Notes

Ardee Industries Limited raised ₹650 crore through a mainboard initial public offer.

The filing places it in Non - Ferrous Metals and names three promoters: SANDEEP AGGARWAL, NIKUNJ AGGARWAL and ESHA GUPTA.

The book was open from 5 August 2026 to 7 August 2026.

The issue was priced at ₹53 a share, from a band of ₹50 to ₹53.

As of the exchange's 07-Aug-2026 19:00:00 update the book was subscribed 133.7 times the shares on offer, counting bids on NSE and BSE together.

Against their reserved portions: qualified institutional buyers 197.77 times, non-institutional investors 255.24 times and retail investors 45.71 times. Those portions add up to the whole offer; the sub-categories below each one are already counted inside it.

114.05 crore shares were bid at cut-off — applications that accept whatever price the issue is finally set at rather than naming one.

The shares listed on 12 August 2026.

The last official close on file is ₹52.08 (22 September 2026), which is 1.7% below the issue price.

It now trades as ARDEE, and its filed financials are on its company page.

Investors have bid for 133.66 times the shares on offer. Each category below has its own reserved portion, and those portions add up to the whole offer.

This is a single reading. The exchange publishes only the current cumulative figure and no history, so a day-by-day curve exists only for issues we happened to be polling live.

NSE bids only — a different figure109.61x

Bids placed on NSE alone, excluding BSE. It is smaller than the 133.66x headline above and the two must never be compared or added together.

Where in the price band the bids sit
as of 7 Aug 2026, 7:22 pm IST

Every bid names a price, or accepts whatever the final price turns out to be. This shows how many shares have been bid for at each price or above it — so the bar at the top of the band counts only the bids willing to pay it.

₹50
₹51
₹52
₹53

The columns are near-identical because they are: demand falls only 0.05% between ₹50 and ₹53, so almost every bid was willing to pay the top of the band. The axis starts at zero — the flatness is the finding, not a missing scale.

Bid at cut-off (no price named)
114.05 cr

These accept whatever price the issue is finally set at, so they have no place on the price axis and are not in the chart.

Drop from ₹50 to ₹53
0.05%

How much of the demand falls away between the bottom and the top of the band.

Cumulative shares bid at or above each price in the band, from the exchange's own demand schedule. Bids placed at cut-off carry no price and are counted separately.

Computed from the SEBI ICDR 2018 lock-in rules, not disclosed by the issuer or the exchange. The regulation counts from the date of allotment, which no feed we ingest publishes, so these are counted from the listing date and fall at most two to three business days later than the true expiry.

How the price was set
as printed in the prospectus

Every offer document must set out the reasoning behind its own price: what the company earned in the years before it came to market, and what multiple of those earnings it is asking for. This is that chapter — the issuer’s argument for its price, not our assessment of it.
