Oswal Pumps IPO: Should you apply? Here's what analysts say

Brokerages remain bullish on the company’s long-term prospects. SBI Securities has recommended subscribing to the IPO for long-term gains, citing Oswal Pumps’ dominance as a supplier under the government’s PM Kusum Scheme, where it accounted for nearly 38% of all solar-powered agricultural pumps installed in India as of December 2024.

“At the upper price band of Rs 614, the IPO is valued at 24.2x P/E and 15.1x EV/EBITDA based on 9MFY25 annualised earnings. Given its strong positioning and future-ready vertical integration, we believe the company offers promising growth,” the brokerage said.

That said, the firm also flagged risks including policy dependence and cash flow delays, given the company's exposure to government-led projects.

Strong order book supports growth outlook

As of now, Oswal Pumps holds an order book of Rs 1,100 crore, around 0.8 times its annualised revenue for the first nine months of FY25. Additionally, the company has a bid pipeline worth Rs 3,200 crore, reinforcing confidence in its growth trajectory.
