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.

Demand and your odds
How the book filled, and what that means for an application
2,893 applications received — how many people bid, as opposed to how much money did. Exchange figures as of 13 Aug 2026.
Retail is 2.62× subscribed. Allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so roughly 1 in 2.6 applications gets one lot. Bidding for extra lots does not improve these odds.
HNI is 2.17× subscribed. This category is allotted proportionately, so a bid receives roughly 1/2.2 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.

Total issue 31,14,000 shares. Indented rows sit inside the category above them and are not added to it.
Lot size alone does not answer "how much do I need" — an S-HNI minimum is several lots, not one.

How the issuer compares
The listed companies the offer document itself names as comparable.
| Company | EPS | P/E | NAV | RoNW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sham Foam Limitedthis issue | 10.33 | 12.58 | 25.21 | 40.97% |
| Sheela Foam Limited | 5.00 | 64.50 | 266.69 | 4.48% |
| Wakefit Innovations Ltd | 1.00 | 21.22 | 343.00 | 22.90% |
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.

Common questions
How many times is the Sham Foam IPO subscribed?

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.
