Avaada Electro has submitted updated draft papers to the Securities and Exchange Board of India for an initial public offering [IPO, a company's first sale of stock to the public] valued at ₹7,600 crore.
The proposed public issue consists of a fresh issue [new shares issued by a company to raise capital] worth ₹1,600 crore alongside an offer for sale [OFS, existing shareholders sell their shares; no new money reaches the company] of ₹6,000 crore by promoter Avaada Ventures.
Out of the fresh issue proceeds, ₹1,200 crore will be allocated toward repaying or prepaying specific loans and meeting letter of credit obligations.
The company originally filed confidential draft IPO papers through the pre-filing route in October 2025 and gained regulatory clearance in April 2026.
As of July 2026, the enterprise sustains 8.5 gigawatts of active solar panel production capacity alongside 3 gigawatts of running tunnel oxide passivated contact cell facilities.
Operational facilities are located in Dadri in Uttar Pradesh and Nagpur in Maharashtra.
For fiscal year 2026, the company posted revenue from operations of ₹5,303.52 crore and a profit after tax of ₹888.74 crore.
Book-running lead managers for the issue include ICICI Securities, Axis Capital, BofA Securities India, HSBC Securities, SBI Capital Markets, and IIFL Capital Services.

The firm scaled down its IPO target from an earlier potential figure of ₹10,000 crore following valuation and concentration discussions with prospective investors.
A significant portion of the company's revenue is derived from group affiliate Avaada Energy, creating concentration risks noted during preliminary investor interactions.
The offering coincides with a broader shift in retail investor capital toward secondary-market equities across India's primary market.
