The Initial Public Offering (IPO) for INDO SMC, a company valued at ₹91.95 crore, is nearing its end. The subscription period, which started on January 13th and concludes today, January 16th, has been an enormous success. Investors have shown incredible enthusiasm, with the IPO being oversubscribed by more than 17 times.

This means that investors have placed bids for significantly more shares than the company initially offered. The IPO was priced between ₹141 and ₹149 per share, and you needed at least 2,000 shares to participate. A total of 7,57,67,000 shares were bid for, compared to the company’s initial offering of just 44,15,000 shares.

Different groups of investors reacted differently. People who weren’t big institutional investors (like large investment companies) wanted the shares the most—they oversubscribed their portion by 21.95 times. Regular investors also really liked it, oversubscribing by 18.29 times. While large investment companies were less interested, they still bid for their shares (10.31 times).

This strong interest isn’t just visible in the official market; it’s also seen in the ‘grey market.’ The grey market is an unofficial place where shares are traded before they’re listed on the main stock exchange. Shares of INDO SMC were trading at ₹181 each, which means they were worth 21.48 percent more than the price the IPO was initially offering. This suggests investors expect the stock to do well when it’s officially listed.

The money raised from this IPO will be used to buy new machines and equipment for the company. A portion will also be used to cover day-to-day operating costs and for general business expenses. KFIN Technologies is managing the IPO registration, and GYR Capital Advisors is in charge of selling the shares.

The IPO involves selling 6.2 million new shares. There are no leftover shares being sold (no “Offer for Sale” component), as stated in the company’s detailed plan. Investors can buy a minimum of 2,000 shares, and each share costs between ₹141 and ₹149. To buy 2,000 shares, you’d need ₹2,98,000.

The company expects to list its shares on the BSE SME platform around January 20, 2026. Investors can expect to receive their shares in their bank accounts by January 19, 2026.
