Notes

Molbio Diagnostics Limited raised ₹1,760 crore through a mainboard initial public offer.

The filing places it in Healthcare Services and names six promoters: Sriram Natarajan, Chandrasekhar Bhaskaran Nair, Sangeetha Sriram, Shiva Sriram, Sowmya Sriram and Exxora Trading LLP.

The book was open from 10 August 2026 to 12 August 2026.

The issue was priced at ₹807 a share, from a band of ₹768 to ₹807.

As of the exchange's 12-Aug-2026 19:00:00 update the book was subscribed 70.3 times the shares on offer, counting bids on NSE and BSE together.

Against their reserved portions: qualified institutional buyers 186.39 times, non-institutional investors 49.80 times, retail investors 12.96 times and employees 13.28 times. Those portions add up to the whole offer; the sub-categories below each one are already counted inside it.

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

33 anchor investors were allotted shares before the book opened, worth ₹281 crore.

The shares listed on 17 August 2026.

The last official close on file is ₹1,219 (21 September 2026), which is 51.0% above the issue price.

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

Where in the price band the bids sit
as of 12 Aug 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 0.03% between ₹768 and ₹807, 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.

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
33 investors · ₹281 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 9 of them are domestic mutual funds; we could not classify 23 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.

Restated financials

Everything we extracted from this issue's offer document is the pricing justification rather than the restated statements — it is shown under how the offer was priced. The restated financial statements themselves have not been extracted for this issue.

We have not extracted this section from the offer document for this issue yet. It is read from the abridged prospectus, and several offer documents are served as .zip archives or as scanned pages with no text layer.

Who the issuer compares itself to
