Now in simple terms, IPO subscription status indicates how many times an IPO has been subscribed by different categories of investors (QIB, NII, retail investors) compared to the total number of shares offered during the IPO bidding period.

This data is updated daily while the IPO is open for subscription. It helps investors in measuring the demand and popularity of an issue in real time. You can also cross-reference with IPO GMP insights.

Types of Investors in an IPO – QIB, NII/HNI, Retail & Other Categories

When an IPO is launched by a company, different types of investors bid for shares but everyone does not fall in the same category. SEBI divides investors into specific groups, each with its own role and behaviour during bidding process.

• Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) – These are the big players. Mutual funds, insurance companies, banks, and foreign institutional investors fall in this category. They have access to deep research and have large capital base. When they show interest in an IPO, it usually boosts confidence in that company.
• Non-Institutional Investors /High Net Worth Investors (NII/HNI) – These types of investors apply for shares worth more than 2 lakh. Many times it is seen that they generally bid aggressively in final hour of IPO. Also, they use multiple accounts or funding to maximize their allotment chances. Their aggressive bidding can quickly lift overall subscription number.
• Retail Individual Investors (RII) – Small investors applying up to 2 lakh are part of this group. Their participation shows how much interest IPO is getting from retail investor.
• Employee & Shareholder Quota – Some companies also reserve a portion of issue for their employees and existing shareholders. And sometimes company give small discount.

This category-wise subscription data helps you understand, where demand is coming from. Each category’s subscription level affects overall IPO demand. and it can influence allotment chances and listing day performance.

Why IPO Subscription Status Fluctuates Daily – Real-Time Bidding & Market Drivers

IPO subscription status is not static. It changes multiple times during the IPO bidding period. Here are some reason :

• Bidding window : IPOs generally open for 3 days. During this time, any investor can modify or cancel their bid.
• Institutional bids : QIB bids often come on the last day, which dramatically increases overall subscription ratios.
• Price band perception : When investors find the price band attractive, demand rises quickly.
• Market sentiment : When the market is bullish, more investors bid and apply. But if it turns weak, applications slow down.

So these are some of the factors.

Never judge an IPO early. Subscription status can jump from 2x to 50x in a few hours on the final bidding day.
