Three mainboard IPOs—Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar Exports Ltd, Powerica Ltd, and Sai Parenterals Ltd—are set to close for subscription on March 27, with mixed investor response so far.
Amir Chand Jagdish Kumar (Exports) IPO has seen relatively better traction, garnering 1.47 times subscription by the second day of bidding. Demand was largely driven by non-institutional investors (NIIs), whose portion was subscribed 5.24 times. However, participation from institutional and retail investors remained moderate, with the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) segment subscribed 78% and the Retail Individual Investors (RIIs) portion at 56%.
In contrast, Powerica IPO has witnessed muted demand, with the issue subscribed just 3% overall on Day 2. The retail segment showed marginal interest at 4%, while the NII category remained largely subdued at 1%, indicating cautious investor sentiment toward the offering.
Meanwhile, Sai Parenterals IPO has seen a modest response, achieving 41% subscription by the second day. The NII category was fully subscribed at 1.01 times, while QIBs showed moderate interest at 60%. Retail participation, however, remained weak, with only 5% subscription.
Overall, the mixed subscription trends reflect selective investor participation in the primary market amid prevailing volatility and cautious sentiment.
