HD Fire Protect IPO Subscribed Over Four Times on Opening Day with Strong Investor Interest
HD Fire Protect's Rs 712-crore IPO opened on October 13 and was subscribed over four times on the first day, with strong demand from non-institutional investors and retail buyers. The issue is an offer for sale by promoters, with no fresh shares issued, and the company will not receive proceeds. The price band is set at Rs 258-271 per share, with shares expected to list on October 21. Brokerages highlighted the company's global certifications and long-standing market presence. Grey market premiums indicate a potential listing price above the upper band, though unofficially.
