Watrana Rentals LTD IPO

01At a glance

What the company does: rents material handling equipment (forklifts, reach trucks, stackers, pallet trucks, order pickers, towing trucks) and aerial work platforms to industrial customers, usually with its own operators, and trades new and used equipment and batteries (AP p.2, DRHP p.155). Hiring income was 87.66% of FY26 revenue (DRHP p.156).

Who pays it: 357 customers in FY26 across logistics and warehousing, food and beverages, tyres, solar, chemicals, automotive and other industries; the document names JK Tyre Industries Limited, Repono Limited, Jubilant Marketing Company Private Limited, Newgentech Solutions and Jubi Pack among them (DRHP p.159, DRHP p.348). The largest customer was 3.33% of FY26 revenue and the top ten 25.70% (DRHP p.27).

Why it is raising money: ₹9,812.67 lakh for 323 material handling machines (₹6,502.15 lakh), 12 aerial work platforms (₹1,458.20 lakh) and 688 batteries (₹1,852.32 lakh) across FY27 and FY28, plus general corporate purposes capped at 15% of the issue or ₹10 crore (DRHP p.88, DRHP p.89).

How fast it has grown: revenue from ₹13,011.62 lakh in FY24 to ₹21,135.83 lakh in FY26, about 27.5% a year, and profit after tax from ₹1,805.03 lakh to ₹2,915.92 lakh, about 27.1% a year (our arithmetic, DRHP p.59).

The one thing to understand: this is a fleet business funded by debt and by the promoters. Borrowings were ₹16,408.30 lakh at March 2026 against net worth of ₹8,555.37 lakh, and ₹3,499.83 lakh of interest-free promoter loans were turned into shares at ₹245 each in July 2026, a month before filing (DRHP p.108, DRHP p.238, DRHP p.32).

02The business, in plain words

A tyre plant or a warehouse needs forklifts and people to drive them, but may not want to own either. This company owns the machines, sends them with operators and technicians, maintains them, replaces them when they break down, and bills a rental.

A factory or warehouse asks for equipment → the company quotes on machines, accessories, operators and logistics → it deploys its own fleet, or hires machines from others when short → it is paid a hiring charge, plus freight and manpower charges.

The company was incorporated in Delhi in November 2019 and became a public company in December 2024 (DRHP p.65). The promoters began renting material handling equipment in 2011 through Watrana Traction Company, a partnership firm in which Sanjeev Kumar Watrana and Rajeev Kumar Watrana are partners (DRHP p.156, DRHP p.186).

At March 31, 2026 the company owned 2,518 material handling machines and 31 aerial work platforms, with brands including Hangcha, Toyota, Nichiyu, BYD and Hyundai, and served customers at 630 rental sites (DRHP p.158, DRHP p.161). It had 3,855 employees, of whom 3,489 work in operations (DRHP p.166). It does not own any premises; its warehouses at Greater Noida are rented from promoter group entities (DRHP p.170).

Earnings equation: Profit ≈ machines deployed × daily or monthly rental − operator and technician wages − hired-in machines − depreciation on the fleet − interest on the loans that bought it. In FY26 employee cost was ₹9,127.48 lakh, 43.19% of revenue, depreciation ₹1,600.01 lakh and finance cost ₹991.14 lakh (our arithmetic, DRHP p.59).

03Where the money comes from

Source: DRHP p.156. By state, Gujarat was 23.97% of FY26 revenue, Maharashtra 12.60%, Haryana 10.95%, Uttar Pradesh 9.26%, Tamil Nadu 8.75% and Delhi 8.09% (DRHP p.157). By customer industry, logistics and warehousing was 21.55%, material handling equipment users 13.25%, food and beverages 13.00% and tyres 12.36% (DRHP p.159, DRHP p.160).

Source: DRHP p.27, DRHP p.159. Revenue does not depend on a few customers: the largest is about a thirtieth of the total and the top ten about a quarter, and both shares fell each year. Purchases are more concentrated: the top five suppliers were 56.37% of FY26 purchases and the top ten 64.81%, down from 76.35% and 79.36% in FY24 (DRHP p.159).

04The growth record

Source: DRHP p.59, DRHP p.60, DRHP p.108, DRHP p.238. Return on equity was 78.65%, 55.30% and 41.08%, and return on capital employed 24.11%, 23.85% and 19.06% (DRHP p.108). The ROCE for FY26 is 19.06% (DRHP p.108).

Revenue was ₹13,011.62 lakh in FY24 and ₹21,135.83 lakh in FY26, and profit after tax ₹1,805.03 lakh and ₹2,915.92 lakh (DRHP p.59). Our arithmetic over FY24 to FY26: revenue grew about 27.5% a year and profit about 27.1% a year (our arithmetic, DRHP p.59). EBITDA grew about 30.8% a year and the EBITDA margin moved from 29.19% to 30.76%, up 157 basis points, while the PAT margin was flat, down 8 basis points (our arithmetic, DRHP p.108). Year by year, revenue rose 37.94% in FY25 and 17.76% in FY26 (DRHP p.157).

Operating cash flow was ₹4,867.88 lakh in FY26 (DRHP p.60), but fleet purchases of ₹5,282.51 lakh, ₹4,427.70 lakh and ₹9,117.51 lakh were larger than operating cash in every year (DRHP p.60). Other income was ₹33.58 lakh, about 0.9% of FY26 profit before tax (our arithmetic, DRHP p.59). Net debt was about 2.5 times FY26 EBITDA (our arithmetic, DRHP p.108), using cash of ₹231.82 lakh (DRHP p.58).

Receivable days were about 66 in FY26 (our arithmetic, DRHP p.58). Contingent liabilities were ₹86.52 lakh at March 2026, with a further ₹1,238.43 lakh of capital and letter-of-credit commitments (DRHP p.62). The commissioned industry report places the business within India's capital goods and industrial machinery sector (AP p.3). No year end was changed, but depreciation moved from written-down value to straight line from April 1, 2023, which the auditor flags (see section 05).

05What the growth is made of

Mostly fleet. Owned machines went from 1,089 at March 2024 to 1,410 at March 2025 and 2,549 at March 2026 (DRHP p.157). The company bought 359 units for ₹4,556.38 lakh in FY24, 337 for ₹3,933.69 lakh in FY25 and 1,159 for ₹8,198.10 lakh in FY26 (DRHP p.99). Customers rose from 250 in FY24 to 293 in FY25 and 357 in FY26 (DRHP p.348, DRHP p.351).

Hiring income rose from ₹12,029.12 lakh in FY24 to ₹18,527.24 lakh in FY26, 54.0%, while the owned fleet at the year end rose 134.1% (our arithmetic, DRHP p.156, DRHP p.157). Hiring income per owned unit at the year end fell from about ₹11.05 lakh to about ₹7.27 lakh (our arithmetic, DRHP p.156, DRHP p.157). Read from the filing: part of that fall is timing, since 1,139 units were added during FY26 and earned less than a full year; part is that the company hired fewer machines from others, as the document says the owned fleet "reduced our reliance on equipment hired from third parties" (DRHP p.349).

Trading grew faster than rental: sale of traded goods rose from ₹452.93 lakh to ₹1,904.94 lakh (DRHP p.156). The offer document does not disclose rental rates, average fleet in use during the year or revenue by equipment type, so the increase cannot be separated into more machines, higher rates and mix. Aerial work platform revenue is not shown separately.

06Earnings quality

The one that needs explaining is the depreciation change. From April 1, 2023 the company switched every class of asset from the written-down value method to the straight-line method, treating it as a change of estimate; for FY24 this cut depreciation by ₹1,205.74 lakh and raised net profit by ₹1,204.57 lakh (DRHP p.43).

All three restated years are on the new method, so the FY24 to FY26 growth rates are like for like, but FY24 profit of ₹1,805.03 lakh would have been roughly a third of that under the old method (our arithmetic, DRHP p.43, DRHP p.59). The tax computation still claims depreciation of ₹2,881.13 lakh against ₹1,600.01 lakh in the books for FY26 (DRHP p.239).

07The balance sheet

At March 31, 2026 total assets were ₹28,706.67 lakh, of which property, plant and equipment (the fleet) was ₹22,610.69 lakh, trade receivables ₹3,801.88 lakh, other current assets ₹1,381.53 lakh, inventories ₹262.32 lakh and cash and bank ₹231.82 lakh (DRHP p.58). Against that stood long-term borrowings of ₹6,317.71 lakh, short-term borrowings of ₹10,090.59 lakh, deferred tax of ₹746.53 lakh and net worth of ₹8,555.37 lakh (DRHP p.58).

The short-term borrowings break down as ₹4,603.58 lakh of interest-free loans from the two promoters, repayable on demand and given without formal loan agreements, ₹4,590.43 lakh of current maturities of term loans and a ₹896.58 lakh bank overdraft (our arithmetic, DRHP p.227, DRHP p.339). Sanctioned secured facilities were ₹21,271.61 lakh, and the promoters have given personal guarantees on equipment loans, bank guarantees, letters of credit and cash credit (DRHP p.31, DRHP p.39). The current ratio was 0.45 (DRHP p.238).

Source: our arithmetic on DRHP p.32, DRHP p.108 and DRHP p.238, moving only the ₹3,499.83 lakh converted into shares on July 27, 2026 and ignoring trading since March. The issue itself does not repay debt: the money is for new equipment, and the price is not set, so the amount raised cannot be stated (DRHP p.88).

08What the money is for

Source: DRHP p.88, DRHP p.89. The machines are Toyota electric forklifts, reach trucks and powered pallet trucks quoted by Toyota Material Handling India Pvt.

Ltd. on August 6, 2026; the platforms are articulated and telescopic boom lifts with working heights of 18 to 44 metres quoted by Dingli AWP India Private Limited on August 7, 2026; the batteries are quoted by Exide Industries Limited, ₹1,569.76 lakh before GST (DRHP p.91, DRHP p.92, DRHP p.96, DRHP p.97, DRHP p.99).

No order has been placed and no agreement signed, the quotations can lapse, and any cost overrun is to be met from internal accruals (DRHP p.99). None of the objects has been appraised by a bank or any independent party (DRHP p.102). Only ₹12.90 lakh of issue expenses had been spent by August 13, 2026 (DRHP p.102).

Into the business the whole issue: up to 49,02,000 new shares, not priced at draft stage (DRHP p.76). To selling shareholders nothing: there is no offer for sale (AP p.1).

09Who is selling

No one. The issue is a fresh issue of up to 49,02,000 shares by the company; the offer for sale is marked not applicable (AP p.1). The fresh issue is up to 49,02,000 shares, not priced at draft stage (DRHP p.76). Promoters and the promoter group will not take part in the issue (DRHP p.87).

10Promoters

The promoters are Sanjeev Kumar Watrana, Rajeev Kumar Watrana and Neha Watrana (DRHP p.201). Sanjeev Kumar Watrana, 52, is Managing Director, holds a diploma in tool and die making from the Board of Technical Education, Delhi, and has been a partner in Watrana Traction Company since 2011 (DRHP p.184, DRHP p.186).

Rajeev Kumar Watrana, 50, is Whole-Time Director and Chief Financial Officer, holds a BCA from Indira Gandhi National Open University and is also a partner in Watrana Traction Company (DRHP p.184, DRHP p.186).

Neha Watrana, 44, is a non-executive director since September 30, 2024, holds a B.Com from Delhi University, is Public Relations Manager at Watrana Traction Company since February 2011, and was classified as a promoter by a resolution of June 18, 2026 (DRHP p.185, DRHP p.186, DRHP p.202). The document describes Rajeev Kumar Watrana and Sanjeev Kumar Watrana as brothers, and Neha Watrana as the wife of Rajeev Kumar Watrana (DRHP p.187).

What else they run: Sanjeev Kumar Watrana and Rajeev Kumar Watrana are directors of Watrana Traction Private Limited, JKW Innovatics Private Limited and JK Safety Foundation and partners in Futuristic Bots LLP (DRHP p.184). Watrana Traction Company rents out material handling equipment, which overlaps with this company's rental business, and Watrana Traction Private Limited sells batteries and owns the trademarks the company uses (DRHP p.28, DRHP p.34). The document records no directorship in a suspended or delisted listed company, and states that none of the executive directors has experience in a listed company (DRHP p.187, DRHP p.40).

Pay: Sanjeev Kumar Watrana and Rajeev Kumar Watrana have each been paid ₹1,00,000 a month since February 5, 2025, with no perquisites (DRHP p.188, DRHP p.189). Director remuneration was nil in FY24 and ₹12.00 lakh each in FY25 and FY26; Neha Watrana received sitting fees of ₹1.20 lakh in FY26 (DRHP p.63). Promoter remuneration was nil in FY24 and ₹24.00 lakh in FY26 (DRHP p.63).

Litigation: there is one material civil matter against the promoters, an arbitration dispute raised by Krishan Sanghi, a 15% partner in Futuristic Bots LLP, alleging diversion of that LLP's assets, staff and technology to associated entities; the Section 9 petition before the Delhi High Court states a specified value of ₹1,600.00 lakh, the company is named among the respondents, and the court directed on May 26, 2026 that the LLP's assets not be transferred without due procedure (DRHP p.357, DRHP p.359). The document records no criminal case, regulatory action or tax case against the promoters (DRHP p.358, DRHP p.362).

Promoter economics: the two founders subscribed 5,000 shares each at ₹10 on incorporation in 2019; a bonus of 1,000 shares for every one held on September 28, 2024 gave each 50,00,000 more; and on July 27, 2026 each was allotted 7,14,250 shares at ₹245 by converting unsecured loans, ₹34,99,82,500 in all (DRHP p.77).

The bonus was 1000:1 in September 2024 and the last allotment before the IPO was at ₹245 a share in July 2026 (DRHP p.77). Their weighted average cost is ₹30.61 a share, and ₹245 for shares acquired in the last year (DRHP p.83). On October 7, 2024 the two gave 50 shares by gift to Neha Watrana and four promoter group members (DRHP p.82).

11Who already owns it

Source: DRHP p.81. The company has seven shareholders, all promoters or promoter group; there is no public shareholder, no private equity, no institution, no employee stock option scheme and no convertible instrument (DRHP p.76, DRHP p.84). The fresh issue is up to 49,02,000 shares, not priced at draft stage (DRHP p.76). On full allotment the share count would be 1,63,40,500 and the promoters' holding would fall from 99.99% to about 70.0% (our arithmetic, DRHP p.81). The securities premium account was ₹3,356.98 lakh before the issue, almost all from the July 2026 conversion (DRHP p.76).

12What changed just before the IPO

• A 1,000 for 1 bonus issue on September 28, 2024 turned 10,000 shares into 1,00,10,000, capitalising reserves (DRHP p.77, DRHP p.78).
• The company became a public company in December 2024, with the certificate dated December 19, 2024 (DRHP p.65).
• The statutory auditor changed. Rajesh Vijay & Company resigned on September 18, 2024 because a peer-reviewed firm was needed for the IPO, and PRASS & Associates LLP was appointed the same day (DRHP p.70). The auditor change was from Rajesh Vijay & Company to PRASS & Associates LLP in September 2024 (DRHP p.70). PRASS re-audited FY24 (DRHP p.212).
• The depreciation method changed from April 1, 2023, raising FY24 profit by ₹1,204.57 lakh (DRHP p.43).
• Board and pay were set up: two independent directors joined on September 30, 2024, and the two founders were re-designated Managing Director and Whole-Time Director on February 5, 2025 at ₹1,00,000 a month, having drawn no remuneration in FY24 (DRHP p.185, DRHP p.188, DRHP p.63).
• Promoter loans rose and were converted. Loans from the directors went from ₹1,186.92 lakh at March 2025 to ₹4,603.58 lakh at March 2026, and ₹3,499.83 lakh of them became 14,28,500 shares at ₹245 on July 27, 2026, leaving ₹1,103.75 lakh (DRHP p.227, DRHP p.32). Directors' interest-free loans stood at ₹4,603.58 lakh at March 2026 (DRHP p.227).
• No pre-IPO placement. Besides the bonus, the only allotment since 2019 was the loan conversion; the last allotment before the IPO was at ₹245 a share in July 2026 (DRHP p.77).
• Machinery bought from the promoters' firm jumped. Purchases of machinery from Watrana Traction Company were ₹84.26 lakh in FY24, ₹1.68 lakh in FY25 and ₹2,521.01 lakh in FY26 (DRHP p.63).
• The fleet more than doubled, from 1,089 owned units at March 2024 to 2,549 at March 2026 (DRHP p.157).
• Receivable days fell, from about 82 in FY24 to about 66 in FY26 (our arithmetic, DRHP p.58).
• Customer concentration fell: the largest customer was 5.68% of FY24 revenue and 3.33% of FY26 revenue (DRHP p.27). The top ten were 25.70% of FY26 revenue (DRHP p.159). The top five suppliers were 56.37% of FY26 purchases (DRHP p.159).
• Neha Watrana was classified as a promoter on June 18, 2026; the company secretary Gunjan Shah resigned with effect from June 20, 2026 and Drishti Gupta was appointed from June 18, 2026 (DRHP p.202, DRHP p.199).
• Authorised capital was raised from ₹14 crore to ₹16.5 crore on August 20, 2026 (DRHP p.181).

13Capacity and expansion

The company makes nothing; its capacity is its fleet (DRHP p.169).

Source: DRHP p.167. The company says utilisation is a management estimate that has not been verified by the auditor or anyone else (DRHP p.36). At March 2026, 345 units (13.53%) were under a year old, 1,348 (52.88%) one to five years and 856 (33.59%) over five years (DRHP p.161).

The issue would add 323 machines and 12 platforms, about 13.1% on the March 2026 owned fleet, plus 688 batteries, bought across FY27 and FY28 (our arithmetic, DRHP p.89, DRHP p.157). The chain from those units to revenue needs a rental rate and a utilisation for each unit, and the document gives neither, so no revenue is attached to them here.

14Market size and industry structure

As claimed: the Indian material handling equipment market is projected to grow from USD 4.20 billion in 2026 to USD 13.04 billion by 2036, a 12.02% compound rate, and the global market from USD 48.35 billion to USD 90.71 billion, 6.50% (DRHP p.130, DRHP p.132). The source is the “Industry Report on Material Handling Equipment” dated August 19, 2026 by Infomerics Analytics and Research Private Limited, commissioned by the company for the offer (DRHP p.469).

The part that is addressable: rental of forklifts, warehouse trucks and aerial work platforms, with operators, to Indian factories and warehouses. The commissioned report does not size the rental segment separately in the pages read; the figures above cover all material handling equipment, including cranes, racking and automation.

What the company is today: ₹21,135.83 lakh of FY26 revenue, 2,549 owned units and 3,855 employees (DRHP p.59, DRHP p.157, DRHP p.166).

On structure, the commissioned report describes the rental market as made up of organised rental companies, manufacturer-led platforms, regional operators and smaller providers, competing on rental rates, equipment availability, service response and operators (DRHP p.144). The company's own business chapter says price is often the deciding factor (DRHP p.168). Demand is tied to manufacturing, warehousing and logistics activity (DRHP p.144).

15Competitive position

Source: DRHP p.109, DRHP p.110, DRHP p.146, FY26, converted from ₹ lakh. Leap India's RoCE is calculated on EBITDA rather than EBIT (DRHP p.111), so it is not like for like.

Why customers use this company rather than another, as far as the document supports it: a fleet of 2,549 owned units across 25 states and 630 sites (DRHP p.161, DRHP p.162); operators, technicians and replacement machines supplied with the rental (DRHP p.155); ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certificates for rental and maintenance (DRHP p.169). Against that: maintenance and servicing are done by third-party vendors (DRHP p.165), the trademarks belong to a group company (DRHP p.34), and a promoter firm runs the same rental business (DRHP p.28).

16Peers the company named

Peers named in the offer document: Seemax Resources Limited and Leap India Ltd (DRHP p.107).

Seemax Resources is the closer business, an equipment rental, sales and service provider that supplies operators and is a Hyundai dealer in Gujarat, but it is about a fifteenth of this company's size, with FY26 revenue of ₹1,374.41 lakh (DRHP p.146, DRHP p.109).

Leap India is mainly a pallet and container pooling company that entered forklift pooling through a subsidiary; its FY26 revenue of ₹72,953.30 lakh is about 3.5 times this company's, and its EBITDA margin of 50.69% reflects a different model (DRHP p.146, DRHP p.110). The document itself notes the peers are not strictly comparable (DRHP p.107).

The company's industry chapter also names Sanghvi Movers, Godrej RenTRUST, Toyota Material Handling India and Jungheinrich Lift Truck India as participants in relevant segments (DRHP p.146).

17Risks, in plain words

Debt and the promoters' money: borrowings were ₹16,408.30 lakh against EBITDA of ₹6,500.72 lakh in FY26 (DRHP p.108) → every fleet purchase so far has been paid for with loans and promoter money, and cash after fleet purchases was negative in all three years → ₹1,103.75 lakh of promoter loans are still repayable on demand, as is a ₹896.58 lakh overdraft (DRHP p.32).

A promoter firm in the same business: Watrana Traction Company rents out the same kind of equipment (DRHP p.28) → the company paid it ₹1,208.17 lakh in FY26 for hired machines and bought ₹2,521.01 lakh of machinery from it (DRHP p.63) → the document says only that the transactions were on an arm's length basis and that an agreement with the group company is in place (DRHP p.28, DRHP p.32).

Depreciation choice: the switch to straight-line depreciation raised FY24 profit by ₹1,204.57 lakh (DRHP p.43) → reported profit depends on the life assumed for each machine → a third of the fleet is already over five years old (DRHP p.161).

Labour: employee cost was ₹9,127.48 lakh, 43.12% of FY26 total income, for 3,855 employees (DRHP p.39, DRHP p.166) → rental rates have to cover wage and statutory cost increases → the new labour codes already added a ₹26.40 lakh exceptional charge in FY26 (DRHP p.350), and there were past delays in provident fund deposits (DRHP p.45).

Utilisation that is not verified: the 90% fleet utilisation is a management estimate not checked by anyone (DRHP p.36) → the new units bought with the issue only earn when deployed → aerial work platforms are an early-stage line with 31 units (DRHP p.41).

Legal and compliance: an arbitration claim with a specified value of ₹1,600.00 lakh names the company, both founders and a group company (DRHP p.357) → the same filing lists 35 delayed filings with the Registrar of Companies, of 3 to 93 days, and charge forms not filed for certain loans (DRHP p.30, DRHP p.31).

Issue-specific: no objects appraised, no orders placed, general corporate purposes and issue expenses left blank, and no price band (DRHP p.99, DRHP p.100, DRHP p.102).

18Litigation and regulatory matters

The document records no criminal case and no regulatory action against the company, promoters, directors or key managerial personnel (DRHP p.357, DRHP p.359). The claimed ₹1,600.00 lakh is the specified value stated in the petitioner's filing, not an amount the company has accepted (DRHP p.358). The materiality threshold for civil cases is ₹119.40 lakh (DRHP p.357).

19Related-party transactions

Source: DRHP p.63; the loan and remuneration rows are our arithmetic on the two founders' lines. Other items: goods sold to Watrana Traction Pvt. Ltd. of ₹209.30 lakh in FY26, office rent to both Watrana entities, ₹121.99 lakh of machinery upgradation charges paid to Futuristic Bots LLP in FY26, and a corporate guarantee line against Watrana Traction Pvt. Ltd. of ₹6,200.00 lakh outstanding at March 2026 (DRHP p.63, DRHP p.64).

Read from the filing: the table does not say in words which way that guarantee runs, but the company's own guarantees in contingent liabilities are only ₹83.84 lakh, which suggests the group company guarantees the company's loans (DRHP p.62, DRHP p.63).

What appeared in the two years before filing: director remuneration from FY25; sitting fees to Neha Watrana from FY25; the Futuristic Bots LLP upgradation charges in FY26; and the large machinery purchase from Watrana Traction Company in FY26 (DRHP p.63, DRHP p.64). Hiring from Watrana Traction Company fell as the company's own fleet grew (DRHP p.63, DRHP p.349). The trademark authorisation from Watrana Traction Private Limited is dated April 5, 2025 (DRHP p.34).

20What the offer document does not say

Rental rates, average fleet in use during the year and revenue by equipment type are not disclosed, so growth cannot be split into volume and price. Revenue from aerial work platforms is not shown separately. Fleet utilisation is a management estimate, unverified. Contract tenure and renewal rates are not given.

The price and terms at which ₹2,521.01 lakh of machinery was bought from Watrana Traction Company, and the age of those machines, are not set out on the pages read. What makes up ₹1,381.53 lakh of other current assets is not explained in the summary statements. The age of receivables is not given. The general corporate purposes amount and the issue expenses are blank, and there is no price band.

Four inconsistencies are worth recording as document matters.
