Annu Projects' Rs 175-crore IPO was subscribed 2.93 times on its closing day, led by non-institutional investors. The NII portion saw 3.55 times subscription, retail 2.68 times, and QIB 1.72 times, according to The Hindu Business Line.
The company, which offers overhead and underground utilities infrastructure services, set a price band of Rs 94-99 per share. Proceeds will fund working capital, machinery, and general corporate purposes.
The grey market premium (GMP) for the IPO was Rs 3, indicating an estimated listing price of Rs 102, just 3% above the upper price band, reported Livemint. The allotment is expected on August 31, with listing on BSE and NSE scheduled for September 2.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources reported the subscription numbers identically, but Livemint added grey market signals: a GMP of Rs 3, described as indicating 'negative sentiment' given recent fluctuations. The Hindu Business Line omitted the GMP entirely, focusing purely on official subscription data and use-of-proceeds details. The balanced reading is that institutional and retail demand was solid but not exuberant, and the thin grey market premium suggests muted listing-day expectations. The listing on September 2 will test whether the gap between subscription numbers and GMP sentiment narrows.
