Allotment Finalization Today
Lumino Industries is expected to finalise the basis of allotment for its ₹700-crore initial public offering (IPO) on September 1, according to reports from The Economic Times and Livemint. The allotment comes after a three-day subscription period that saw overwhelming investor demand. Applicants should receive updates on their allotment status today, while successful bidders may also face debits from their bank accounts.
The company, an integrated EPC and manufacturing firm in power transmission and distribution, is set to list on the BSE and NSE on September 3. Refunds and credit of shares to successful applicants are expected to take place on September 2, following the finalisation of the allotment.
Subscription Highlights
The IPO, which opened on August 27 and closed on August 31, drew massive response. The issue was subscribed 124.02 times overall, with bids for 745.63 crore shares against the 6.01 crore shares available. Qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) drove the demand, subscribing 232.79 times their allotted portion. The non-institutional investor (NII) category was subscribed 185.21 times, while the retail quota received bids 40.27 times the shares on offer. The employee portion was subscribed 12.37 times.
The price band was set at ₹78–₹82 per share. The issue comprised a fresh issue of ₹500 crore (6.10 crore shares) and an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹200 crore (2.44 crore shares) by promoters Devendra Goel and Jay Goel.
Grey Market Premium Signals Strong Debut
Lumino Industries shares were commanding a grey market premium (GMP) of around ₹48 per share, as reported by The Economic Times and Livemint. Considering the upper end of the price band at ₹82, the GMP indicates an estimated listing price of around ₹130, translating into a potential listing gain of 58.54% (approximately 59%). However, both sources caution that the grey market operates unofficially and GMP levels can fluctuate frequently depending on market sentiment.
Company Profile and Financials
Established in 2005, Lumino Industries is an integrated EPC and manufacturing company in the power transmission and distribution sector. As of March 31, 2026, the company had 890 permanent employees, according to The Economic Times.
Financially, Lumino reported a total income of ₹31 crore for FY26, up 7%, with profit after tax (PAT) rising 28% to ₹160 crore.
