About CMR Green Technologies

CMR Green Technologies is India’s largest non-ferrous metal recycling company by installed capacity and was the market leader in the domestic secondary aluminium segment in FY25, according to an ICRA report cited in its draft prospectus.

The company operates 13 manufacturing facilities across India, producing recycled aluminium alloys, billets, zinc alloy ingots and other value-added products. It is also a key player in the automotive cast alloy market, with an estimated 42%-45% share.

CMR Green is positioned to benefit from rising global demand for sustainable, low-carbon manufacturing. Recycled aluminium production generates significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than primary aluminium and requires lower capital expenditure, the ICRA report noted.

In FY25, the company reported operating revenue of Rs 6,666 crore, up 12% year-on-year, while profit stood at Rs 155 crore, reversing a loss in FY24 driven largely by a one-time goodwill impairment.

Ahead of the IPO, the company raised Rs 188 crore from anchor investors, attracting a mix of domestic mutual funds, insurers and foreign institutional investors.

Analysts have offered mixed views on the issue.

Motilal Oswal highlighted CMR Green’s leadership in aluminium recycling, strong market share and exposure to long-term decarbonisation and sustainability themes. It also pointed to growth opportunities in segments such as extrusion and rolled alloys.

Swastika Investmart assigned a “Neutral” rating, noting that valuations of around 27x FY25 earnings appear reasonable versus peers, while acknowledging the company’s strong industry positioning.

However, it flagged risks including the pure OFS structure, customer concentration, dependence on a few key clients and relatively thin margins. It added that high-risk investors may consider the IPO primarily for listing gains.

The IPO comes amid sustained investor interest in manufacturing and sustainability-linked businesses, particularly those tied to recycling, resource efficiency and the circular economy.
