Current SME IPO

Yes. As with any other public issue, you can sell the shares of an SME IPO that has been allotted to you on the listing day.

By going to Finology’s Ticker and clicking on the Current SME IPO view all button, you will be able to find all the ongoing SME IPOs.

To increase your chances of allotment, you can:

• Apply through multiple demat accounts
• Bid at the cut-off price
• Apply for smaller lots
• Thoroughly research the company
• Monitor subscription levels
• Consider applying early in the IPO window

These would essentially spread your applications across different accounts and maximise your chances of receiving an allocation while ensuring you bid at the most competitive price.

You can view SME IPO listings on the BSE SME and NSE EMERGE platforms. You can also get details on the upcoming, current and listed SME IPOs, on the SME IPO section on Ticker.
