The weak listing was largely in line with expectations in the unlisted market, where the stock commanded a negative grey market premium (GMP) ahead of its debut, indicating investors anticipated a discounted listing.
The Rs 883 crore public issue was priced at Rs 152 per share and comprised a fresh issue of Rs 661 crore along with an offer for sale worth Rs 222 crore. The company had also raised Rs 397.2 crore from anchor investors ahead of the IPO.
The issue received an overall subscription of 1.24 times, driven by institutional demand. The QIB portion was subscribed 1.63 times, while the retail category was booked 1.11 times. The non-institutional investor (NII) segment remained under-subscribed at 0.55 times.
