QIBs are bidding 200x while Retail is barely touching single digits? Let's talk about Dhoot & Molbio.
Hey everyone,
Was tracking the subscription numbers for the current mainboard IPOs today (August 12) and noticed a massive disconnect between institutional money and retail interest.
QIBs are breaking records with 180x–200x+ subscriptions, but retail participation looks shockingly dead across the board.
Here is the raw data:
1. Dhoot Transmission Limited IPO (Ref: 1000301500.png)
QIB: 209.02x
NII: 53.10x
Retail: 8.20x
Total: 74.99x
Exp. Premium: \~28% (₹244–245)
2. Molbio Diagnostics Limited IPO (Ref: 1000301499.png)
QIB: 186.39x
NII: 49.77x
Retail: 12.71x
Total: 70.13x
Exp. Premium: \~17% (₹137–138)
3. LEAP India Limited IPO (Ref: 1000301497.png)
QIB: 17.73x
NII: 13.31x
Retail: 1.80x
Total Applications: \~9.86 Lakhs
4. Technocraft Ventures Limited IPO (Ref: 1000301498.png)
QIB: 42.26x
NII: 65.06x
Retail: 25.35x
Total Applications: \~13.50 Lakhs
So why is retail completely ghosting these issues while QIBs throw the kitchen sink at them?
The SME Casino: Why block funds for a 17% mainboard pop when SME IPOs are out here doubling capital in a week? Is all the degen retail money just migrating entirely?
Exit Liquidity Awareness: Are retail investors finally wising up and refusing to be exit liquidity for massive private equity dumps?
Allotment Fatigue: Are people just totally burnt out on locking up capital for days only to inevitably get a "0 allotted" message?
Secondary Market Bags: Is retail liquidity simply trapped in recent market dips or previous listing duds?
What’s your take?
