How allocation quota and subscription impact basis of allotment

Here is a quick look at how the allocation was made across different categories of investors. This is the first factor that impacts the investor’s chances of allotment in the IPO.

Data Source: Company RHP

You can check the number of shares available for your specified quota which gives an idea of the chances of allotment at the outset itself. The response to the IPO of Indian Emulsifier Ltd was relatively strong and it was subscribed 460.14X overall at the close of bidding on 16th May 2024 with the Retail segment seeing 484.66 times subscription and the HNI / NII portion seeing 779.98 times subscription. Even the QIB portion saw a robust subscription of 175.95X in the IPO of Indian Emulsifier Ltd. The table below captures the overall allocation of shares with the oversubscription details as of the close of the IPO on 16th May 2024.

Data Source: NSE 

The oversubscription numbers are exclusive of the market maker portion, which is intended to provide liquidity with low bid-ask spreads for the investors and it is also exclusive of the anchor allocation portion to give a proper picture of the extent of oversubscription. The subscription numbers are very strong, which would logically reduce chances of getting an allotment.

Next steps after the closure of the IPO of Indian Emulsifier 

The issue opened for subscription on 13th May 2024 and closed for subscription on 16th May 2024 (both days inclusive). The basis of allotment will be finalized on 17th May 2024 and the refunds will be initiated on 21st May. In addition, the demat credits are also expected to happen on 21st May 2024 and the stock is scheduled to list on 22nd May 2024 on the NSE SME segment. This is the segment, in contrast to the mainboard, where IPOs of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are incubated. The demat credits to the demat account to the extent of allotment will happen by the close of 21st May 2024 under ISIN Number (INE0RRU01016).

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 fairly strong 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.
