Rays of Belief IPO Day 1 Subscription Status
The IPO had received bids for about 23.58 lakh shares against roughly 31.38 lakh shares available to the public, excluding the anchor portion, taking overall subscription to 0.75x in the latest verified snapshot.
| Investor category | Day 1 subscription |
| Qualified Institutional Buyers | 0.00x |
| Non-Institutional Investors | 0.22x |
| Small NII | 0.46x |
| Big NII | 0.09x |
| Retail investors | 4.18x |
| Overall | 0.75x |
Retail participation is the clear driver so far. NIIs have made a comparatively limited contribution, while institutional bidding remains negligible at this stage.
The category multiples should not be read as the number of unique applicants. They compare the quantity of shares bid for with the shares reserved for each category. Retail also has a smaller allocation than the institutional portion, so its subscription multiple can rise more quickly.
What the Day 1 Subscription Numbers Indicate So Far
The opening-day response is not broad-based yet. Retail demand has crossed four times the shares available to that category, but the IPO itself remains below full subscription because participation from NIIs and QIBs is much lower.
Institutional participation often builds later in an IPO bidding period, particularly closer to the final day, but that pattern does not predict what QIB demand will be here. Day 1 figures are interim and can change materially before bidding closes.
For Day 2, the main question will be whether NII and QIB participation improves enough to make the demand profile less dependent on retail bidding.
Rays of Belief IPO GMP Today and Estimated Listing Price
The latest working GMP reading is around ₹50 per share. One other tracked quote is slightly lower at about ₹48, so grey-market sources are not completely aligned. The difference is modest, but it reinforces why GMP should be treated as an unofficial indicator rather than a precise market price.
Using ₹50 as the current reading:
Indicative price = ₹239 upper price band + ₹50 GMP = ₹289
GMP percentage = ₹50 ÷ ₹239 × 100 = about 20.9%
The previous available reading on 31 August was also around ₹50 on the same tracking series, indicating little change. Other trackers have reported somewhat different figures.
GMP is unofficial, unregulated, and can change quickly. It is not published by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, BSE Limited, or the National Stock Exchange of India, and it does not guarantee a ₹289 listing price or any listing gain.
What Stands Out in Today’s Bidding
Two points stand out. First, retail subscription at 4.18x is substantially ahead of every other category. Second, the positive GMP of roughly 20.9% is running alongside a still-under-subscribed overall book, showing that subscription data and grey-market sentiment are sending somewhat different signals at this stage.
There are also important limitations. Day 1 bidding is incomplete, and QIB participation can look very different later in the issue period. In addition, high retail subscription or a positive GMP does not establish fair valuation, business quality, or future returns.
IPO Details Retail Investors Need
| IPO detail | Information |
| Price band | ₹227 to ₹239 per share |
| Lot size | 62 shares |
| Minimum retail investment | ₹14,818 at the upper band |
| Issue size | ₹125 crore |
| Fresh issue | ₹125 crore |
| Offer for Sale (OFS) | Nil |
| Issue type | 100% book-built mainboard issue |
| Closing date | 3 September 2026 |
| Expected listing date | 8 September 2026 |

The issue consists entirely of fresh shares, so the IPO proceeds are being raised for the company rather than being paid to existing shareholders through an OFS.
Brief Company and Financial Context
Rays of Belief operates the Mom’s Belief brand and provides personalised intervention programmes for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Its services include occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, parental guidance, and other developmental support.
Revenue from operations increased to ₹81.66 crore in FY2026 from ₹36.42 crore in FY2025, while profit after tax declined to ₹4.96 crore from ₹5.88 crore. Overseas centres contributed a significant share of FY2026 revenue from operations. Fresh proceeds are intended mainly for new centres, lease payments, the US subsidiary, brand-building, acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. A key risk is the company’s dependence on leased premises, including fit-out expenditure that may not be recoverable if locations close or leases are not renewed.
What Happens Next
Day 2 bidding is scheduled for 2 September 2026. Investors can watch whether the overall subscription moves above 1x, whether NII demand accelerates, whether QIB participation begins to build, and whether retail demand remains the main driver.
The GMP trend also bears watching because the current ₹48 to ₹50 range is unofficial and could move independently of subscription figures before the issue closes on 3 September.
