Price Band And Issue Size Clean Max Enviro Energy IPO is a Rs 3,100-crore issue comprising Rs 1,200 crore fresh issue and Rs 1,900 crore offer for sale. The price band is Rs 1,000-Rs 1,053 per share and minimum retail investment is Rs 14,742 for one lot of 14 shares. Shree Ram Twistex IPO is a much smaller Rs 110.24-crore fresh issue priced at Rs 95-Rs 104 per share. Retail investors need Rs 14,976 to apply for one lot of 144 shares. Grey Market Premium (GMP) Clean Max Enviro’s GMP stood at (-)Rs 3, implying an estimated listing price of Rs 1,050, suggesting negative listing. Shree Ram Twistex GMP was Rs 16.5, indicating an estimated listing price of Rs 120.5, or about 15.87% potential upside. Both companies will be listed on BSE and NSE on March 2. Business Positioning Clean Max is India’s largest commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy service provider with roughly 8% market share. Analysts note the segment has a potential market size of about Rs 3 lakh crore as corporates — which consume nearly half of India’s electricity — increasingly shift toward green energy. Shree Ram Twistex operates in the textile sector as a cotton yarn manufacturer serving B2B markets. Industry estimates suggest India’s textile sector could grow from about $174 billion to $350 billion by 2030, driven by exports, sustainability trends and policy support. Analysts’ Views SBI Securities highlighted Clean Max’s capital-efficient model and relatively low leverage, but noted the IPO is valued at EV/EBITDA of about 21.7x (FY25) and 16.3x (annualised 1HFY26). Aditya Birla Capital said, “At the upper price-band, the issue is valued at 16x EV/Ebitda, which according to us, is expensive," though it assigned a ‘Subscribe for long-term’ rating citing industry growth visibility. For Shree Ram Twistex, Swastika Investmart said valuation at around 29-30x P/E already factors in most future growth and advised investors seeking listing gains to avoid the issue. Master Capital Services noted investors may consider it as a long-term opportunity given sector growth prospects. Use Of Proceeds Clean Max will use Rs 1,125 crore from fresh proceeds to repay debt, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. Shree Ram Twistex will deploy proceeds for business expansion and operational requirements as it is entirely a fresh issue. Which IPO Looks Better? For listing gains, Shree Ram Twistex currently shows stronger grey market sentiment and investor traction. Clean Max, on the other hand, has stronger QIB participation but muted GMP, suggesting institutional conviction but limited short-term listing pop expectations. For long-term investors, both issues are being viewed positively but with valuation caution. Clean Max offers exposure to the fast-growing renewable C&I power segment, while Shree Ram Twistex provides a play on India’s expanding textile exports and domestic demand.
