The IPO offered 4 million shares between ₹120 and ₹126. Investors really wanted them, placing bids for almost three times more shares than were available. Specifically, the people who aren’t big investors (non-institutional investors) were the biggest bidders.
On December 29th, the company decided who got shares, and investors are now waiting for the stock market to start trading. Before the listing, the company’s shares were trading strongly on the grey market, which isn’t an official stock market. This means shares were trading at ₹140.5 each, which is 11.5% higher than the highest price they were supposed to sell for.
The company will use the money from the IPO to pay back loans and to help with running costs. They plan to use ₹7 crore for paying off debts and ₹30.5 crore for day-to-day business expenses. The rest will be for general company business.
Bigshare Services is in charge of making sure the IPO rules are followed, and Hem Securities is helping to manage the sale of the shares. It’s important to remember that the information about the grey market is not always accurate and shouldn’t be the only thing investors look at when deciding whether to buy shares.
A strong initial response indicates investor confidence, but careful assessment is crucial for sustainable growth.
