The primary market is set for a busy week, with five mainboard initial public offerings (IPOs) scheduled to open for subscription and companies set to make their stock-market debuts. Trading on the BSE and National Stock Exchange (NSE) will remain suspended on Monday, September 14, on account of Ganesh Chaturthi, with IPO activity resuming from Tuesday, September 15.

The much-awaited NSE IPO will open for public subscription on September 17 and close on September 21. The anchor book will open on September 16, according to the red herring prospectus (RHP).

The IPO comprises an offer for sale (OFS) of 12.64 crore equity shares, down from 14.9 crore shares proposed in the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP). This represents a reduction of around 15 per cent in the number of shares offered.

The NSE IPO price band has been fixed at Rs 1,700-1,785 per share. At the upper end of the price band, the issue is estimated to raise around Rs 22,569 crore. Since the issue is entirely an OFS, the proceeds will accrue to the selling shareholders.
