Every line above is arithmetic on a figure shown elsewhere on this page - no model, no opinion. It describes the quality of the offering as disclosed, and is pulled toward neutral to reflect how much the document leaves unsaid. It is not a prediction of the listing price, and it is not advice to apply.

Chance of allotment
Retail2.78× subscribed
~1 in 2.8

Retail is 2.78× subscribed. Allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so roughly 1 in 2.8 applications gets one lot. Bidding for extra lots does not improve these odds.

HNI / NII6.82× subscribed
~1 in 6.8

HNI is 6.82× subscribed. This category is allotted proportionately, so a bid receives roughly 1/6.8 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.

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.

Past issues are context, not a forecast — this issue is a different company at a different price. We show it because "how have issues like this one actually opened" is a question with a real answer, and grey-market premium is not that answer.

Common questions

How many times is the Lohia Corp Limited IPO subscribed?

Lohia Corp Limited is subscribed 7.26× overall (QIB 9.11×, NII 6.82×, retail 2.78×). Subscription keeps changing until the issue closes; the final basis of allotment is published by the registrar.

What are the chances of allotment in the Lohia Corp Limited IPO?

The retail portion is subscribed 2.78×, so allotment is by lottery and the odds of receiving at least one lot are roughly 1 in 3. Applying for more lots does not improve the chance of getting something — every retail applicant competes for the same single minimum lot.

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