The Rs.1,335.74 crore IPO of Rategain Travel Technologies, consisting of a fresh issue of Rs.375 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of Rs.960.74 crore, had seen tepid response on Day-1 of the IPO. As per the combined bid details put out by the BSE at the end of Day-2, Rategain Travel Technologies IPO was subscribed just 0.75X overall, with strong demand coming only from the retail segment but limited interest seen in the QIB and in the HNI counters. The issue will close for subscription on Thursday, 09th December.

As of close of 08th December, out of the 173.51 lakh shares on offer in the IPO, Rategain Travel Technologies saw bids for 129.33 lakh shares. This implies an overall subscription of 0.75X. The granular break-up of subscriptions was dominated by the retail investors.

The QIB response and the HNI / NII response was virtually absent even on the second day of the IPO. Normally, it is only on the last day of bidding, the NII bids and the QIB bids build up substantial momentum. We have to await for the response on the last day.

This is a relatively tepid response at the close of Day-2 but this segment normally sees the maximum response bunched on the last day. Bulk of the funded applications and corporate applications, come in on the last day of the IPO only.
