The wait is finally over for investors who participated in the highly-anticipated Highway Infrastructure IPO. The basis of allotment is being finalized, and applicants are now eagerly checking their status to see if they have been allocated shares. The market sentiment surrounding the issue remains overwhelmingly positive, with the Grey Market Premium (GMP) indicating a strong possibility of a bumper listing on the stock exchanges.
The Highway Infrastructure IPO, which was open for subscription from August 5 to August 7, witnessed phenomenal demand from all categories of investors. The issue was subscribed a massive 300 times, with the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) segment oversubscribed by 420.57 times, the Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) by an astounding 447.32 times, and the retail portion by 155.58 times.

While the GMP is not a guarantee of the final listing price, it provides a strong indication of market sentiment and investor expectations.
