Polymatech Electronics Plans ₹10,000 Crore IPO to Support Expansion and Product Development
IPO Plans
Polymatech Electronics is preparing to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) this year for an initial public offering (IPO) targeting approximately ₹10,000 crore to support its growth strategy.
Purpose of Fundraise
The company intends to use the IPO proceeds to expand manufacturing capacity in India and overseas and to shift from primarily a semiconductor chip producer to a broader electronics products company.
Valuation Guidance
Polymatech’s leadership is seeking a forward valuation of around ₹1 lakh crore, with merchant bankers currently being finalised for the offering.
Pre-IPO Funding
In parallel with the IPO process, the company is pursuing about $250 million in pre-IPO funding, and has attracted investor interest potentially up to $1 billion, with term sheets being finalised with global and domestic investors.
Previous IPO Effort
In 2023, Polymatech had filed draft papers for a smaller ₹750-crore IPO, but that attempt was postponed.
Business Focus
The company specialises in the design, fabrication, packaging, and assembly of opto-semiconductor chips. These components are used in applications such as medical electronics, lighting, agriculture, and food sanitisation.
Product Expansion
Polymatech has recently entered the medical devices sector, launching vein finder devices based on its proprietary near-infrared LED technology. It has obtained regulatory approval from India’s Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation and is pursuing European and US certifications for export markets.
Forward Integration Strategy
The company describes its move into product manufacturing as forward integration, not diversification. It plans to continue producing core components such as ingots, wafers, and semiconductor chips while adding new products.
Product Pipeline Goal
Polymatech aims to launch a new product approximately every six months, with each product expected to generate at least $1 billion in global revenue starting FY2026-27.
Revenue and Operations Footprint
Founded in 2018 with a ₹14-crore initial investment, Polymatech projects around ₹2,000 crore in turnover for FY2025. Its operations include advanced packaging in India and Singapore, testing in the US, PCB production in Estonia, wafer/ingot facilities in France, and a final assembly unit in Bahrain.
GaN Chip Facility in Chhattisgarh
The company is investing ₹1,143 crore in a new advanced semiconductor unit in Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh focused on gallium nitride (GaN) chips, which are key for 5G and future 6G networks.
