  • Adisoft Technologies Shares List 19% Above IPO Price on NSE SME Platform
    May 1, 2026, 10:36 PM EDT. Adisoft Technologies shares debuted strong on the NSE SME platform, listing at Rs 205, a 19% premium over the Rs 172 IPO price. Despite zero grey market premium suggesting muted expectations, the Rs 74 crore IPO was subscribed 77 times, led by institutional and high-net-worth investors. Adisoft operates in industrial automation, offering digital solutions for automobile manufacturing. IPO proceeds aim to fund a new manufacturing facility, repay debt, and support working capital. Profits rose to Rs 16.1 crore in FY25, while revenue showed volatility due to project-based business. Market caution stems from global uncertainties and the SME segment's mixed listing outcomes. Long-term growth hinges on scaling operations, securing orders, and maintaining margins amid competition.
