On the last day, QIB interest zoomed and the investors bid for 52.19 Cr shares against the 2.70 Cr shares reserved for them. This translated to a subscription of 19.30X.

Meanwhile, the portion reserved for employees saw the second-highest subscription, receiving bids for 4.68 Lakh shares against 71.2K shares on offer. This translated to a 6.57X subscription for the employee quota.
