Acme India Industries IPO GMP ₹30 Today (1 Oct), Price Band, Subscription Status, Allotment Date

Acme India Industries IPO Review & Analysis

Our reading of the numbers below — growth rates, margins, pricing and demand are calculated from the company's own filed figures, not copied from anywhere.

Acme India Industries is an SME issue raising ₹122 Cr, offered in a band of ₹186–₹196 per share. At the upper end that is 19.6 times the ₹10 face value, so ₹186 of every share subscribed is share premium rather than capital. SME issues list on the BSE SME or NSE Emerge platform rather than the main board. They trade in fixed lots after listing, carry no retail-versus-HNI cut-off bidding, and are usually far less liquid, so exiting a position can take longer than on the main board.

A retail application for Acme India Industries needs one lot of 600 shares, which works out to ₹1,17,600 at the upper band of ₹196. SME lots are deliberately sized above ₹1,00,000, so this is a far larger single commitment than a mainboard application and rules out most small investors. Retail applications are capped at ₹2,00,000, which here is 1 lot; bidding above that moves the application into the non-institutional category, and the large-HNI bucket begins at ₹10,00,000, or about 9 lots.

For Acme India Industries, bidding runs 30-6 October, allotment is finalised on 7 Oct 2026, the shares list on 9 Oct 2026. Applications that do not receive an allotment have their UPI mandate released around 1 day after the issue closes. Counting from the close of bidding, money stays blocked for roughly 3 days before listing decides what the holding is worth.

The issue is reserved 47.43% to qualified institutional buyers, 14.26% to non-institutional investors, 33.24% to retail. At 33.24%, the retail portion is on the narrower side, so retail allotment turns into a lottery quickly once the book fills. An oversubscribed retail portion is not allotted in proportion to the amount applied for: applications are reduced to single lots and drawn by lot, so several small applications from different PANs are more effective than one large one.

The issue splits into ₹100 Cr of fresh capital (82%) and ₹16 Cr as an offer for sale. The company keeps the fresh portion for the objects of the issue, while the rest is existing shareholders monetising their stake.

Revenue moved from ₹213.45 Cr in 31 Mar 2025 to ₹267.89 Cr in 31 Mar 2026 (+25.5%), while profit after tax went from ₹16.46 Cr to ₹24.36 Cr (+48%). Profit grew faster than revenue, which points to operating leverage or a better cost mix rather than growth bought purely through volume.

Institutional investors have bid for 5.7x their portion against 0.29x from retail. Institutions committing ahead of retail is generally read as confidence in the pricing.

Bigshare Services Pvt.Ltd. is the registrar for this issue, which means the allotment status for Acme India Industries is published on their portal from 7 Oct 2026. A PAN, application number or demat client ID is enough to look it up; the credited shares also appear in the demat account itself a day or so before listing.

A grey market premium of ₹30 on the upper band of ₹196 implies a listing gain of roughly 15.3%. The grey market is unofficial and unregulated, the premium can change daily, and it has no bearing on allotment — treat it as a sentiment reading, not a forecast.
