SD Retail IPO allotment expected today: Step-by-step guide to check your allotment status

The allotment for SD Retail Limited IPO is expected to be finalised today. Investors can check their allotment status through the registrar, Kfin Technologies Limited. The IPO, which was open for subscription from September 20 to September 24, saw a healthy response from investors, being oversubscribed by 97 times.

Specifically, the non-institutional investor (NII) segment was oversubscribed 207 times, while the retail portion was oversubscribed 65 times. The IPO price was set between ₹124 and ₹131 per share.

Given the high level of retail oversubscription, shares will be allocated to retail individual investors (RIIs) on a proportional basis. Those who do not receive an allotment can expect the refund process to start on September 26, 2024.

Shares allotted will be credited to investors' demat accounts on the same day as the refunds. The SME IPO is expected to be listed on the NSE SME platform, with a tentative date of September 27, 2024.

The company intends to utilise the net proceeds for several key purposes, including capital expenditure for setting up new exclusive brand outlets (EBOs). Additionally, the funds will be allocated to meet working capital requirements and support general corporate purposes.
