Seemax Resources Limited

1. Overview

Seemax Resources Limited is a Vadodara-headquartered Material Handling Equipment (MHE) solutions provider operating an integrated rental-plus-trading business model. The company was originally incorporated on February 4, 2015 as Seemax Automotive Solutions Private Limited, renamed Seemax Resources Private Limited in 2018, and converted into a public limited company on November 12, 2024.

The business is structured around two verticals: (i) Rental Solutions for MHE — backed by AMC-led maintenance contracts, preventive servicing, on-call technical support and deployment of trained operators; and (ii) Trading in MHE — sale of new equipment sourced under authorised dealership arrangements with reputed global manufacturers. The rental vertical is the dominant revenue contributor.

The company serves a wide industrial cross-section — automotive, steel, cement, glass, textiles, engineering goods, warehousing & logistics, retail & e-commerce, ports & shipping, construction & infrastructure, aviation and railways. As of December 31, 2025, the rental fleet comprises 97 owned MHE units (battery forklifts, diesel forklifts, Hydra cranes, BOPTs and reach trucks), serving 67 active customers with 198 employees on the rolls.

Operations remain geographically concentrated in Gujarat (97.25% of stub-period revenue) and customer-concentrated (top 5 customers = 56.19% of stub revenue; top 10 = 79.72%).

2. Business Model and Revenue Streams

The company operates a dual-revenue model with rental income as the primary engine and equipment trading as a complementary stream.

Activity-wise Revenue Contribution

The mix has decisively shifted toward rental income over the last three years — from 65.68% of operations in FY23 to 94.71% in FY25 — reflecting deliberate strategic emphasis on annuity-style, AMC-backed rental contracts over one-off trading. The trading vertical, while still active, has become incremental.

Geographic Revenue Concentration

Gujarat dominates the revenue mix, contributing ~94–97% in every reporting period. Outside Gujarat, only nominal Silvassa volumes are recorded; export-to-SEZ has declined materially from 6.37% in FY24 to 0.93% in stub-period FY26.

Customer Concentration (% of Revenue from Operations)

Customer concentration is structurally high. The top 10 customers contributed ~80% of revenue across all periods, with the top single customer alone accounting for 22–26%. Stub-period figures show modest dilution at the top end (top-3 share down from 52.74% in FY25 to 43.63%), but the base remains narrow.

Supplier Concentration

The supplier base mirrors the customer concentration risk — top 2 suppliers contributed 65.21% of purchases in the stub period (33.51% + 31.70%); the top 10 contributed 89.22%. The company relies on authorised dealership tie-ups with reputed global MHE manufacturers, which underpins quality and brand assurance but creates third-party dependency.

Contract / Pricing Model

The rental model is structured around multi-year AMC-bundled deployment contracts rather than pure equipment hire. Revenue is generated through (i) rental charges, (ii) manpower deployment fees, and (iii) additional services (spare parts, on-site maintenance, after-hours support). For trading, revenue is realised on transactional sales with after-sales support packages as a recurring tail.

Industry-Specific Operating Metrics

Per RHP Basis for Issue Price KPI table — Business Overview separately discloses fleet of 97 MHE units as of Dec 31, 2025; figures may reflect different deployment cuts.

The fleet has grown ~44% (57 → 82 units) from FY23 to FY25, supporting scale-up of the rental business. Headcount has nearly 1.4x'd over the same period.

3. Products and Service Portfolio

Rental Solutions Vertical (Primary Revenue Driver)

The rental fleet, as of December 31, 2025, comprises 97 owned-and-operated MHE units across the following categories:

• Battery Forklifts — for warehouse and indoor handling applications, zero-emission operations.
• Diesel Forklifts — for outdoor, heavy-duty environments and construction sites.
• Hydra Cranes — for medium-duty lifting and material movement in ports, construction and infrastructure.
• Battery-Operated Pallet Trucks (BOPTs) — for high-throughput logistics and warehousing.
• Reach Trucks — for narrow-aisle warehouse operations with vertical reach requirements.

The rental offering is bundled rather than bare-lease: each contract integrates AMC-backed maintenance, preventive servicing schedules, on-call technical support, and the deployment of trained operators. The company emphasises this as a differentiator versus plain-vanilla equipment lessors.

Trading Vertical (Complementary Stream)

Trading revenue is sourced from new MHE units procured under authorised dealership agreements with global manufacturers. The company supplies both standard catalogue equipment and customised solutions tailored to dimensional, operational or industry-specific client requirements. After-sales support — maintenance packages, spare parts supply and periodic servicing — extends the customer relationship beyond the initial sale.

Capacity & Capacity Utilization

The company explicitly states that it does not have any manufacturing capacity as it operates in the equipment rental and trading business; standard manufacturing-style capacity utilization metrics are therefore not applicable.

IT Infrastructure

Operations are supported by an in-house developed software system that tracks maintenance schedules, monitors real-time operational status of deployed equipment, and enables operators to raise maintenance tickets for swift technical response. Digital HR and workflow systems manage employee data with secured access controls.

4. Key Business Strengths

• Comprehensive Rental Solutions with Value-Added Services — The company's bundled offering of equipment, AMC-backed maintenance, preventive servicing and trained operators positions it as an MHE solutions partner rather than a bare equipment lessor, supporting higher contract stickiness and pricing resilience.
• Skilled and Dedicated Workforce — A structured training framework and emphasis on retention has built a 198-strong team (as of Dec 31, 2025) with technical depth in equipment handling, safety protocols and site-specific procedures.
• Quality Assurance through Structured Training Framework — Periodic refresher and need-based training sessions, in-house induction programs and adherence to evolving industry safety standards underpin consistent service delivery and minimal downtime at customer sites.
• Experienced Promoters and Senior Management — Mr. Amit Naldev Trivedi brings over 30 years of MHE industry experience in supply chain, logistics, procurement and EXIM management; supported by Mrs. Seema Trivedi (~13 years).
• Authorised Dealership Network — Tie-ups with reputed international MHE manufacturers ensure that supplied equipment is certified for international quality and safety standards, reinforcing brand credibility and customer confidence.

5. Future Growth Strategy

• Geographic Expansion Beyond Gujarat — Targeted entry into high-growth corridors outside the home state to address the Gujarat concentration risk (97.25% of stub revenue) and expand the addressable market.
• Deepen Existing Client Relationships and Drive Referrals — Continued emphasis on timely service delivery, senior-management engagement with key clients, and feedback-led operational improvements to grow repeat business and referral-based new accounts.
• Fleet Expansion and Network Growth — ₹10 Cr of the Net Proceeds (largest object) is earmarked for purchase of additional MHE units (Hyundai-make 3T, 5T and 2T electric forklifts), enabling broader geographic coverage, faster turnaround and customisation flexibility.
• Enhance Value-Added Services and Operational Efficiency — Strengthening AMC-backed maintenance, preventive servicing and operator training while pursuing cost optimisation through scale, technology adoption and streamlined operations to sustain margin resilience.
• Workforce Development for Sustainable Growth — Continued investment in training, skill development and retention of a safety-conscious technical workforce, recognised by management as a critical operating-leverage lever.
