Understanding IPO Basics with AVJO

What is an IPO?

An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the first time a private company sells shares to the public. This allows the company to raise capital for growth or expansion. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulates IPOs, overseeing aspects such as issue price, price band, lot size, and subscription status.

What is GMP in IPO?

The IPO grey market premium (GMP) is an unofficial indicator of market sentiment towards an upcoming IPO. It represents the difference between the grey market price and the upper end of the IPO's price band.

For example, if an IPO's price band is ₹100-110 and the shares trade in the grey market at ₹130, the GMP is ₹20. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) and retail investors often use the IPO grey market premium to gauge potential listing gains.

SME vs. Mainboard IPO

SME IPO: Small and Medium Enterprise Initial Public Offering. It helps smaller companies raise money from the public by listing shares on the stock exchange.
Mainboard IPO: Large, privately-owned company sells shares to the public for the first time to raise capital for expansion, new projects, or debt repayment.

How to Apply for an IPO

To apply for an IPO in India, investors can submit bids once the issue opens and before it closes. The process is called IPO bidding, and there are two ways to apply:

Online IPO application: Apply online through your bank’s net banking or mobile app, or via a stock broker. Use UPI or ASBA to make payments.
Offline IPO application: Fill out a paper form and submit it to your broker or a bank branch that accepts IPO applications.

Investor Categories in an IPO

In an IPO, there are four main investor categories that participants can apply under. Each category has specific criteria and rules for allotment:

Retail Individual Investor (RII)
Non-Institutional Investor (NII)
Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs)
Anchor Investors

Retail Individual Investor (RII)

An RII is any individual, NRI (Non-Resident Indian), or HUF (Hindu Undivided Family) who applies for shares in an IPO for an amount less than Rs 2 lakhs. This category reserves at least 35% of the total IPO offer.

Non-Institutional Investor (NII)

An NII is an investor who applies for IPO shares worth more than Rs 2 lakhs. This category reserves shares for individuals, NRIs, HUFs, companies, and other entities like corporate bodies, societies, and trusts. The IPO allocates a minimum of 15% of the total shares to NIIs.

Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs)

QIBs are large, SEBI-registered institutional investors such as public financial institutions, mutual funds, banks, and foreign portfolio investors. These entities represent smaller retail investors through mutual funds, pension schemes, and insurance products.

Anchor Investors

Anchor Investors are a special class of QIBs who invest a large amount (Rs 10 crores or more) before the IPO opens to the public. They boost investor confidence by participating early and demonstrating interest in the company.
