Dairy IPO Opens: 5 Risks Every Retail Investor Must Know

Key Takeaways
Download the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) from SEBI's EDGAR portal and check the company's debt levels, profit margins, and promoter holding before applying.
Compare the IPO's P/E ratio against already-listed dairy and FMCG peers to judge whether the ₹140 price band is fairly valued or stretched.
Use only your UPI-linked savings account for the ASBA application — never apply through a third-party app that is not SEBI-registered to avoid UPI mandate fraud.
