India’s HD Fire Protect Pvt Ltd has officially filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), marking its entry into the public market. The fire protection solutions provider is set to launch an initial public offering (IPO) that will see existing shareholders offload up to 26.3 million equity shares.
Key highlights
- The IPO is structured entirely as an Offer for Sale (OFS), meaning no fresh capital will be raised by the company itself
- Promoters and early investors will divest their holdings, allowing new investors to participate in the company’s growth story
- HD Fire Protect specializes in manufacturing and supplying fire protection products such as sprinklers, valves, and accessories used in commercial, industrial, and residential infrastructure
- The company has a strong export footprint, with products shipped to over 75 countries, and is recognized for its compliance with global safety standards
- The IPO filing comes amid rising demand for fire safety infrastructure in India, driven by regulatory tightening and increased awareness across sectors
- Proceeds from the OFS will not go to the company but to selling shareholders, which include promoters and possibly institutional backers
- The DRHP has been submitted to SEBI and awaits regulatory approval before the IPO timeline is finalized
- Market analysts expect strong interest from institutional investors due to HD Fire Protect’s niche positioning and export-led growth model
This IPO signals a strategic shift for HD Fire Protect, offering liquidity to early stakeholders while inviting public participation in a sector poised for expansion.
