The granular break-up of subscriptions was dominated by the retail investors with QIB response and HNI response very marginal on the second day.

The list of QIB anchors included a number of marquee international names like Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Blackrock, Fidelity, Nomura, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Wasatch International, Carmignac and Asian Tiger Fund. Domestic investors in the anchor placement included SBI Mutual Fund, Kotak MF, Nippon India MF, Aditya Birla MF, DSP MF, Motilal Oswal MF, SBI Life, ICICI Prudential Life, Edelweiss Alternate Fund etc.

The QIB portion (net of anchor allocation as explained above) has a quota of 35.73 lakh shares of which it has got bids for 3.15 lakh shares at the close of Day-2, implying 0.09X or 9% subscription for QIBs at the end of Day-2.
