According to data from the National Stock Exchange, the issue received bids for 1.03 crore shares, as against 98.22 lakh shares on offer in the price band of ₹853 to ₹856.

The lacklustre response from retail investors was seen even as many brokerages, including Motilal Oswal Financial Services, Emkay Global, Centrum, Prabhudas Lilladher and Angel Broking among others recommended subscribing to the issue with a long-term investment horizon.

Incidentally, the issue of the micro finance institution (MFI) has largely been supported by institutional investors as the segments reserved for retail and high net worth individuals remained under subscribed.
