- The reported Rs 14 grey-market premium is unofficial and does not establish the eventual listing price.

Zetwerk IPO demand remains below full subscription
Opening-day bids covered less than a quarter of the 18.50 crore shares available for subscription. Qualified institutional buyers showed the strongest participation relative to their allocation, while non-institutional investors subscribed to less than a tenth of their reserved portion.
These figures describe demand at the end of the first bidding day, not a completed second-day tally. Investors still had until October 19 to submit applications.
Zetwerk’s August 14, 2026 draft offer-document filing with SEBI preceded the October offering. That filing page documents the earlier regulatory submission; it does not establish the final offer price or the opening-day subscription figures.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Qualified institutional buyers | 30% subscribed on day one; 9.89 crore shares allocated. |
| Retail individual investors | 22% subscribed on day one; 3.41 crore shares allocated. |
| Non-institutional investors | 9% subscribed on day one; 5.12 crore shares allocated. |
Offer structure and application terms
The fresh issue will raise money for the company, while proceeds from the offer for sale will go to selling shareholders. Zetwerk plans to use fresh capital for repayment or prepayment of borrowings, unidentified acquisitions and other strategic acquisitions, and general corporate purposes.
Applications must be made for at least 99 shares and in multiples of 99 thereafter. One lot costs Rs 14,949 at the upper price of Rs 151 per share. Eligible employees applying through the employee reservation portion receive a Rs 14-per-share discount.
Before public bidding, Zetwerk raised Rs 2,251.23 crore from 99 anchor investors on October 14, allocating shares at Rs 151 each. Participants included BlackRock, Goldman Sachs and Nomura.
Unofficial premium is separate from financial performance
The reported grey-market premium was Rs 14 per share, equivalent to about 9.27% above the upper offer price. This is an unofficial indication rather than an exchange-traded price or a guaranteed listing gain, and it can change before trading begins.
Zetwerk reported a loss for fiscal 2026, leaving basic and diluted earnings per share negative and its price-to-earnings ratio unascertainable. Its weighted average return on net worth over the last three financial years was negative 15.64%.
The manufacturing platform connects industrial and consumer businesses with production partners and provides services including design, quality control and logistics. Its activities span electronics, renewable energy, aerospace and defence, and other industrial markets.
Allotment and listing remain scheduled milestones
The basis of allotment is expected to be finalized on October 21, 2026. Listing on the BSE and NSE is tentatively scheduled for October 23. KFin Technologies is the issue registrar.
Conclusion
The next milestone is the October 19 bidding deadline, when final subscription levels will provide a fuller picture of demand. Allotment and listing are expected to follow, with the listing date still tentative.
