Yes, you can buy multiple lots in an IPO, provided you follow the rules and guidelines set by the stock exchange and the company. In an IPO, each lot represents a specific number of shares, and you can apply for as many lots as you wish, depending on your investment capacity and the terms of the IPO.

For example, if the bid lot size is 10 shares, you can apply for 1 lot (10 shares), 2 lots (20 shares), or more. However, there are a few important points to remember:

Retail Investors: As a retail investor, there are limits to how much you can bid. Typically, retail investors can apply for up to ₹2 lakh worth of shares, which usually equates to 1 or more lots, depending on the IPO's price.
Minimum Lot Size: Each IPO specifies a minimum lot size (e.g., 10 shares, 50 shares), which you must follow. You cannot apply for less than the minimum lot size.
Bidding Multiple Price Options: In some cases, you can apply for multiple price options within the same IPO, but your bid is subject to the issuer's and stock exchange's allocation criteria.
