Atlanta Electricals’ Stock Slips After Strong Market Debut
Atlanta Electricals shares retreated from initial gains after a robust debut on Indian exchanges. The stock opened at ₹857 on the NSE and ₹858.10 on the BSE, marking a 13.7% premium over its ₹754 IPO price, but later traded as low as ₹806.
The ₹687 crore IPO saw overwhelming demand, with institutional investors bidding 195 times the allotted shares. Retail participation remained strong at 10.4x subscription. Anchor investors committed ₹205 crore ahead of the public offering.
Market observers note the pullback reflects typical profit-taking after a heated IPO. The electrical equipment manufacturer's listing comes amid volatile conditions in India's primary market, though quality issuances continue attracting capital.
