How allocation quota and subscription impact basis of allotment?

Data Source: BSE

Subscription status of Bharti Hexacom IPO reflects significant interest from investors, with public issue being oversubscribed by 29.88 times by closing date of April 5, 2024. This level of oversubscription indicates strong demand for IPO shares.

This suggests that retail investors are cautiously optimistic about IPO & its prospects. QIBs showed substantial interest, with subscription of 48.57 times. This robust demand from institutional investors highlights their confidence in company's fundamentals & growth potential.

NIIs also demonstrated significant interest, with subscription of 10.51 times. Within NII category, bids above ₹10 lakhs (bNII) recorded higher subscription of 12.27 times compared to bids below ₹10 lakhs (sNII) at 7.00 times. This suggests that larger investors have shown more enthusiasm for IPO compared to smaller ones.

Subscription figures indicate that IPO has garnered substantial attention across all investor categories. However, investors should exercise caution & conduct thorough due diligence before participating in IPO. Factors to consider include company's financial performance, industry outlook, competitive positioning, & valuation relative to peers.

Given strong demand for IPO shares, investors may need to strategize their approach, considering factors such as allotment probability & potential listing gains. Additionally, retail investors should evaluate their risk appetite & investment objectives before making any investment decisions.

To sum it up, the oversubscription is quite modest, so the chances of allotment in the IPO would be relatively higher. This applies to the retail portion and also to the HNI / NII portion; as the subscription is very modest in both the categories.
