Investors have wholeheartedly embraced the IPO, with a total of 1.91 crore equity shares bid against the offering size of 1.46 crore shares, resulting in a subscription rate of 1.31 times.
The response from both high net worth individuals (HNIs) and retail investors has been particularly enthusiastic, with HNIs subscribing 2.63 times and retail investors 1.47 times.
The employees of Concord Biotech have shown significant interest, bidding a staggering 11.05 times the allotted quota. On the other hand, the reserved portion for qualified institutional buyers was booked at 1 percent.
