Reading an Upcoming Mainboard IPO Before It Opens

A Mainboard issue has already cleared a substantial eligibility filter by the time it appears here. Knowing which route it qualified under tells you a good deal about the company.

• The profitability route. Net tangible assets of at least Rs 3 crore in each of the last three financial years, average operating profit of at least Rs 15 crore in three of the last five, and post-issue paid-up capital of at least Rs 10 crore.
• Or the QIB route. A company that cannot meet those tests may still list by allocating at least 75% of the issue to qualified institutional buyers, with 10% to retail and 15% to NII. That split is itself a signal: retail is being given a smaller share because institutions are underwriting the risk.
• The prospectus timeline is predictable. Roughly 30 days from draft filing to SEBI's observation letter, after which the company has up to a year to launch. The final prospectus carrying the price band and dates usually lands one to two weeks before the issue opens.
• The anchor book is the last preview. Anchors are allocated one working day before the public issue opens. For issues up to Rs 250 crore there must be between 5 and 15 anchors at a minimum of Rs 5 crore each, and anchors can take up to 60% of the QIB portion.
• Promoter lock-in. The minimum promoter contribution of 20% of post-issue capital is locked for 18 months, with excess holdings locked for six.

IPO investing carries risk of capital loss, allotment is not guaranteed, and grey market premium is an unofficial signal rather than a prediction. Nothing here is investment advice — read the offer document and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before committing capital.
