Issue at a glance

The issue is a book built offer listed on the NSE. The price band is Rs 1,065 to Rs 1,119 per equity share. It is a fresh issue of up to 27,00,00,000 equity shares.

The red herring prospectus (RHP) for the issue is the document to read for the objects of the issue and the risk factors. This page summarises the NSE issue details only.

Try it: IPO Lot Size and Minimum Investment Calculator lets you choose a number of lots and shows the amount at the upper band, with the Rs 2 lakh retail limit.

Lot size and minimum amount

Retail investors bid in whole lots. The amount for one lot is the lot size multiplied by the upper price band. The worked example below uses the same figures as the first paragraph, with the retail limit of Rs 2,00,000 per IPO applied to one retail application.

Key dates

Listing must happen within 3 working days of the close under SEBI's circular of 9 August 2023. Counting from the close on Friday, 23 October 2026, allotment falls on Monday, 26 October, refund on Tuesday, 27 October and listing on Wednesday, 28 October. The weekend of 24 and 25 October is skipped and our NSE holiday list has no exchange holiday in that run. The IPO Listing Date Calculator (T+3) runs the same count from any close date.

Grey market premium

Our latest stored grey market premium for this issue is Rs 250 per share. The grey market premium is an informal grey market quote, not set or regulated by the exchanges or SEBI, and it can differ widely from the listing price. We show the figure only while our stored quote is fresh, so a blank here means no fresh quote, not a view on the issue.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the lot size as the amount. The amount is the lot size multiplied by the price per share, and the upper band is the price the minimum amount is counted at.
  • Treating the listing date as fixed before the NSE notice. Our dates are counts of working days from the close.
  • Reading the grey market premium as a price forecast. It is an informal quote, not a prediction.
  • Skipping the RHP. The objects of the issue and the risk factors are in that document, not in this summary.
