While the IPO received a lukewarm response from retail and non-institutional investors, the overall subscription stood at 4.5 times.
The enthusiasm was largely driven by qualified institutional buyers (QIBs), who subscribed to their quota 7.46 times. In contrast, the retail portion was subscribed to only 83%, and the NII segment was covered by 1.02 times, suggesting lower retail confidence despite the popularity of The Leela brand.
The subdued interest has also trickled down into the grey market. The latest grey market premium (GMP) for Schloss Bangalore shares stands at a mere Rs 2, implying a potential listing price of Rs 437 against the issue price of Rs 435 — a modest expected gain of 0.46%.
Those who do secure allotment can expect shares to be credited to their demat accounts by May 30. Refunds for unallocated applicants will also be initiated on the same day. The listing will take place on June 2.
