The price band and lot size have not been officially announced yet. This section updates automatically as soon as the RHP details are out.
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:
Subscription figures will appear here once bidding opens and the registrar/exchange begins publishing demand data.
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.
On a restated consolidated basis, the company revenue increased by 17% and profit after tax (PAT) rose by 90% 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 | 26.57 | 19.68 | 14.34 |
| Total Income | 54.78 | 46.83 | 40.22 |
| Profit After Tax | 5.20 | 2.74 | 1.96 |
| EBITDA | 8.37 | 4.82 | 3.77 |
| Net Worth | 12.24 | 7.04 | 2.44 |
| Reserves | 7.44 | 2.24 | 2.34 |
| Total Borrowings | 11.05 | 10.11 | 9.84 |
All figures in ₹ Crore unless stated otherwise. Source: restated financials disclosed in the offer documents.
Profits have scaled from ₹1.96 Cr to ₹5.20 Cr over two years; the borrowings-to-net-worth ratio has eased to about 0.90. 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.
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.

No credible listing estimate has formed yet.
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.

The allotment date is 17 Aug 2026 (official registrar/exchange date; minor delays are possible).
Listing is scheduled for 19 Aug 2026 on BSE SME. The listing price is set by market demand on debut day, GMP is only an unofficial hint.
Skyline Financial Services 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. A figure above 1x means the category is oversubscribed. 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 verdict reflects short-horizon signals only.
In the retail category, allotment happens by computerised lottery, many applicants get nothing. QIB and NII portions are allotted pro-rata. Unblocked funds are released within the ASBA/UPI timeline if you receive no shares.
