Archean Chemical Industries IPO: How to check the allotment status

Archean Chemical Industries IPO worth Rs.1,462.31 crore, consisted of a fresh issue of Rs805 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs657.31 crore. The fresh issue component in the IPO infuses fresh funds into the company but it is also dilutive of the equity base and the EPS of the company. The OFS is just a transfer of ownership and does not dilute capital. The issue was overall subscribed 32.23 times, with the maximum subscription coming from the QIB segment, which got subscribed over 48.91 times. While the HNI / NII segment got subscribed about 14.90 times, the retail portion got subscribed 9.96 times. Most of the QIB subscriptions came in on the last day of the IPO, which is the norm. The price band for the IPO was Rs386 to Rs407, and looking at the response, it looks fairly likely that the price discovery would eventually happen at the upper end of the price band.

The basis of allotment will be finalized late on Wednesday, 16th November 2022. The demat credits are expected to happen on 18th November 2022 while the listing of the stock on the NSE and the BSE will happen on 21st November 2022.
