Notes

Karamtara Engineering Limited raised ₹1,750 crore through a mainboard initial public offer.

The filing places it in Power and names five promoters: TANVEER SINGH, RAJIV SINGH, INDERJEET SINGH, INDERJEET TANVEER SINGH TRUST and INDERJEET RAJIV SINGH TRUST.

The book was open from 9 September 2026 to 11 September 2026.

The issue was priced at ₹254 a share, from a band of ₹241 to ₹254.

As of the exchange's 11-Sep-2026 19:00:00 update the book was subscribed 62.6 times the shares on offer, counting bids on NSE and BSE together.

Against their reserved portions: qualified institutional buyers 159.59 times, non-institutional investors 48.55 times and retail investors 13.26 times. Those portions add up to the whole offer; the sub-categories below each one are already counted inside it.

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

15 anchor investors were allotted shares before the book opened, worth ₹262 crore.

The shares listed on 17 September 2026.

The last official close on file is ₹352 (17 September 2026), which is 38.6% above the issue price.

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

Investors have bid for 62.63 times the shares on offer. Each category below has its own reserved portion, and those portions add up to the whole offer.

Bids placed on NSE alone, excluding BSE. It is smaller than the 62.63x headline above and the two must never be compared or added together.

Where in the price band the bids sit
as of 11 Sept 2026, 7:00 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.

The columns are near-identical because they are: demand falls only 0.02% between ₹241 and ₹254, 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)
14.81 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 ₹241 to ₹254
0.02%

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.

Who bought before the book opened
15 investors · ₹262 cr

Anchor investors are institutions allotted shares one working day before public bidding opens, at a price fixed then. Their shares are locked in for a set period. At least 2 of them are domestic mutual funds; we could not classify 13 of the names either way.

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.
