Notes

Baba Food Processing (India) Limited raised ₹33 crore through a SME-platform initial public offer.

The filing places it in Agricultural Food & other Products and names one promoter: YOGESH KUMAR SAHU.

The book was open from 11 March 2023 to 11 June 2023.

The issue was priced at ₹76 a share, from a band of ₹72 to ₹76.

The whole offer is a fresh issue of shares — ₹33 crore raised by the company itself.

The issuer reported the offer subscribed 66.0 times the shares on offer. That is its own final figure, filed with the exchange after the book closed — not a reading we took while bidding was open.

The shares listed on 15 November 2023.

The last official close on file is ₹23.95 (17 September 2026), which is 68.5% below the issue price.

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

How the bidding went

66.00x
subscribed — filed by the issuer

This is the issuer’s own final figure, filed with the exchange once bidding had closed — not a reading we took while the book was open. The exchange publishes only a running cumulative figure and no history, so for an issue nobody polled live this filing is the only account of the book that exists. It covers the whole offer and carries no breakdown by category and no timestamp.

Who the offer was set aside for
as filed by the issuer at listing
  • Qualified institutional buyers1.8%
  • Non-institutional investors27.6%
  • Retail individual investors65.5%
  • Market maker5.0%

No part of the offer was set aside for anchor investors, reserved portion or other.

The portion of the offer set aside for each category before bidding opened, as the issuer filed it. The anchor allocation is filed as its own line rather than inside the institutional one, so these add up to the whole offer. Shares as filed; the percentages are computed against the offer's own share count.

Demand at each price

We did not poll this issue while its book was open. The exchange publishes only the current cumulative figure and no history, so a subscription series cannot be reconstructed after an issue closes.

Anchor investors

We have not extracted an anchor allotment list for this issue.

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.
