Rajputana Stainless, incorporated in 1991, manufactures long and flat stainless steel products used across various industries. For the six months ended September FY26, the company reported revenue of ₹501 crore and a profit after tax of ₹24.4 crore. In FY25, it posted revenue of ₹932 crore and a net profit of ₹40 crore.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the most likely date for share allocation, which is expected to be March 12, 2026. The IPO is proposed for listing on both the BSE and NSE, with the anticipated listing date on March 16, 2026.

Despite the positive outlook, the stainless steel industry remains cyclical and vulnerable to cheaper imports, making earnings sensitive to commodity price swings and demand cycles. Investors are advised to consider these factors when evaluating the IPO.

KFin Technologies has been appointed as the official registrar of the public issue, ensuring a streamlined process for potential investors.
