Each dot is one IPO from the last 12 months, placed by the least money you could apply with. 361 IPOs.
What the chart shows
For a small-company (SME) IPO, the least one person could apply with was typically ₹2,54,400, 17 times the ₹14,880 for a main-board IPO.
The least you could apply with (applications closed 9 Oct 2025 to 8 Oct 2026)
| Main-board IPOs | 123 · typical ₹14,880 · lowest ₹12,352 · highest ₹15,000 |
|---|---|
| Small-company IPOs | 238 · typical ₹2,54,400 · lowest ₹2,08,000 · highest ₹3,60,000 |
SMALL-COMPANY IPOs BY AMOUNT ₹2,00,000 to ₹2,20,000: 10 ₹2,20,000 to ₹2,40,000: 48 ₹2,40,000 to ₹2,60,000: 76 ₹2,60,000 to ₹2,80,000: 57 ₹2,80,000 to ₹3,00,000: 44 ₹3,00,000 to ₹3,20,000: 2 ₹3,60,000 to ₹3,80,000: 1
The amount is the top IPO price times the fewest shares one application could ask for. It is the least one person could put in, not the shares anyone actually got, and it says nothing about how any IPO did.
How it is measured
The least one person could apply with is the top of each IPO's price range times the fewest shares one application could ask for (the minimum bid quantity). Shares are sold in fixed bundles (lots). For small-company (SME) IPOs the minimum is two bundles, so one bundle alone would halve the figure.
Covers every IPO whose applications closed from 9 Oct 2025 to 8 Oct 2026: 123 main-board and 238 small-company IPOs. 5 left out: 3 property or infrastructure trusts (REITs and InvITs), which sell units, not company shares, and 2 with no IPO type recorded. Typical = the middle value. Dots are stacked in Rs 20,000 steps on one straight rupee scale, every dot the same size.
This is the entry amount each IPO set, not the shares anyone actually got, and it says nothing about how any IPO did.
