Key Points
- Midwest IPO opens October 15, 2025.
- Shares can be bought between ₹1,014 and ₹1,065.
- Minimum purchase: 14 shares per application.
- IPO closes October 17, 2025 for subscription.

- Company uses funds for new plants and equipment.
The IPO involves two parts: a new share issue worth ₹250 crore and an offer for existing shareholders to sell their shares (called an “Offer for Sale” or OFS) worth ₹201 crore. Kollareddy Rama Raghava Reddy and Guntaka Ravindra Reddy started the company, and they are the ones selling their shares as part of the IPO.
Before the IPO, the company already raised ₹135 crore from wealthy investors called “anchor investors.” These investors bought 1.26 million shares at the highest price offered in the IPO, which was ₹1,065 per share. This helps give investors a better idea of how the stock might perform.
The money raised from the IPO will be used in several ways. Roughly ₹130.3 crore will go towards building a new quartz processing plant, and around ₹25.8 crore will be used to buy electric dump trucks. A smaller amount, ₹3.3 crore, will be used to install solar power at the company’s mines.
The IPO is managed by several financial companies, including Kfin Technologies (the registrar), DAM Capital Advisors, and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors. Analysts have a mixed view, with some recommending a “Neutral” rating (meaning it’s neither particularly good nor bad) and others suggesting investors “Avoid” the IPO because they believe the company’s shares are overvalued compared to similar companies.
Investors can apply for shares through a lot size of 14 shares. The subscription window closes on October 17, 2025, and the company is expected to list its shares on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on October 24, 2025.
