The ₹1,370.10 crore IPO of SAMHI Hotels Ltd, consisted of a combination of fresh issue and offer for sale. The fresh issue was to the tune of ₹1,200 crore while the offer for sale (OFS) was worth ₹170.10 crore. The IPO pricing was done in the band of ₹119 to ₹126 per share with the final price to be discovered through the process of book building. While the QIB portion picked up traction on the last day, the overall journey was quite slow. In fact, the retail, QIB and HNI / NII portion got full subscribed only on the last day of the IPO as did the overall IPO, obviously. At the close of the second day of the IPO, it had been just about subscribed 60% of the IPO size. The table below captures the day-wise progress in IPO subscription.

Rapid update on the overall IPO response

The IPO saw fairly tepid response on Day-1 and Day-2 of the IPO and closed with relatively moderate subscription numbers at the close of Day-3. In fact, the company got fully subscribed only on the third and final day of the IPO, with the retail portion also getting fully subscribed only on the last day of the IPO. As per the combined bid details put out by the BSE at the close of Day-3, SAMHI Hotels Ltd IPO was subscribed 5.33X overall, with best demand coming from the QIB segment, followed by the HNI / NII segment and the retail segment in that order. In fact, the institutional segment saw some very good traction on the last day. The HNI portion did do well on the last day, but just about managed to get through with a one time subscription. Retail portion was relatively timid and got fully subscribed only on the last day of the IPO. Firstly, let us look at the details of overall allocation.

The QIB portion (net of anchor allocation as explained above) had a quota of 339.44 lakh shares of which it has got bids for 2,993.39 lakh shares at the close of Day-3, implying a subscription ratio of 8.82X for QIBs at the close of Day-3. QIB bids typically get bunched on the last day and while the heavy demand for the anchor placement had given an indication of the institutional appetite for the SAMHI Hotels Ltd IPO subscription overall, the actual demand did turn to be moderately healthy for the IPO.

Subscription status of HNI / NII Portion

The HNI portion got subscribed just about 1.22X (getting applications for 209.94 lakh shares against the quota of 171.51 lakh shares). That is a relatively tepid response at the close of Day-3 largely because this segment normally sees the maximum response bunched on the last day. Bulk of the funded applications and corporate applications, come in on the last day of the IPO, and that was not exactly visible as the overall HNI / NII portion did not contribute much on the last day of the IPO. Unlike the QIB portion, the HNI / NII portion did not see good traction on the last day.

Now the NII/HNI portion is reported in two parts viz. bids below ₹10 lakhs (S-HNI) and bids above ₹10 lakhs (B-HNI). The bids above the ₹10 lakh category (B-HNIs) typically represents most of the major funding customers. If you break up the HNI portion, the above ₹10 lakh bid category got subscribed 1.35X while the below ₹10 lakh bid category (S-HNIs) got subscribed 0.97X. This is just for information and is already part of the overall HNI bids explained in the previous para.

Subscription status of Retail Individuals

The retail portion was subscribed just 1.11X at the close of Day-3, showing relatively tepid appetite. It must be noted that retail allocation was just 10% in this IPO. For retail investors; out of the 114.34 lakh shares on offer, valid bids were received for 126.74 lakh shares, which included bids for 109.09 lakh shares at the cut-off price. The IPO is priced in the band of (₹119 to ₹126) per share and has closed for subscription as of the close of Monday, 18th September 2023.
