Brokerage firm Anand Rathi has given ‘subscribe for long-term’ rating to the Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases IPO, saying the company could perform well in the long run.
“ Profitability is improving, supported by a growing share of high-margin Argon gas and onsite projects, upcoming capacity additions in 2HFY26 are expected to further enhance profitability in FY26 and FY27. Therefore we believe since the issue is aggressively priced but with planned debt reduction and capacity addition the company could perform well over long run, so we give “SUBCRIBE FOR LONG TERM” rating for the issue,” the firm said in a note.
Brokerage firm Cholamandalam Securities has also issued ‘subscribe’ rating to the issue.
The brokerage estimates that the Indian industrial gases market will grow at a compound annual rate of 7.5%, surpassing ₹15,000 crore by 2028. This growth is expected to be fueled by government programs like 'Make in India' and rising demand from industries such as steel, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing. The company currently holds a 2.85% share of the ₹11,300 crore market, highlighting ample room for expansion.
Their strategy includes strengthening their presence in the underserved eastern and southern regions, with plans to expand into the northern and western parts of the country. Additionally, their move toward backward integration through in-house plant manufacturing is aimed at de-risking the growth outlook beyond FY26.
