Retail investors showed strong interest, with their portion subscribed 8.83 times, while the Non-Institutional Investor (NII) category saw 4.34 times subscription. However, there has been minimal participation so far from Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), who were allotted 60.65 lakh shares.
Shares of Aditya Infotech are tentatively set to be listed on both the BSE and NSE on August 5.
The grey market premium (GMP) for the IPO was seen at approximately Rs 281 over the issue price of Rs 675, indicating that the shares are trading unofficially at around Rs 956 ahead of their market debut.

Centre releases Rs 3,000 crore for CMRL Phase 2 in 2025-26
CHENNAI: The union government has released Rs 3,000 crore so far this financial year towards Chennai Metro Rail's Phase 2 project, according to a Right to Information (RTI) response accessed by TNIE. The funds, disbursed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs as of July 28, form part of a total outlay of Rs 8,445.8 crore earmarked for the project in 2025-26 — the single-largest allocation for any metro project across the country this year. The release includes the full equity contribution of Rs 1,841.2 crore, Rs 158.8 crore in subordinate debt, and Rs 1,000 crore in pass-through assistance (PTA) from external agencies, according to the ministry's reply to RTI petitioner Dayanand Krishnan. A senior official with Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) said the centre had already released approximately Rs 5,400 crore before March 2025, following the formal approval of Phase 2 as a central sector scheme in October 2024. 'The Rs 3,000 crore includes funds received during April and May. In total, Tamil Nadu has received around Rs 8,400 crore so far. It's not disbursed in tranches — funds are released as and when needed,' the official said. Spanning 118.9 km across three corridors, Phase 2 is one of India's largest ongoing urban mobility investments. Its reclassification as a central sector scheme last year has unlocked direct funding from the union government, after years of procedural delays. The steady flow of funds is expected to ease financial pressure on the Tamil Nadu government, which has been seeking continued central support for its expanding mass transit infrastructure. The large allocation also signals the strategic and political significance of the project, with Chennai emerging as a key node in India's urban transport agenda. RTI activist Krishnan, who has closely tracked metro funding in Tamil Nadu, urged the union government to expedite approvals and funding for three pending proposals from the state: A new corridor linking Chennai Airport to Kilambakkam, and greenfield metro projects in Madurai and Coimbatore. Concrete moves Release includes equity of Rs 1,841 cr, Rs 158 cr subordinate debt, Rs 1K c assistance from external agencies In total, Tamil Nadu has received around Rs 8,400 crore so far, says official 118.9 km across 3 corridors; Phase 2 is one of India's largest urban mobility projects

Highway Infrastructure IPO day 3 Live: GMP, subscription status to review. Apply or not?
Highway Infrastructure IPO day 3: The initial public offering (IPO) of Highway Infrastructure Limited opened on 5 July 2025 and will remain open until 7 August 2025. This means investors have just one day to apply for the public issue. The Indian infrastructure company has declared the Highway Infrastructure IPO price band at ₹ 65 to ₹ 70 per equity share. The company aims to raise ₹ 130 crore from this fresh capital-cum offer for sale. The public issue is proposed for listing on the BSE and the NSE. According to the Highway Infrastructure IPO subscription status, the public offer received a strong response from investors. It had been subscribed to its offer nearly 73 times after bidding on day 2. Meanwhile, company shares are available in the grey market at a robust premium. According to market observers, Highway Infrastructure shares are available at a premium of ₹ 41 in the grey market today. This is ₹ 3 higher than Wednesday's Highway Infrastructure IPO GMP of ₹ 38. Observers said that the Highway Infrastructure IPO GMP has surged despite the sell-off in the secondary market on Wednesday. They expected further improvement in the grey market sentiment regarding the Highway Infrastructure IPO once there is a trend reversal on Dalal Street. By 5:00 PM on day 2 of bidding, the public issue had been subscribed 72.92 times, the retail portion had been booked 73.55 times, the NII portion had been filled 97.70 times, whereas the QIB segment had been booked 7.10 times. Assigning a 'subscribe' tag to the public issue, Anand Rathi says, "At the upper price band, the company is valued at a FY25 P/E of 22.5x, with a post-issue market capitalisation of ₹ 5,020 million. It presents a niche opportunity in India's tollway and EPC infrastructure space, supported by consistent growth and a robust order book. Using ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology in toll systems provides a competitive advantage, while the combination of toll and EPC businesses offers diversified revenue streams. Considering these factors, the IPO seems fully priced, and a "SUBSCRIBE – LONG TERM" recommendation is suggested." On whether one should apply for the IPO, Arun Kejriwal, Founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services, said, "Infra is a segment where a four-digit order book is a common phenomenon. Looking at the Highway Infrastructure IPO size of ₹ 130 crore, it seems the company has limited opportunity, and the public issue is on the borderline of SME and mainboard." Highway Infrastructure IPO allotment date is most likely on 8 August, while Highway Infrastructure IPO listing date is most likely on 12 August 2025.
