The public offering, which opened for subscription on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, has garnered a favorable response from investors, getting oversubscribed by 33.76 times by the end of January 30.
At the upper end, the company seeks to raise Rs 25.92 crore from the public offering by issuing a fresh issue of 2.88 million equity shares. Malpani Pipes has set the price band for its public issue at Rs 85-90 per share. The public offering is available with a lot size of 1,600 shares. Thus, investors willing to bid for Malpani Pipes IPO can place bids for a minimum of 1,600 shares and in multiples thereof, with a minimum investment of Rs 1,44,000.
That said, as the public offering enters its third and final day of subscription, its grey market premium (GMP) has witnessed a drop from its peak.
