IPO allocation and subscriptions: why they matter to allotment status

Here is a break-up of the total shares issued by the company and its quota allocated for different classes of investors. This is the key to your chances of allotment in the IPO.

Data Source: Company RHP

The response to the IPO of Associated Coaters was very strong and it was subscribed by 371.32X overall at the close of bidding on 03rd June 2024 with the HNI / NII segment seeing 247.66 times subscription, and the Retail portion seeing 494.99 times subscription. There was no dedicated QIB quota in the IPO and any such QIB applications were clubbed with the HNI / NII (non-institutional) portion. The table below captures the overall allocation of shares with the oversubscription details as of the close of the IPO on 03rd June 2024. The IPO was kept open for a period of 3 trading days.

Data Source: BSE

In the above case, the subscription is quite strong for retail and HNI / NII, and that largely makes the chances of allotment in the IPO to be relatively low. This is higher than the median subscription that BSE-SME IPOs generally get to see.

Next steps in the Associated Coaters IPO 

The issue opened for subscription on 30th May 2024 and closed for subscription on 03rd June 2024 (both days inclusive). The basis of allotment will be finalized on 04th June 2024 and the refunds will be initiated on 05th June 2024. In addition, the demat credits are expected to also happen on 05th June 2024 and the stock will list on 06th June 2024 on the NSE SME IPO segment. The credits to the demat account to the extent of shares allotted will happen by the close of 05th June 2024 under ISIN (INE0RIQ01013).

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 high in the IPO; both in the Retail segment and also in the HNI / NII segment. 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.
