The entire anchor allocation was made at the upper end of the price band of ₹281 per share. This includes the face value of ₹2 per share plus a share premium of ₹279 per share, taking the anchor allocation price to ₹281 per share. Let us focus on the anchor allotment portion ahead of the Allied Blenders and Distillers IPO, which saw the anchor bidding opening and also closing on 24th June 2024. Post the anchor allocation, here is how the overall allocation looked.

Data Source: Company RHP / BSE

Here it must be noted that the 1,59,82,206 shares allocated to the anchor investors on 24th June 2024, were actually reduced from the original QIB quota; and only the residual amount would be available to QIBs in the IPO. That change has been reflected in the table above, with the QIB IPO portion reduced to the extent of the anchor allocation. As a result, the QIB quota has reduced from 49.13% before the anchor allocation to 20.26% after the anchor allocation. The overall allocation to QIBs includes the anchor portion, so the anchor shares allotted has been deducted from the QIB quota for the purpose of the public issue.

Subscription status of Allied Blenders IPO

The table below captures the extent of oversubscription for each of the categories as well as the overall subscription for Allied Blenders IPO as of the close of the IPO on June 27, 2024.

Data Source: BSE / NSE

The response to the IPO of Allied Blenders and Distillers  was quite strong overall, and the subscriptions were especially robust for the QIB and the HNI / NII portion. The subscriptions were relatively modest for the retail portion. The overall subscription was 23.55X but the retail portion subscription was very modest at 4.51 times. The QIB portion got subscribed 50.37 times while the HNI / NII portion got subscribed 32.40 times. The Retail portion was subscribed  at just about 4.51 times, which is much lower than the median for retail investors in similar sized IPOs. The positive takeaway for retail investors from an allocation perspective is that SEBI new allocation norms tend to give weightage to ensuring that as many applicants as possible get at least one lot allocation in the IPO, before redistributing higher numbers. That enhances retail chances of getting allotment in this IPO, especially if more applications are put through all family members. 

Next steps after the closure of the Allied Blenders and Distillers IPO

The issue opened for subscription on 25th June 2024 and closed for subscription on 27th June 2024 (both days inclusive). The basis of allotment will be finalized on 28th June 2024 and the refunds will be initiated on 01st July 2024. In addition, the demat credits are expected to also happen on 01st July 2024 and the stock will list on 02nd July 2024 on the NSE and the BSE. Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd will test the appetite for private sector new age distiller brands in India. The credits to the demat account to the extent of shares allotted will happen by the close of 01st July 2024 under ISIN (INE552Z01027).

Investors would do well to remember that the level of subscription is very material as it determines the chances of getting allotment. Normally, higher the subscription ratio, lower the chances of allotment and vice versa. In this case, the subscription levels have been very modest in the IPO; in the Retail segment albeit not in the other segments. Investors in the IPO need to assess their chances of allotment accordingly. The final status will be known once the basis of allotment is finalized and uploaded for you to check. You can apply the above allotment checking process flow after the basis of allotment is finalized.
