Aditya Infotech lists at 51% premium on Tuesday
Aditya Infotech, the promoter of popular surveillance brand CP Plus, opened with a bang on the Indian exchanges today, August 5, 2025, as one of the most awaited listings this year in the IT and security solutions space. The IPO had already been in the limelight prior to the opening, with a price band of ₹640-675 per share and a lot size of 22 shares. Investors welcomed the issue with huge vigour, as the issue was oversubscribed an incredible 106 times, with participation by institutional and high-net-worth investors being especially strong. Anchor book allotment also drew marquee domestic and international investors, reflecting strong market faith in the company's direction.
The crushing demand is reflected in a phenomenal launch, with Aditya Infotech's shares opening at a 51% premium to the issue price, driven by a grey market premium above 45%. The majority of brokerages and analysts suggested subscribing to the issue on the basis of the company's leadership in the video surveillance space, diversified product portfolio, and the government-driven digital and security trends.
Aditya Infotech's fundamentals support its solid investor support. For FY25, the firm recorded revenue of more than ₹3,120 crore and net profit rose over 200% from last period to about ₹351 crore, driven partly by enhanced operating leverage as well as fair valuation of existing equity interests held. The firm holds a market share of close to 21% in the surveillance solutions market and is further growing its footprint across over 550 towns and cities, backed by a large distribution network.
IPO proceeds will primarily be utilized towards debt repayment and general corporate purposes, thereby providing Aditya Infotech further strength in its balance sheet for future growth. Market analysts further mention that the company has a business in a fast-growing industry, as video security becomes imperative for private and public companies alike—driven by digitisation, security awareness increases, and expansion in smart cities and residential complexes.
Although the company has a resilient leadership position with favourable industry winds, there are cautions from some analysts on dependence on suppliers and working capital needs, considering the capital-intensive sector. Nevertheless, with strong fundamentals, high growth margins, and an optimistic future, today's listing of Aditya Infotech is expected to be seen as one for the Indian IT sector and a good bet for long-term investors.
