The smaller NII segment has reached 2.35 times, comfortably ahead of the 0.76 times recorded by the larger NII segment.

QIB participation, meanwhile, has been the clear laggard so far. The category was at 0.00 times at the time of the latest update, although institutional bidding can pick up during the later stages of an IPO.

Day-Wise Subscription Trend

Hy-Tech Engineers IPO has only completed its first day of bidding, but the opening session has already pushed the issue beyond full subscription.

The institutional side is yet to pick up, with the QIB portion excluding anchors still at 0.00 times. With three days available for bidding, the subscription mix could change considerably as the IPO moves toward its closing date.
