GNA Axles and Happy Forgings both promoters began manufacturing vehicle transmission axles around same time in 1980s from the same location Ludhiana. Axles are low value-added auto components in the vehicle transmission. GNA Axles issued IPO shares at 207 in September 2016. So, any issue price above 450 considering the current heated market will be expensive for Happy forgings in my view. Rest left to the market frenzy and individual investor's euphoria.
