Retail investors subscribed 18.55 times, while non-institutional investors (NII) showed exceptional interest at 105.96 times.

The ₹459.72 crore IPO, with a price band of ₹168-177 per share, included a fresh issue of ₹250 crore and an offer for sale of ₹209.72 crore.

💭 If you're wondering…

In a fresh issue, new shares are created by the company and the money raised goes directly to the company for its business purposes, like funding expansion or debt repayment. In an offer for sale (OFS), existing shareholders sell their shares, and the money goes to those selling shareholders, not the company itself.
