Augmont Enterprises IPO Subscription Reaches 2.74x on Day Two
Augmont Enterprises is selling shares to the public in an IPO.
On the second bidding day, investors placed orders for 2.74 times the shares available.
Non-institutional investors showed the strongest interest.
Retail investors, large institutional investors and employees also placed bids.
The share price range is ₹750 to ₹788.
The company hopes to raise ₹8,250 million if the upper price is reached.
It plans to use much of the new money to buy bullion and manage inventory.
Analysts see growth opportunities but warn that profits are small compared with revenue and precious-metal prices can change quickly.
Augmont Enterprises’ IPO was subscribed 2.74 times overall on the second bidding day, with 2,11,43,029 bids against 77,15,999 shares offered.
The NII category led subscription at 3.97 times, including 5.82 times in the sub-₹10 lakh segment.
Retail investors subscribed 2.79 times, QIBs 1.76 times and employees 1.41 times.
Priced at ₹750–788 per share, the IPO aims to raise ₹8,250 million at the upper band.
Fresh-issue proceeds will primarily support bullion procurement and inventory-management working capital.
