The QIB portion (net of anchor allocation as explained above) had a quota of 106.65 lakh shares of which it has got bids for 1,316.80 lakh shares at the close of Day-3, implying a subscription ratio of 12.35X for QIBs at the close of Day-3. QIB bids typically get bunched on the last day and while the heavy demand for the anchor placement had given an indication of the institutional appetite for the Sai Silks (Kalamandir) Ltd IPO subscription overall, the actual demand did turn to be quite modest for the IPO.
Subscription status of HNI / NII Portion
The HNI portion got subscribed 2.47X (getting applications for 206.25 lakh shares against the quota of 83.47 lakh shares). That is a relatively modest response at the close of Day-3 largely because this segment normally sees the maximum response bunched on the last day. Bulk of the funded applications and corporate applications, come in on the last day of the IPO, and that was not exactly visible as the overall HNI / NII portion saw meagre addition on the last day. Apart from the QIB portion, HNI portion also got subscribed on last day only.
Now the NII/HNI portion is reported in two parts viz. bids below ₹10 lakhs (S-HNI) and bids above ₹10 lakhs (B-HNI). The bids above the ₹10 lakh category (B-HNIs) typically represents most of the major funding customers. If you break up the HNI portion, the above ₹10 lakh bid category got subscribed 2.95X while the below ₹10 lakh bid category (S-HNIs) got subscribed 1.52X. This is just for information and is already part of the overall HNI bids explained in the previous para.
Subscription status of Retail Individuals
The retail portion was subscribed just 0.88 times; which means just 88% of the retail quota got subscribed at the close of Day-3, showing relatively tepid appetite. It must be noted that retail allocation is 35% in this IPO. For retail investors; out of the 194.75 lakh shares on offer, valid bids were received for only 171.53 lakh shares, which included bids for 140.74 lakh shares at the cut-off price. The IPO is priced in the band of (₹210 to ₹222) and has closed for subscription as of the close of Friday, 22nd September 2023.
