Subscription and issue size: for these issues, the figures NSE publishes (NSE and BSE bids together; for issues sized in rupees NSE counts the shares on offer at the lower end of the price band, so these can be up to about 7% below final figures quoted elsewhere) and an issue size estimated from the shares on offer (including the anchor book) at the issue price. "Now" is the latest NSE close against the issue price, not adjusted for later splits or bonuses. bt marks a back-tested AI estimate: scored by a model that had only seen earlier years' IPOs.

Important: The AI listing estimates on Flash Finance are statistical estimates drawn from how past Indian IPOs have listed. They are not a forecast of what any IPO will do, not a recommendation to apply, buy or sell, and not investment advice. Listing prices depend on market conditions on the listing day and can differ widely from any estimate; past patterns may not repeat. Subscription figures are as published by NSE (bids on NSE and BSE together) and can be revised. Flash Finance is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or research analyst. Read the issue's Red Herring Prospectus and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before you invest.
