The only question now is, what determines chances of allocation in the IPO? It boils down to allocation quota and subscription levels.

Allocation quota for JNK India Ltd IPO

The table below captures the quota allocated to various categories, in terms of the number of shares and also the percentage of the total share capital raised. This includes the anchor allocation. For investors it is the quota for the retail and the HNI that really matters.

This is a mid-sized IPO and hence the chances of allotment are always relatively high. It must be noted here that this is the final break-up of shares and it may differ from the original allocation as there are adjustments made to the number of shares issued. The anchor allocation portion has been carved out of the QIB portion. We now turn to how the various categories of investors in the IPO of JNK India Ltd put in their bids.

Subscription levels for JNK India Ltd IPO

The table below captures the extent of oversubscription for each of the categories as well as the overall subscription for JNK India Ltd  IPO.
 

Data Source: BSE

The response to the IPO of JNK India Ltd  was robust overall, and the subscriptions were especially robust for the QIB and the HNI / NII portion. However, the subscriptions were relatively tepid for the retail portion. The overall subscription was 28.07X but the retail portion subscription was a lot more tepid. The QIB portion got subscribed 75.72 times while the HNI / NII portion got subscribed 23.19 times. The Retail portion was subscribed  at just about 4.01 times, which is 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.

Next steps after the closure of the JNK India Ltd IPO

The issue opened for subscription on 23rd April 2024 and closed for subscription on 25th April 2024 (both days inclusive). The basis of allotment will be finalized on 26th April 2024 and the refunds will be initiated on 29th April 2024. In addition, the demat credits are expected to also happen on 29th April 2024 and the stock will list on 30th April 2024 on the NSE and the BSE. The credits to the demat account to the extent of shares allotted will happen by the close of 29th April 2024 under ISIN (INE0OAF01028).

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; 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.
