Demand and your odds
How the book filled, and what that means for an application
41,18,591 applications received — how many people bid, as opposed to how much money did. Exchange figures as of 07 Aug 2026.
Retail is 47.77× subscribed. Allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so roughly 1 in 47.8 applications gets one lot. Bidding for extra lots does not improve these odds.
HNI is 266.75× subscribed. This category is allotted proportionately, so a bid receives roughly 1/266.8 of the shares applied for, subject to the minimum-lot draw.
Derived from SEBI's allotment mechanics and the subscription figures beside it. Retail allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so applying for more lots does not improve your chance of getting something.

Lot size alone does not answer "how much do I need" — an S-HNI minimum is several lots, not one.
Anchors are institutional money placed a day before bidding opens, against a lock-in. Those two dates are when that stock can first be sold — a supply event worth knowing if you still hold.

How the issuer compares

Blank cells are figures the offer document does not publish. An unlisted issuer has no market price, so it has no price-based multiple until it lists — which is exactly why the comparison is against companies that already trade. The peer set is the issuer's own selection, so read it as the flattering-est comparison available rather than a neutral one.
