The issue will remain open until Sep 21, and the shares will list on the BSE on Sep 24.

The IPO is entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of 12.64 crore shares by 10 existing shareholders, with a price band of ₹1,700-1,785 per share. There is no fresh issue, which means NSE will not receive any proceeds from the IPO. After issue-related expenses, the proceeds will go to the selling shareholders.
