Orkla India's Blockbuster IPO Oversubscribed 48.74x, Shares Poised for Robust Debut

Orkla India's highly anticipated ₹1,667 crore initial public offering (IPO) has been a resounding success, attracting overwhelming investor demand. The IPO, which was open for subscription between October 29 and October 31, 2025, was subscribed 48.74 times overall, with the qualified institutional buyer (QIB) portion subscribed 117.6 times, the non-institutional investor (NII) portion 54.4 times, and the retail portion 7.06 times.

The strong response to the IPO reflects the strong institutional interest in the company, with the anchor book raising ₹500 crore from marquee investors ahead of the public issue. Orkla India, known for its iconic food brands like MTR Foods, Eastern Condiments, and Rasoi Magic, is one of India's leading packaged food makers with a large presence across South India and exports to 42 countries.

Investors who applied for the IPO can now check their share allotment status, as the company finalizes the allocations. The shares are set to be credited to successful applicants' demat accounts on November 4, 2025, and the stock will make its debut on the BSE and NSE on November 6, 2025. The grey market premium currently stands at around 13%, suggesting potential listing gains of nearly ₹95 per share.
