The issue price is quite attractive and one can ‘apply for strong listing gain’,’ he said.

Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities, too gave a ‘subscribe’ tag.

“The public offer is less than 50% of the valuations of its peers. So, the issue is expected to receive a strong response from investors, and looking at its size, I won’t be surprised if the book build issue gets fully subscribed in few hours of the issue opening on Tuesday.”
