The exchange has fixed the IPO price band at Rs 1,700 to Rs 1,785 per share, with each share carrying a face value of Rs 1. The lot size has been set at eight shares, meaning retail investors will need to invest a minimum of Rs 14,280 to bid for one lot. Further bids will have to be made in multiples of eight shares.

NSE IPO size trimmed
Meanwhile, NSE has cut the size of its proposed IPO offer for sale by around 15%, with several shareholders reducing the number of shares they intend to sell, according to the red herring prospectus (RHP) filed on September 10.
The total OFS has been reduced to up to 12.64 crore shares from the 14.89 crore shares proposed in the UDRHP. This represents a reduction of around 2.25 crore shares.
The entire reduction has come from eight sellers. MS Strategic (Mauritius) has reduced its offer by 0.50 crore shares, while Stock Holding Corporation of India has cut its proposed sale by 0.47 crore shares. General Insurance Corporation of India has reduced its offer by 0.45 crore shares, Bank of Baroda by 0.33 crore shares and National Insurance Company by 0.20 crore shares.
Mahagony Limited has lowered its proposed sale by 0.20 crore shares, while Indian Bank has reduced its offer by 0.10 crore shares. Individual shareholder Amit Kumar Lohia has withdrawn from the OFS entirely, removing 25,000 shares from the proposed sale. Together, these eight sellers account for the full 2.25 crore-share reduction in the OFS.
Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Aranda Investments (Mauritius) and TA Asia Pacific Acquisitions, however, have kept their proposed sale quantities unchanged.
