Ecos India Mobility and Hospitality IPO

Ecos India Mobility and Hospitality's IPO shares continued to get healthy premium in the grey market despite being a full offer-for-sale issue, following the strong subscription data. It may be backed by the positive market conditions as the benchmark indices traded at record high levels.

According to the market observers, the IPO shares were available at around 40-45 percent premium in the grey market, an unofficial market wherein IPO shares can be bought and sold before the listing.

The Rs 601-crore initial public offering clocked 64.18 times subscription during August 28-30, with investors bidding 80.86 crore equity shares against the offer size of 1.26 crore shares. Qualified institutional buyers bid 136.85 times their allocated quota, followed by non-institutional investors, who picked 71.17 times the portion set aside for them. Retail investors also showed good interest in the issue, bidding 19.66 times their reserved portion.

Since it was entirely an offer-for-sale issue by the Loomba family, the company will not receive any IPO funds. The price band for the offer was Rs 318-334 per share.
