Mehul Telecom IPO Sees Strong Subscription, Lists with Moderate Premium on BSE SME

Mehul Telecom's IPO, priced at Rs 98 per share, was highly subscribed—up to 45 times according to some reports—with strong interest from high-net-worth and retail investors. The company operates a mobile retail chain primarily in Gujarat, selling smartphones and accessories through company-owned and franchise stores. Despite revenue growth to over Rs 150 crore and rising profits, the sector's intense competition and thin margins pose challenges. The stock debuted on the BSE SME platform with a modest premium, opening around Rs 108, reflecting cautious investor sentiment.
