Omnitech Engineering shares list at 11% discount to IPO price on bourses

Shares of Omnitech Engineering made a tepid D-Street debut on Thursday, listing at a steep discount to the IPO price. The stock opened at Rs 202 apiece on the NSE compared with the IPO price of Rs 227. On the BSE, Omnitech Engineering shares debuted at Rs 205, nearly 9.69% lower than the issue price.

The listing was broadly in line with unlisted market expectations, which had suggested a discounted debut. The stock was seen trading at a negative GMP ahead of the listing.

The book-built issue, which closed on February 27, comprised a fresh issue of 1.84 crore shares aggregating to Rs 418 crore and an offer for sale of 0.73 crore shares worth Rs 165 crore. The price band was set at Rs 216-227 per share, with the issue priced at the upper end at Rs 227.


At the issue price, the company commands a pre-IPO market cap of about Rs 2,807 crore. Post listing, promoter holding will dilute from about 94% to 74%.

The IPO received an overall subscription of 1.20 times. The QIB portion (excluding anchor) was subscribed 3 times, while the NII category saw 0.77 times subscription and the retail portion lagged at 0.35 times. The employee segment was subscribed 4.47 times. Ahead of the issue, the company raised Rs 174.60 crore from anchor investors.

While institutional demand was relatively strong, weak retail participation and the negative GMP suggest listing gains may be limited. Market participants will watch closely whether institutional interest provides support post listing or whether broader market volatility keeps the debut under pressure.
