In this initial phase, the company aims to issue 24,00,000 unit shares to QIIs, with the IPO closing on the 10th of Mangsir, 2080. The company has specified this timeframe for QIIs to participate in the bidding process.

    The company’s total issued capital is Rs. 4.65 Arba, of which 12.9033% (60,00,000 unit shares) will be offered to the public, comprising Qualified Institutional Investors (QIIs) and the general public. Out of this, 40% (24,00,000 shares) will be allocated to Qualified Institutional Investors from the start of the IPO. The preliminary bid submitted by QIIs on 24th Asad suggested a price range of Rs. 501 to Rs. 751.50 per share. However, after a price revision, QIIs can now apply for the IPO with a maximum bid of Rs. 601.50 and a minimum of Rs. 401.
