Manilam Industries IPO GMP, Price Band, Subscription Status, Allotment Date

Manilam 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.

Manilam Industries is an SME issue raising ₹40 Crores, offered in a band of ₹65–₹69 per share. At the upper end that is 6.9 times the ₹10 face value, so ₹59 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 Manilam Industries needs one lot of 4000 shares, which works out to ₹2,76,000 at the upper band of ₹69. 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 a single lot; bidding above that moves the application into the non-institutional category, and the large-HNI bucket begins at ₹10,00,000, or about 4 lots.

For Manilam Industries, bidding runs 20-24 February, allotment is finalised on 25 Feb 2026, the shares list on 27 Feb 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 19.07% to qualified institutional buyers, 14.3% to non-institutional investors, 33.3% to retail. At 33.3%, 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 book is 6.33x subscribed across all categories. That headline covers institutional, non-institutional and retail bids together, and allotment odds are decided within each category separately — an issue can be heavily subscribed overall while the retail portion is comfortable, or the other way round. An oversubscribed retail book is settled by a draw on single-lot applications, so more distinct PANs help where a bigger single bid does not.

MAS Services Limited is the registrar for this issue, which means the allotment status for Manilam Industries is published on their portal from 25 Feb 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.
