The next thing to look at is the extent of subscription. The table below captures the extent of oversubscription for each of the categories as well as the overall subscription as of the close of trading on 06th March 2024.

The response to the IPO of V R Infraspace was fairly robust and it was subscribed 93.41X overall at the close of bidding on 06th March 2024. The HNI / NII portion was subscribed 85.21 times while the retail portion was subscribed 90.55 times. This is very high subscription and gives a very low chance of allotment in the IPO.

With the IPO closed for subscription at the end of 06th March, 2024, the next piece of action shifts to the finalization of the basis of allotment and later to the listing of the IPO.

In addition, the demat credits are also expected to happen on 11th March, 2024 and the stock is scheduled to list on 12th March, 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 11th March, 2024 under ISIN Number (INE0QQM01017).

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.
