Last Updated: 21st December 2021 - 10:30 pm
The Rs.1,100 crore IPO of CMS Info Systems, consisting entirely of an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs.1,100 crore, saw tepid response on Day-1 of the IPO. As per the combined bid details put out by the BSE at the end of Day-1, CMS Info Systems IPO was subscribed just 0.40X or 40% overall, with demand coming mainly from the retail segment. The issue will close for subscription on Thursday, 23rd December.
As of close of 21st December, out of the 375.61 lakh shares on offer in the IPO, CMS Info Systems saw bids for 148.92 lakh shares. This implies an overall subscription of 0.40X or 40%. The granular break-up of subscriptions was dominated by the retail with hardly any contribution from the HNIs and QIBs on the first day.
Normally, it is only on the last day of bidding, the HNI bids and the QIB bids build up substantial momentum so the first day may not present a very clear picture.
