Within the non-institutional portion, bids above ₹10 lakh (bNII) came in at 184.73x and bids of ₹2 lakh to ₹10 lakh (sNII) at 143.37x. The employee quota was 54.31x. With the retail portion booked 31.07x, roughly one retail application in 31 can expect a lot, because allotment is by lottery once a portion is oversubscribed.

What our data shows

At ₹852.18 crore, this is the 36th largest of the 105 mainboard IPOs that closed in 2026. Our tracker has held the premium in a narrow band: ₹500 (71.43%) on 14 and 15 October, ₹516 on 16 October, ₹505 on 17 October and ₹515 (73.57%) on 18 and 19 October. On the last 10 mainboard listings, the final GMP was off by 11 percentage points on average. The grey market has not always been right, and it is an unofficial dealer quote. JM Financial had 24 of its 33 earlier listings open above the issue price.

What the company does

Tonbo Imaging India is a Bengaluru defence electronics company. It designs sensing, targeting and surveillance systems, such as thermal weapon sights and fire control systems. The IPO is a pure offer for sale, so the company receives nothing from it.

The numbers behind the issue

Total income fell from ₹474.39 crore in FY2025 to ₹369.94 crore in FY2026, and profit after tax fell from ₹72.76 crore to ₹50.88 crore. The quarter to 30 June 2026 showed a loss of ₹17.74 crore on income of ₹37.32 crore. Promoter holding goes from 18.58% to 15.72% after the sale. The post-issue market value at the upper band is ₹4,009.75 crore.
