What is ending on 26 October?

Free to trade does not mean they will sell. Some funds hold for years. Others book profit at the first chance. Nobody can say in advance which it will be.
What our data shows
Lohia Corp was not a crowd favourite at the time. It was subscribed 7.25x, the #66 most subscribed of 107 mainboard IPOs that closed in 2026, against a median of 22.19x. Retail booked 2.77x. The grey market was at ₹17 (4.0%) on listing eve, and the shares opened at ₹461, a gain of 8.47% that ranks #47 of 106 listings this year. The median listing gain this year is 6.92%. The stock has moved well beyond all of that since.
How does this compare with the listing?
At listing on 30 July, the shares opened at ₹461 against the ₹425 issue price. Anchors were sitting on a gain of ₹36 a share on day one. The lead managers were Equirus Capital and Motilal Oswal. Motilal Oswal's earlier listings on our records opened above the issue price 15 times out of 22, with an average gain of 10.4%. Equirus had 4 of 5. That is a record of past pricing, not a forecast for this stock.
