The figures refer to the quantity of shares bid for relative to the shares available in each category. They do not represent the number of unique applicants. Category multiples should also be read in the context of the different share allocations available to each investor group.
Final Day-wise Subscription Trend
Ardee Industries IPO saw most of its subscription acceleration on the final day. The issue moved from 3.08 times on Day 1 to 14.16 times at the end of Day 2, before closing at 138.83 times on Day 3.
| Bidding stage | Overall subscription | Key development |
| Day 1 close | 3.08x | Issue crossed full subscription on opening day |
| Day 2 close | 14.16x | NII and retail demand strengthened |
| Day 3 final | 138.83x | NII and QIB bids drove a sharp final-day increase |
The final book was relatively broad-based because QIB, NII, and retail portions were all subscribed many times over. NIIs recorded the highest multiple, but the rise in QIB participation was also significant, particularly because institutional bidding often builds later in the offer period.
Ardee Industries IPO GMP Today and Estimated Listing Price
Ardee Industries IPO GMP was around Rs 14 as of early evening on 7 August 2026, compared with an available reading of about Rs 15 on 6 August. That represents a decline of roughly Rs 1 even as the official subscription multiple increased sharply on Closing Day.
At the upper price band of Rs 53:
Indicative price = Rs 53 + Rs 14 = Rs 67
GMP percentage = Rs 14 / Rs 53 × 100 = 26.4%
The grey market is unofficial and unregulated. GMP can change quickly before listing and does not guarantee that Ardee Industries shares will list at Rs 67 or deliver a 26.4% gain.
What Stands Out in Today’s Bidding
Two signals are notable. First, final demand was not confined to retail investors. NIIs subscribed 266.75 times, and QIB demand reached 202.26 times, showing that the Closing Day acceleration came from multiple investor segments.
Second, subscription and GMP moved differently. While subscription jumped from 14.16 times after Day 2 to 138.83 times at the final close, the latest GMP was slightly below the previous available reading.
That divergence matters because subscription and GMP measure different things. High subscription does not establish fair valuation, business quality, or future returns, and GMP remains an unofficial sentiment indicator rather than a reliable listing-price forecast.

Brief Company and Financial Context
Ardee Industries operates in the circular economy, recovering and recycling end-of-life energy storage products and non-ferrous scrap into refined lead and customised lead alloys. Revenue increased to about Rs 1,167.65 crore in FY2026 from Rs 743.53 crore in FY2025, while profit after tax rose to about Rs 84.68 crore from Rs 33.27 crore.
Of the fresh issue proceeds, Rs 220 crore is intended for working-capital requirements and Rs 20 crore for repayment or prepayment of borrowings. A material consideration is customer and end-market concentration, which can increase exposure to changes in demand from major buyers and the lead-based battery industry.
What Happens Next
With bidding now closed, the basis of allotment is expected to be finalised on 10 August 2026. Ardee Industries shares are tentatively scheduled to list on the BSE and National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) on 12 August 2026. The final issue price and subsequent listing performance should be assessed separately from subscription multiples and grey market indications.
