SME IPO Risk Scorecard

Indian SME IPOs have delivered some of the market's biggest winners — and biggest blow-ups. Our heuristic score combines issue size, QIB demand, lot value, anchor quality and subscription pattern into a single 0-100 number, with the underlying factors visible. Higher score = lower risk.

What goes into the score

  • Issue size: <₹25 Cr is a yellow flag. Floats <₹25 Cr are easy to corner post-listing.
  • QIB demand: Strong QIB participation (≥5x) means institutions did real diligence. Retail-only frenzy with QIB <1x is the classic warning.
  • Total subscription: >400x suggests circular bidding (SEBI itself has called this out).
  • Lot value: >₹2.5L lot value restricts genuine retail and concentrates risk.
  • Anchor quality: Tier-1 anchors (HDFC MF, SBI MF, ICICI Pru, Axis MF etc.) signal due-diligence rigour.
