The Initial Public Offering (IPO), valued at ₹1,900 crore ($25.6 billion), was oversubscribed by 38.90 times, demonstrating substantial interest from Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) and Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs).
The company successfully raised ₹567 crore from anchor investors including ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Co., SBI Life Insurance Co., HDFC Mutual Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance Co., BNP Paribas (OTC:) Arbitrage, Morgan Stanley, Nomura, Motilal Oswal, Edelweiss, and Goldman Sachs by allotting shares at ₹648 each.
