Mumbai: The initial public offering of Tega Industries Limited ("Company"), has achieved the highest subscription from the qualified institutional buyers (QIB) category in a decade. On the last day of subscription, the QIB portion was subscribed 215.45* times. Overall, the issue was oversubscribed by 219.04 times.

QIB portion of HDFC Asset Management Company was subscribed 192.26 times, followed by Indigo Paints 189.57 times, Tatva Chintan 185.23 times and Mrs. Bectors Food Specialties 176.85 times.

Robust QIB category bid indicates money is waiting on the sidelines for quality IPOs since interest in the broader markets seemed less. Brokerage are of the view that QIB interest is higher in new kind of businesses where either there are little or no listed companies in that space.
