The offer was fully subscribed within the initial hours of opening. Investors have bought 6.8 crore equity shares against offer size of 1.17 crore shares, resulting in a 5.77 times subscription, as per the bulk deals data available on exchanges.
Retail investors and HNIs provided great support to the issue, buying 7.65 times and 9.03 times their allotted quota respectively, while the portion set aside for qualified institutional buyers (QIB) was subscribed 5 percent.
