Category detail
Institutional demand closed at 168.19× of the QIB quota. Non-institutional investors came in at 51.17×, split 45.83× in the small-NII bucket (bids under ₹10 lakh) and 53.83× among big NIIs (above ₹10 lakh). Within the NII book, the bigger ₹10-lakh-plus bids outpaced the smaller applications. Retail investors put in bids for 13.98× the shares reserved for them. That puts qualified institutional buyers (QIB) at the top of the book at 168.19× and retail investors at the bottom at 13.98×.
What the multiple means for allotment
A retail multiple of 13.98× means bids in the category outnumbered the shares set aside for it roughly 13.98 times over. 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 59 shares — ₹14,986 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.
