Pine Labs’ IPO bidding period will conclude today, with a lukewarm response from investors. Despite being highly anticipated in the fintech sector, the IPO has not generated significant demand and is undersubscribed across most investor segments.
As of the morning of November 11, 2025, the IPO had an overall subscription rate of 0.57 times. The retail category achieved full subscription at 1.00 times, while the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) portion reached 0.63 times, and the Non-Institutional Investor (NII) segment only reached 0.14 times.
The IPO, valued at Rs 3,899.91 crore, comprises a fresh issue of 9.41 crore shares amounting to Rs 2,080 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of 8.23 crore shares worth Rs 1,819.91 crore.
Commencing on November 7, 2025, the Pine Labs IPO is set to close today, November 11, 2025. Allotment is scheduled for November 12, with the stock expected to debut on the BSE and NSE on November 14, 2025.
With a price range of Rs 210 to Rs 221 per share and a lot size of 67 shares, retail investors need a minimum investment of Rs 14,807. Small Non-Institutional Investors (sNII) must apply for 14 lots (938 shares) worth Rs 2,07,298, while large NIIs (bNII) need to apply for 68 lots (4,556 shares) worth Rs 10,06,876.
Additionally, there is a provision for employees to reserve up to 1,25,000 shares at a discounted rate of Rs 21 per share from the issue price.
The latest Grey Market Premium (GMP) for the Pine Labs IPO, as of November 11, 2025, is Rs 0, indicating that the stock is likely to list close to its issue price of Rs 221, with minimal expected fluctuations.
The decline in GMP from Rs 35 on November 3 to Rs 0 on November 11 reflects waning investor interest, suggesting a cautious sentiment towards potential short-term gains. This shift could be attributed to concerns regarding valuation, near-term profitability, and limited listing-day upside.
