How to calculate NII Subscription for any IPO?

NII subscription is calculated as:

= Number of shares applied by NIIs / Number of shares offered to NIIs

For example, LG Electronics IPO NII subscription was 22.08 times indicating that NII applied for more than 22 times the shares available to them.

  • Shares offered to NII : 1,52,40,770
  • Shares applied by NII : 33,65,46,158
  • NII Subscription: 33,65,46,158 / 1,52,40,770= 22.08x

It indicates that the issue has shown strong demand from NII, resulting in 22.08 times subscription. In simple words, the IPO has received bid for 22.08 times higher number of shares than shares offered for NII.
