The Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers IPO opened on September 23, 2025, and Day 1 turned out to be a rather cautious start. Employees showed enthusiasm, with their quota comfortably covered, but the rest of the market seemed hesitant. Retail participation trickled in at moderate levels, while institutional buyers hardly moved the needle. By the close of the first day, the overall subscription stood at 0.45 times, hinting that many investors might be waiting to see how demand shapes up in the next couple of days.

On Day 1, the IPO received 69,016 applications. The highlight was clearly the employee category, subscribed at 1.51 times. Retail investors chipped in modestly at 0.61 times, while NIIs showed mixed appetite, with bigger applications (bNII) lagging at 0.39 times and smaller ones (sNII) close to full at 0.91 times. The most noticeable gap was in the QIB segment, which stood nearly untouched at just 0.01 times.
Category-wise subscription (as of Sep 23, 2025):
Category | Subscription (times) |
QIB (Ex Anchor) | 0.01 |
NII | 0.56 |
• bNII (> ₹10L) | 0.39 |
• sNII (< ₹10L) | 0.91 |
Retail | 0.61 |

The next two days will be worth watching—whether institutions step in late, as they often do, or whether the issue continues at this measured pace.

The first day of subscriptions paints a picture of strong employee backing but cautious retail and institutional interest. At just 0.45 times overall, it’s a measured start rather than a rush.
That said, IPOs in India often see the bulk of QIB and HNI applications coming in during the final stretch. With two more days to go, the Anand Rathi Share & Stock Brokers IPO could still build momentum, especially given the company’s established brand and diversified financial services footprint.
