.02%, and coal trading at 0.92%. According to INVasset PMS Research Analyst Sushant Prashar, a post-issue valuation of about 17.55x earnings appears reasonable relative to its return on equity of 27.78%. As per Swastika Investmart Ltd Head of Wealth Shivani Nyati, the listing reflects healthy investor confidence and positive IPO response, though some profit booking cannot be ruled out after the sharp gain.
The ₹450-crore IPO consists of a fresh issue of 94.33 lakh equity shares worth ₹400 crore and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 11.79 lakh shares valued at ₹50 crore. The public issue opened for subscription on July 17 and closed on July 21 with the price band fixed at ₹402 to ₹424 per share. Before the IPO, the company mobilised ₹135 crore from anchor investors, including Carnelian India Amritkaal Fund, Abakkus Four2Eight Opportunities Fund, Ashoka India Equity Investment Trust Plc, Quant Mutual Fund and Helios Mutual Fund. The entire offer-for-sale portion was by the promoters, namely Mohit S Chadda (₹12.5 crore), Anuj K Chadda (₹12.5 crore), Manish K Chadda (₹12.5 crore), and Rahul R Chadda (₹12.5 crore). Since the IPO includes an offer for sale, the company will not receive any proceeds from that portion. Of the net proceeds, the company proposed to utilize ₹208 crore towards repayment and/or prepayment of outstanding borrowings, ₹167 crore towards funding capital expenditure for the purchase of commercial vehicles and plant & machinery, and the balance towards general corporate purposes. Dam Capital Advisors Ltd. serves as the book running lead manager and Kfin Technologies Ltd. is the registrar for the IPO.
