Demand and your odds
How the book filled, and what that means for an application
38,44,190 applications received — how many people bid, as opposed to how much money did. Exchange figures as of 21 Jul 2026.
Retail is 43.4× subscribed. Allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so roughly 1 in 43.4 applications gets one lot. Bidding for extra lots does not improve these odds.
HNI is 281.99× subscribed. This category is allotted proportionately, so a bid receives roughly 1/282 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
The listed companies the offer document itself names as comparable.

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.

Nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation — read the offer document and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before applying.
