• MPTL is the Highway Operations and Maintenance related service provider.
• It has posted growth in its financial performance for the reported periods.
• The counter is quoting below the RI price on BSE and raises eyebrows.
• There is no harm in skipping this pricey RI as it's a high-risk/low-return bet.

It came with an IPO of Rs. 40 cr. at a fixed price of Rs. 78 per share and was subscribed by 2.18 times. Now with the changed name it is coming with a RI to mobilize Rs. 49.86 cr. and has priced it very aggressively.

Its current holding levels of Inventories (29 days), Trade Receivables (114 days), and Trade payables (128 days) are assumed to come down to 15 days, 93 days, and 42 days respectively, but its receivable and payable levels raise major concern.
