The Solarworld Energy Solutions IPO opened for bidding on September 23, 2025. Day 1 ended on a fairly upbeat note, driven almost entirely by retail investors who came in strong. While NIIs added solid support, institutional buyers (QIBs) were quiet, leaving much of the weight on individual applications. By the close of the first day, the IPO was subscribed 1.29 times, showing encouraging early momentum.

The IPO drew 1,41,128 applications on its very first day. Retail investors oversubscribed their quota nearly five times, a clear sign of strong demand at the entry level. The NII segment closed at 1.53 times, while bNII interest was steady and sNII participation stood out at 2.37 times. QIBs, however, remained absent at 0.00 times.
Category-wise subscription (as of Sep 23, 2025):

Day 1 of the Solarworld Energy Solutions IPO was marked by overwhelming retail enthusiasm, with applications overshooting four times in that segment alone. NIIs also showed steady interest, keeping the issue comfortably subscribed overall.
