The details

  • Turtlemint's shares listed on the stock exchange at ₹134.9, an 11.25% discount to the IPO issue price of ₹152.
  • The company raised ₹883 crore through its IPO, with a price band of ₹144-152 per share.
  • The IPO included a fresh issue of ₹661 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of 1.46 crore shares worth ₹222 crore.
  • The IPO was subscribed 1.2 times overall, indicating moderate investor interest.
  • At the IPO price, the company was valued at ₹4,513 crore (approximately $475 million).
  • Retail investors who bought one lot (98 shares) saw a notional loss of ₹1,676, as their investment dropped from ₹14,896 to ₹13,220.

The bigger picture
