Mehul Telecom SME IPO Opens with Balanced Subscription and Modest Listing Outlook

Mehul Telecom's SME IPO opened on April 17 with a price band of Rs 96-98 per share, aiming to raise about Rs 28 crore for working capital and corporate purposes. The company operates a multi-brand retail chain for mobile devices and accessories, primarily in Gujarat, using a hybrid company-owned and franchisee model. The IPO allocation is balanced among qualified institutional buyers, non-institutional investors, and retail investors. Financially, Mehul Telecom reported Rs 152 crore revenue and Rs 7.07 crore profit for the nine months ending December 2025. The grey market premium suggests a modest listing gain, with allotment expected on April 22 and listing on April 24 on the BSE SME platform.
