Amba Auto Sales & Services IPO Opening April 27 2026 Marks ₹65 Crore SME Issue Launch 

Mumbai, April 27: Amba Auto Sales & Services IPO opened for subscription on Monday, launching a ₹65.12 crore book-built issue on the NSE SME platform. The offer remains open until April 29, 2026, according to the company’s prospectus and exchange filings. 

The IPO is entirely a fresh issue of 48,24,000 equity shares, indicating that proceeds will flow directly to the company rather than existing shareholders. This structure, as outlined in the RHP, typically signals capital deployment toward expansion, working capital, or debt adjustments. 

Issue Structure and Price Band 

The company has fixed a price band of ₹130 to ₹135 per share for the offering. At the upper end, the total issue size aggregates to approximately ₹65.12 crore. 

A book-building issue means investors bid within this price range, and the final price is determined based on demand during the subscription period. This mechanism allows market-driven price discovery rather than a fixed-price allocation. 

The face value of each share is ₹10, with the issue being listed on the NSE SME segment, which caters to small and medium enterprises seeking public capital. 

Lot Size and Investment Threshold 

The minimum application size is 1,000 shares, translating to an investment of ₹1,35,000 at the upper price band for retail investors. For HNI participants, the minimum threshold begins at three lots (3,000 shares), amounting to ₹4,05,000. 

Lot size refers to the minimum number of shares investors must apply for in an IPO. SME offerings typically have larger lot sizes compared to mainboard IPOs, which raises the entry threshold for participation. 

Allocation Breakdown 

Out of the net offer of 45,82,000 shares: 

• 10.13% is reserved for Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs)  
• 49.89% is allocated to Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs or HNIs)  
• 39.98% is earmarked for Retail Individual Investors (RIIs)  

Additionally, 2,42,000 shares are reserved for the market maker, Rikhav Securities Ltd., to provide liquidity post-listing. 

Such allocation ensures participation across investor categories while maintaining post-listing trading stability through market-making support.
