RHP page 27, 254 & 255 refers about Custom duty litigations of Rs. 81.34 Cr. alleging that Tunwal misdeclared pre-assembled e-bikes & scooters as spare parts in order to avoid paying higher import duties and its splitting consignments to multiple ports to circumvent import tariff for the period of May17-Mar19.
This litigation amount of Rs. 81.34 Cr is 7x of their Mar24 annual profit of Rs. 11.81 Cr.
There must be some major red flag due to which there's no Anchor and QIB quota, even though the valuation looks attractive for this EV space company, I'm not applying due to bad experience in the past with the similar setup (Spectrum Talent).
@k l patel There is no direct shareholding between both the companies apart from common Shareholders/Directors.
Also, last 3 years Financial statements for all group companies (incl. Tunwal E-vehicle) is available on their website www.tunwal.com (under investor relations/group co FS)
Apparently, the Sales/business of Tunwal E-vehicle has Tunwal E-vehicle to Tunwal Motors (for IPO) considering this Customs litigation (FY19) of Rs. 81cr.
Happy to stand corrected!

@RJDB yes in RHP its given --- As on the date of this Prospectus, there are no subsidiaries of our Company.
My assumption, looking at the Financial statements of both the group companies, is that the Promoters have shifted their EV Business/Revenue from Tunwal E-vehicle to Tunwal Motors in the last 2-3 years due to the Customs litigation for bringing this IPO.
@PLAZA@Tejas Pandya@rohiitian@M Gupta and other members having HUF accounts. Do you file separate IT return for HUF or club it in your personal income ?
In my case, HUF doesn't have any other income apart from STCG from IPOs and interest from savings account. The source of funds for my HUF is my salary income only.

@GrayIsTheNewBlack One has to file separate IT return if taxable income in form 2 of income tax for HUF where you can show stcg and sb interest in other source and take benefit of additional 250000 in huf hand . I.e. no tax upto 250000 . This income is exclusively of huf and can't club in individual irrespective the amount given by coparcener of huf to HUF .Hope it clarify.
@PLAZA Sir, In my case, I don't have any business. So, whatever money is used in HUF for bHNI application source is my salary only. By law I cannot gift more than 2.5 lakhs annualy to HUF. Hence, the question.
Seperate return is anyways beneficial for me as the tax outgo would be far less than the case of income clubbing to my income. Just that, I'm not sure how to show the source of income for HUF in case of scrutiny.

@GrayIsTheNewBlack There is no such law as far I knew . But more precisely any member of huf can give interest free loan to huf or make corpus by giving amount . Business income is not necessary for huf . Huf can generate income from other sources like interest stcg rent except salary or professional income etc and create capital.

@GrayIsTheNewBlack 1. You can accept any amount as a gift from non-members and members. There is no limit. However, all gifted income above 50K will be taxable as per the tax slab in the hand of HUF (income from other sources). 2. The best option is to take a zero-interest loan from either of the HUF co-pars or karta. Try not to do too many transactions ie. keep the loan amount for a moderate period say 1-2 years. There is no clubbing provision in the case of a loan. 3. Maintain a track (excel etc.) of the money you are transferring to and from HUF (in case of some reconciliation). 4. You have to file ITR for your HUF mandatorily.
zero interest loans are frowned upon by income tax officers & may be rejected also. its better to take loans at prevailing interest rates. salary income of a member of huf (if added to huf) will definately invoke clubbing provisions.
All their e-scooter has top speed of 25 kmph. Seems their battery capacity is lower and so their product price compared to top e-scooter manufactures. So I think it can not be compared with valuation of those brands. Also with top speed of 25 mph, their customer segment will be different who may be comuting in 5-10 km radius. If I can not get speed of 60 kmph, I may get bored if I need to regularly commute more than 5 km.
Can other people give their thoughts if there can be growth in this segment (e-scooter with top speed 25 kmph)?

1. The speed limit for e-scooters can vary depending on local regulations and jurisdictions. In many places, the speed limit for e-scooters is capped at around 15 to 20 miles per hour (24 to 32 kilometers per hour). Some cities may have lower speed limits for e-scooters to ensure safety, especially in areas with heavy pedestrian traffic or narrow pathways. 2. In many places, e-scooters do not require a special license to operate. They are often treated similarly to bicycles in terms of licensing requirements.

In India there is huge market for low quality products. Here Hawkins/prestige bhi bikta hai aur ek local brand cooker bhi. Apple bhi hai aur MI/REALME bhi. Sony bhi hai aur BPL bhi. OLA/ATHER/I QUBE hai aur JOY/TUNWAL/UJAAS bhi.
Electronics is my expertise and held some eBIKES 10-12 years back Other than big brands like tvs,bajaj,hero and ola ,all second and third categories companies like tunwal,joy etc etc are importing raw materials like battery, motors controller and smaller parts from CHINA , some of them are importing whole bike and assemble here . Only thing is dealers network and services. These low quality bikes are not so efficient in raining and rural road conditions. But somehow i found tunwal bikes are seen in urban as well as rural areas in my district and where I visited in Gujarat state. It makes me feel apply in IPO that they have something extra. Add to that,tunwal bikes are low speed and low average backups so doesn't need RTO registeration and licence to ride and very cost effective in a way very popular in teenagers and ladies. Applied here Not an advice just thoughts

@harit Thanks for details. Seems It can be applied for some listing gain, but listing loss can not be ruled out as size is big with no QIB/Anchor. I think holding for long term may be risky.

Long term performance depends on how they have after sales service. Especially battery life and performance.
Tunwal dealers are happy ans Customer feed back is also Enouraging
Tunwal deals into Three items 1 is e Wheel chair 2 below 25 km speed mainly cater rural india even they have many order from GOI 3 E SCOOTER which runs around 50kmpl These popular in Cities and used By modern day Delivery and Young People
They have Great Product seen on road
It's a Good IPO for Long term Even Ola will give a Greay Boost
Good Short term Gain Expeted Last years sales 20K + This year Q1 shows 12000+
I see that out of the total funds raised, 16 cr go towards IPO proceeds. Doesn't this sound too much, and that too without any QIB and anchor investors ?
:35 Cr for working capital :20 Cr for general corporate purposes : 5 cr for R&D - only 5 cr ??? : 5 cr for inorganic growth
Looks like they have no plans how to utilise the IPO funds, and just somehow showing the usage. They have 12 Cr debt which has not been addressed.
and promoters are diluting 35% stake. Why would they dilute so much without any clear plan for funds usage ?
@lokes Ji apply karna he ya nahi pls your veiw on this

@Nitin oswal i am applying 3-4 retails applications here......listing may be positive or negative also due to big issue size mainly and avg LM and good enough ofs part, but if it goes down on listing or later then it looks good to add on corrections , for holding some months or longer, as per its business type and future growth expectations.
No internal news only analysis. For example : Look at the gmp of prizor/aelea Source chittorgarh site Opening day gmp 55 66 Before closing gmp 43 47 After closing gmp 115 75 This can be only by manipulation by big operators.
Ola market cap 58000 cr Loss making 2 lacs unit sell last yr
Tunnwl market cap 368 cr Profit making Sold 20000 unit last yr
Good valuation So if we take Ola value It's way cheap xan easily see 1000 cr market cap fir 18 Cr profit coming.... Company see 30% growth in this space
No qib portion and gmp declining day by day. I am very confused if we should apply in retail category in full force. I have seen their e bikes in delhi and they are quite popular. But IPO size is quite big and that too without anchors that lost some trust.
According to me, HNI category will not subscribe above 6,400 Cr. (i.e. Sahaj funds availability) which will be maximum ~120x (HNI). You may either go for 2 apps of the same lot size (i.e odd lots of 36x2/ 37x2/ 38x2/ 39x2) or 1 app of 72/73/74/77/78/79 and 1 retail. This should give you maximum chances of allotment.
Hope you've done your analysis considering no Anchor, LM past performance and the issue size.
I have been using equitas Small finance bank for applying for IPOs in my account,in HUF account and in Minor's account. But we dont have linked FD facility here for applying for IPOs. This is one of the biggest disadvatge.

Tunwal LM & Owners after looking at retail subscription - "Faltu mein tension le rahe the 115 Cr ka IPO bharega ki nahi, ab lagta hai aur bhi bada OFS karna chahiye tha" @MuStrFc@rohiitian
@Diligent IPO Learner Bhai, the GMP I'm getting from the broker is very different from what is shown on CG page. CG page is showing 30 Rs but I'm not getting any quotes above 10/11 for buying.

😆😆 1000 cr SME IPO will also be subscribed in 5 mins, just need to have a running GMP@GrayIsTheNewBlack
@rohiitian the only big problem in Tunwal is NO anchor/QIB for this big a size. Bet that most of the retail as well as HNI apply only for listing gains (approx 80%). Hence expecting severe selling pressure on listing from allottees if demand (from ultra HNI's) is not there.
The issue is in itself a red flag without QIB and achors. Had there been QIB and anchors, atleast to some extent the intent of institutions would have been known. In the absence of them, with this big a size, not easy to manipulate like other small sized issues.

That unverified 5 lakh minimum bid rumour is also adding fuel to fire as people are thinking there can be changes any time, plus Tunwal is bigger in size, so capitalise on current IPOs. @GrayIsTheNewBlack@rohiitian
@MuStrFc I guess that was just an editorial piece, no real evidence available that SEBI actually is pondering on this. The misinformation was spread by Chacha (if you know him) and given the following he has it has spread rather quickly in the IPO circles.
