Key Highlights:

2. By midday, the public issue has been subscribed 0.49 times, with the retail portion booked 0.58 times and the NII portion booked 0.91 times.
3. Market observers report a substantial grey market premium of ₹246 for Indegene shares.

The long-standing tradition of slow IPO activity during May in India has been disrupted by the launch of the Indegene Limited IPO, marking a significant shift in the primary market landscape. Scheduled to remain open until May 8, the IPO has already garnered significant interest from investors, with subscription levels reaching 0.49 times by midday on the first day of bidding. The retail portion has been particularly popular, already booked 0.58 times, while the NII portion stands at 0.91 times.

Indegene Limited, a digital service provider company, has set its IPO price band at ₹430 to ₹452 per share. The IPO, a combination of fresh shares and offers for sale (OFS), aims to raise a substantial ₹1841.76 crore, with ₹760 crore targeted through fresh shares issuance. This strategic financial structure reflects Indegene’s growth plans and provides existing shareholders an opportunity to exit.

Market observers report a robust grey market premium of ₹246 for Indegene shares, indicating strong investor interest even before the IPO’s official listing. Analysts have tagged the IPO with a ‘subscribe’ rating, citing the company’s strong performance and growth potential in the life sciences industry. They emphasize Indegene’s impressive revenue growth, driven by its innovative digital-led commercialization services and strategic acquisitions.

Encouraging investors to participate in the IPO, analysts suggest applying from a medium to long-term perspective, expecting favorable listing gains. With substantial grey market premiums and positive recommendations from various brokerage firms, the Indegene IPO presents an attractive investment opportunity for prospective investors.
