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.
Plan your bid with our unique tools — all calculations run in your browser:
One market lot comprises 55 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 97.28x as of Sep 29, 2026 18:55. Demand has been brisk. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) bid 192.68x their reserved portion; Non-institutional investors (NIIs) bid 121.9x their reserved portion; the retail category bid 32.21x 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 42% and profit after tax (PAT) not changed 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 | 30 Jun 2026 | 31 Mar 2026 | 31 Mar 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | 743.19 | 580.79 | 427.19 |
| Total Income | 490.94 | 1,181.67 | 831.86 |
| Profit After Tax | 32.78 | 53.56 | 53.32 |
| EBITDA | 54.89 | 96.40 | 83.86 |
| Net Worth | 268.76 | 235.84 | 180.70 |
| Reserves | 257.35 | 224.34 | 170.50 |
| Total Borrowings | 258.46 | 234.19 | 113.45 |
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 ₹53.32 Cr to ₹32.78 Cr over two years; the borrowings-to-net-worth ratio has climbed to about 0.96. 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.
visit Kfin Technologies Ltd., open the IPO status page, select "Orient Cables (India) IPO", enter PAN or application number and view your status.
Enter your application number and PAN on the exchange allotment page to see the shares allotted.
The mandate shows "blocked" until allotment, then the amount is either debited for allotted shares or released automatically.
The stock listed on 05 Oct 2026 at a premium of 48.9% and is currently trading around 54.01% versus the issue price. Grey-market expectations have now given way to actual price discovery.
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.

GMP implies 31% 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)

PAT moved from Rs53.32 Cr to Rs32.78 Cr (-39%) across restated years
