Kissht Parent OnEMI Opens ₹926 Crore IPO at ₹162–₹171 as Day-1 Demand Starts Slow

Early bids skew to institutions, signaling cautious retail interest.

Overview

  • - OnEMI Technology Solutions opened its three-day IPO on Thursday, April 30, offering shares at ₹162–₹171 and targeting about ₹925–₹926 crore, with subscriptions set to close on May 5.
  • - Ahead of the launch, the company raised ₹277.8 crore by allotting 1.62 crore shares to anchor investors at ₹171, drawing domestic mutual funds and global names such as Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, and Citigroup.
  • - Following Thursday's opening, bids covered roughly 20% of the offer by early afternoon, with qualified institutions near 58% of their quota and retail participation around 4–5%.
  • - Most of the fresh capital will go to its lending arm, Si Creva, to strengthen the balance sheet and support future loan growth, with a smaller portion for general corporate needs.
  • - Brokerages cite strong recent profits and scale but flag risk from a loan book that is about 94% unsecured and gross bad loans near 2.9%–3%, while grey-market quotes of roughly ₹3.5–₹5 suggest only a small listing premium.
