Carraro India's IPO worth Rs 1,250 cr subscribed 9% on day one of listing

Carraro India's initial public offer got subscribed 9 per cent on the first day of share sale on Friday.

The initial share sale of the manufacturer of transmission systems for off-highway vehicles and other agricultural and construction equipment, received bids for 11,24,277 shares against 1,30,98,803 shares on offer, as per NSE data.

Retail Individual Investors (RIIs) portion mopped up 15 per cent subscription while the category for non-institutional investors received 6 per cent subscription.

Carraro India Ltd on Thursday said it has garnered Rs 375 crore from anchor investors.

The issue, with a price band of Rs 668-704 per share, will conclude on December 24.

 

Carraro India's IPO is completely an offer for sale (OFS) of shares worth Rs 1,250 crore by Carraro International SE, with no fresh issue component, according to the red herring prospectus.

Since the entire issue is an OFS, all the proceeds from the IPO will go directly to the selling shareholder, rather than the company.
