How the book filled

On the final day it was qualified institutional buyers (QIB) driving the book, at 274.97× of the shares set aside for the category.

Within the NII book, the bigger ₹10-lakh-plus bids outpaced the smaller applications. Retail investors put in bids for 41.68× the shares reserved for them.

What the multiple means for allotment
Retail bids ran to about 41.68 times the shares earmarked for the category. When a retail book is oversubscribed, the registrar does not allot proportionately — allotment runs as a computerised lottery among all valid applications, with each successful application receiving at least one lot of 34 shares — ₹14,586 of stock at the upper band. The multiple above is the data point that determines how thinly that draw is spread; it describes the final book, not the outcome of any single application.
