Retail38.81× subscribed
~1 in 38.8
Minimum 1 lot · 34 shares · ₹14,586 blocked

Retail is 38.81× subscribed. Allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so roughly 1 in 38.8 applications gets one lot. Bidding for extra lots does not improve these odds.

HNI / NII192.71× subscribed
~1 in 192.7
Minimum 14 lots · 476 shares · ₹2,04,204 blocked

HNI is 192.71× subscribed. This category is allotted proportionately, so a bid receives roughly 1/192.7 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.

Common questions

How many times is the ESDS Software Solution Limited IPO subscribed?

ESDS Software Solution Limited is subscribed 135.42× overall (QIB 261.51×, NII 192.71×, retail 38.81×). Subscription keeps changing until the issue closes; the final basis of allotment is published by the registrar, LINK.

What is the minimum investment in the ESDS Software Solution Limited IPO?

One lot is 34 shares, so a retail application at the ₹429 cut-off price blocks ₹14,586. Retail applications are capped at ₹2,00,000; above that you bid in the HNI category, where allotment is proportionate rather than by lottery.

What are the chances of allotment in the ESDS Software Solution Limited IPO?

The retail portion is subscribed 38.81×, so allotment is by lottery and the odds of receiving at least one lot are roughly 1 in 39. Applying for more lots does not improve the chance of getting something — every retail applicant competes for the same single minimum lot.

When is the ESDS Software Solution Limited IPO allotment date?

Allotment is scheduled for 2026-09-02, with listing on 2026-09-04. These dates are the issuer's tentative timetable — a date passing is not confirmation that the step completed. Allotment status is published by the registrar, LINK.

Disclaimer. Figures are compiled from the issuer's offer document and exchange-published bidding data. Subscription changes until the issue closes, and the final basis of allotment is published by the registrar. Grey-market premium is unofficial and is not a forecast.
