Grey-market premium is captured at close, then matched against the actual debut. The gap between GMP-implied gain and the real listing is the prediction error — directional signal only, magnitude is never promised. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

One market lot comprises 44 shares. Applications above ₹2 lakh fall under the non-institutional (HNI) category.
Mark these dates, the full subscription-to-listing cycle typically wraps up in under two weeks. India now runs on a T+3 settlement cycle, meaning bidding closes, allotment is finalised and shares hit Demat accounts within roughly three working days of the close, with listing following the very next trading day. Refunds for unsuccessful applicants happen automatically, ASBA/UPI blocks are released without any forms or follow-ups:
The issue was subscribed 1.42x as of Sep 11, 2026 18:52. Demand has been building gradually so far. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) bid 1.26x their reserved portion; Non-institutional investors (NIIs) bid 1.22x their reserved portion; the retail category bid 2.19x their reserved portion.
QIB demand reflects what mutual funds, insurers and alternative funds think of the valuation; NII (HNI) bookings often track expected listing pops; retail demand shows crowd sentiment. A book that is strong across all three categories is far more reassuring than one carried by a single segment. Remember: heavier oversubscription also means a lottery-style retail allotment, so apply only what you can comfortably bid for.
Live figures from the registrar/exchange; they change while bidding is open.
On a restated consolidated basis, the company revenue increased by 6% and profit after tax (PAT) dropped by 10% between the financial year ending with March 31, 2026, a useful one-line read on operating momentum heading into the listing.
Here is how the books have moved over the last three financial years:
| Particulars | 31 Mar 2026 | 31 Mar 2025 | 31 Mar 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | 1,160.90 | 1,409.67 | 1,102.71 |
| Total Income | 1,356.59 | 1,277.11 | 1,267.97 |
| Profit After Tax | 253.46 | 282.21 | 249.17 |
| EBITDA | 455.83 | 408.77 | 355.57 |
| Net Worth | 1,107.34 | 619.70 | 405.05 |
| Reserves | 747.43 | 262.89 | 48.25 |
| Total Borrowings | 0.42 | 472.87 | 449.47 |
All figures in ₹ Crore unless stated otherwise. Source: restated financials disclosed in the offer documents.
Total change is the full swing from the oldest to the newest restated year and is what the Financial Growth score uses. CAGR is the same journey expressed per year, which stops a small base year from making a large-looking jump. Margin is profit after tax as a share of total income.
Profits have scaled from ₹249.17 Cr to ₹253.46 Cr over two years; the borrowings-to-net-worth ratio has eased to about 0.00. For investors, the trend matters more than any single year, steady compounding with contained leverage is what institutional bidders typically reward, while a late spike in borrowings deserves scrutiny against the stated objects of the issue.
Reading these numbers. RoE and RoCE measure how efficiently the business turns shareholder capital into profit; anything in double digits is respectable, mid-twenties plus is strong. A debt-to-equity ratio well below 1 signals a balance sheet that does not depend on lenders. NAV per share anchors the book value of your bid, while price-to-book tells you how many rupees the issue is charging for each rupee of that book, compare it with listed peers in the same sector before deciding whether the premium is justified.
The issue price converts into a different earnings multiple once the fresh shares hit the books. Here is the dilution-adjusted picture:
Pre-IPO figures are computed on the pre-issue share count; post-IPO figures assume full subscription at the upper band.
As disclosed under "Competitive Strengths" in the company's offer document.
Promoter holding comes down after the issue. Some dilution is inherent to every IPO, the question is whether the fresh-money component is funding growth (capacity, debt reduction) or simply an exit for early shareholders. Weigh the split between the fresh issue and the offer-for-sale alongside this number before forming a view.

The stock listed on 17 Sep 2026.
New listings open with a special pre-open call auction: the exchange matches buy and sell orders to discover an opening price, after which normal trading begins. Newly listed counters trade in price bands (circuit limits) on day one, which caps how far the stock can swing from its base price. If you applied and were allotted, shares are already in your Demat before the bell, you can sell at open or hold; if you missed the allotment, you can still buy on debut, but chasing a euphoric opening is a well-known way to overpay.
A detailed business-model breakdown is added by the research desk once the official prospectus (DRHP/RHP) disclosures are fully parsed.

Peer comparison data is not available in the RHP for this issue. Some SME IPOs do not include a peer group section in the offer document.
The stated objects, typically a mix of debt repayment, working-capital funding, capacity expansion and general corporate purposes, are set out in the Red Herring Prospectus. The DostIpo desk summarises the object-by-object break-up here once the RHP is parsed in full; until then, treat the prospectus as the authoritative source.

GMP implies 2% listing premium on the upper band
Formula: score = min(|GMP| / upper_band x 100 / 60, 1) x 10 (full 10 at >=60% implied premium; no quote -> skipped, never 0; GMP is only 10% of Fundamental X-Ray by design)

Overall subscription at 1.42x during the window; QIB portion at 1.26x
Formula: base = min(total_x / 10, 1) x 15; with QIB: score = base x 0.7 + min(qib_x / 5, 1) x 15 x 0.3

PAT moved from Rs249.17 Cr to Rs253.46 Cr (+2%) across restated years
Formula: score = min(pat_growth_pct / 80, 1) x 20, pat_growth_pct = (newest - oldest) / |oldest| x 100 across restated years (simple change, NOT CAGR). The score uses total change; PAT CAGR, Revenue CAGR and PAT-margin trend are displayed alongside as evidence but are NOT scored

Formula: post-issue P/E <= 25 -> 18; <= 40 -> 12; else 5 (max achievable is 18/20 by design — perfection is not claimable pre-listing)

No grey-market premium is quoted yet for the Manipal Payment & Identity Solutions (Manipal Cards) IPO — the desk publishes the first credible quote as soon as it emerges. GMP is unofficial and not a listing-price guarantee.

MUFG Intime India Pvt.Ltd. is managing the issue. Allotment status can be checked on its official portal using PAN, application number or DP/client ID once the basis of allotment is finalised.
You can apply through any UPI-enabled broking app (Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, Angel One etc.) or via ASBA through your bank's net-banking. One lot is the minimum application; retail applications are capped at ₹2 lakh.
Subscription shows how many times the shares on offer were bid for. As of the latest update, the issue is subscribed 1.42x overall. Higher retail and QIB demand generally signals stronger conviction, though it also means lottery-based allotment.
That depends on valuation, sector outlook and the company's financials after listing, not on day-one moves. Read the RHP's risk factors and financial statements, and consider consulting a SEBI-registered adviser. DostIpo's signal reflects short-horizon data only, not a recommendation.
