The three-day Rs 831.6 crore IPO will conclude on September 7. The IPO, with a price band of Rs 500-525 per share, is a fresh issue of 1.58 crore equity shares.

Speaking of positives about the Tuticorin-based bank, Singhvi said the bank has strong asset quality and it also robust financials and net interest margin (NIM).
However, the market guru recommended avoiding the issue. He said the bank is engaged in too many litigations and is always under regulator’s scrutiny.
“Valuation-wise the IPO is not very attractive. Avoid this issue as there are many better options available among listed banks,” the expert added.
Earlier, ahead of the opening of the issue, the private sector lender on Friday raised a little over Rs 363 crore from anchor investors days before its Initial Public Offering (IPO). Societe Generale, Nomura Singapore, Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company, Max Life Insurance Company, Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company and Moneyewise Financial Services are among the anchor investors.
The company has decided to allocate 71.28 lakh equity shares to anchor investors at Rs 510 apiece, aggregating the transaction size to Rs 363.53 crore, according to a circular uploaded on the BSE website.
