QIB Portion
Let us first talk about the pre-IPO anchor placement. On 15th December, Supriya Lifesciences did an anchor placement of 1,14,96,351 shares at the upper end of the price band of Rs.274 to 18 anchor investors raising Rs.315 crore, representing 45% of the overall issue size.
The list of QIB anchors included some global names like Dovetail India Fund, Cohesion MK, Malabar India Fund, Kuber India Fund, Volrado Partners, BNP Paribas, Societe Generale etc. Domestic investors in the anchor placement included Nippon India MF, Aditya Birla Sun Life MF, Reliance General Insurance, Rajasthan Global Securities etc. Anchor investors have a mandatory lock in period of just 1 month.
The QIB portion (net of anchor allocation as explained above) has a quota of 79.25 lakh shares of which it has got bids for Nil shares at the close of Day-1, implying Nil subscription for QIBs at the end of Day-1. However, QIB bids typically get bunched on the last day but the institutional interest in the anchor placement shows there is institutional appetite.
HNI / NII Portion
The HNI portion got subscribed 0.66x to 66% (getting applications for 26.08 lakh shares against the quota of 39.62 lakh shares). This is OK for Day-1 because this segment normally sees the maximum response bunched on the last day of the issue. Bulk of the funded applications and corporate applications, come in on the last day of the IPO only.

The retail portion was subscribed a relatively robust 11.84 times at the close of Day-1, showing strong retail appetite; as has been the general trend with smaller sized IPOs. It must be noted that retail allocation is just 10% in this IPO.
