Reasons not to invest in a Jiya Eco Products IPO


  • Bio-Fuel Production and Manufacturing is relatively new concept in India and is yet to have a defined market.
  • Company may face resistance to change from existing users of conventional fossil fuel.
  • Limited operating history and yet to achieve scalable operations.
  • Majorly concentrated from Gujarat and any adverse developments affecting such location could have impact on company revenues and margins.
  • No entry barriers in bio-fuel production market. This may attract new players to enter into market and they may pose competition to this company.
  • Company need to maintain high volume of wastes (raw material required for production) and any cyclone and heavy rainfall can cause significant damage to company.
  • Company has negative cash flows in last 3 years. This implies company borrowing money for high interest rates and its margins would get affected.
  • Company does not have long term contracts.

Recommendation / Investment strategy


  • At an issue price of Rs 19 and EPS for FY 2013-14 of Rs 3.25, P/E Ratio works out to be 5.85. At an issue price of Rs 19 and weighted average EPS of Rs 2.67, P/E Ratio works out to be 7.13.
  • Means, company is asking for share price where P/E ratio is between 5.85 to 7.13 There is no listed company exclusively in similar business, hence we cannot compare whether the share price is high or low. However, its NAV before the issue is 18.90 and after IPO issue, it would be 17.63. Hence, we can assume issue price is reasonably priced.
  • Jiya Eco Products Limited revenues show good improvement in last 3 years. Margins are also impressive. Considering risk factors indicated above, one can subscribe to this IPO. This unique business model can make this company successful and I hope investors of this IPO would enjoy good returns.

  1. Sir I have applied 3 application for jiya eco ipo. Should I will get listing gain above15 percent?

  2. My brokerage house is Kotak but in Live IPO section there is no IPO issue. How to buy Jiya Eco? Is there other way?

      1. Hi Suresh, I have a Trading account with Reliance money. Even I do not see any SME IPO listing in IPO section for applying. But I see that I can Trade, when the market open for these stocks. If I find any SME IPO as good, then I apply via SBI ASBA option. (SBI ASBA options is available only for BSE SME IPOs. It does not support NSE SME IPOs). If I get shares, They credit those shares in RMoney account and I can trade them there. I did this for ADCC Infocad and Filtra SME IPOs.

        After seeing the reviews, I applied for this IPO too.

        1. Some SME IPO’s are not being listed in ICICIdirect. We should have alternative like HDFC or SBI demat account where these are being listed for buying.

      1. Vaibhav, Like any other SME IPO, it has thin margin. However issue price is reasonably priced. High risk investors can look for investing in Majestic Research IPO

        1. I have alloted funny software. What should i do? It is regularly on lower cirkit. Pls help

          1. It is a mistake Vijay. I indicated in my article that we need to wait for an year to check its performance. Now investors who bought might be dumping. If you are high risk taker, you can wait for some more time, else book losses
