Allotment chances depend on IPO oversubscription

One of the critical factors that determines the chances of subscription in an IPO is the extent of subscription. Of course, as an investors you must focus on the segment that you apply in. If you apply in the retail portion, the lower the subscription levels, the higher your chances of allotment. The table below captures the gist of the final subscription numbers of Ratnaveer Precision Engineering Ltd as of the close of trading on 06th September 2023.

The subscription has been quite robust across segments. If you are investing in the retail category, you still stance a good chance since the logic is to ensure more applicants get allotted the minimum lot size. Hence multiple applications of the minimum lot size across family members can be a good method of enhancing chances of allotment in the IPO.
