The overall issue was subscribed 120.61 times. QIB portion was subscribed 185.90 times, HNI portion was subscribed 259.83 times and Retail portion was subscribed 23.64 times. There were 28.02 lac applications and on basis of lots, Retail portion was subscribed 19.95 times.

The traded volume on the two exchanges combined was 145.36 lac shares which was 1.41 times the IPO size of 102.74 lac shares and 2.00 times the non-anchor portion of 72.58 lac shares. Delivery volume was 49.91 lac shares which was 34.34 % of the traded volume. It was 48.59 % of the issue size and 68.78 % of the non-anchor portion. The weighted average of the day’s trade was Rs 806.67 on BSE and Rs 803.17 on NSE.

In terms of institutional or bulk trade, none were reported on either BSE or NSE. The traded volumes were decent and in comparison, the delivery volumes were poor. That probably explains the fact why the share was under pressure in the last 45 minutes of trade and lost significant ground. This was yet another share where the leveraged investor/HNI lost out as the cost of funding was far higher than the closing price. The average cost of funding was Rs 235 which meant the share should have traded at Rs 820. While it did open higher than this price, it failed to sustain there and continuously fell from these levels.

A decent listing on day one with appreciation for retail investors. Leveraged HNI has lost out on more issue and one wonders what drives their decision to borrow and invest in IPO’s.
