According to a report by GEPL Capital, the company source approximately 15%-20% of their raw material requirements through their own farming efforts. Their in-house farming and association with their associate farmers enable reliable and uninterrupted supply of raw shrimp.
All their operational facilities are located in proximity to one another, thereby enabling smooth transition of products to each stage of the product life cycle. Their facility is approximately 20Kms from Kakinada port and approximately 150Kms from Vishakapatnam port,thereby providing a substantial logistical advantage for the transport of their finished product.
The Company has numerous ponds situated in a total extent of 1,337.69 acres with 105.78 acres of owned land and 1,231.91 acres of leased land. This farming at their ponds allows them to procure raw materials and ensures that their business of shrimp processing is cost effective.
Giving it a thumbs-up, the report said, "Apex Frozen Foods Limited stands to gain from operating leverage. At a P/E of 17.20xs of FY17 Earning. We believe that Apex demands a discount to its domestic peers. We assign a Subscribe rating to the IPO."
SPA Securities in a note said that the stock is available at P/E of 22.4 times based on FY17 earnings, which is justified considering the company’s strong execution capability, healthy international customer base, strong R&D focus, farms in favourable coastal belt, low net debt equity, increased value added proportion and expanding global reach.
Brokerage Nirmal Bang has a subscribe rating on the issue. “We like the business model of the company given its high asset turnover, customer stickiness and integrated business operations. At upper price band of Rs 175, the issue looks attractive and hence recommends investors to subscribe it for listing and long term gains.”

Please do not apply further . . . instead lodge a complaint with bank call center . . . they will help you out . . .
Same problem occurred for cochin with axis so i called axis bank and they assured me it will resolve and asked not to apply as it has been already applied . . .
