New Delhi, November 17, 2025 — On the final day of bidding for Fujiyama Power Systems’ ₹828‑crore IPO, demand accelerated sharply in the afternoon after a slow start. As of 3:54 pm IST, exchange data cited by Upstox showed the issue subscribed 2.01x overall, led by QIBs at ~5.15x, while retail and NII portions were ~0.78x and ~0.80x, respectively. Earlier through the day, multiple trackers had reported a far more muted run‑rate, underscoring a familiar late‑day surge from institutions. Meanwhile, the grey market premium (GMP) stays at ₹0, implying no unofficial listing premium over the upper end of the price band. Business Standard+3Upstox – Online Stock a…
What changed today (Nov 17)
- Morning → noon: At 11:18 am, Groww pegged total subscription around 0.50x (QIB 0.81x; Retail 0.44x). By 12:35 pm, Mint’s mid‑session update showed 0.68x overall (QIB 1.32x; Retail 0.51x; NII 0.25x). Groww+1
- Early afternoon: Around 1:30 pm, Financial Express reported 0.85x overall, with Retail 0.58x and QIB 1.74x; at 2:23 pm, Business Standard still had the book at ~0.84x. The Financial Express+1
- Late afternoon kick: By 3:54 pm, Upstox (quoting NSE) said 2.01x overall as QIB bids jumped to ~5.15x. Mint’s live blog also flagged the issue as “~2x” booked late in the session, though final exchange totals will reflect post‑close reconciliations. Upstox – Online Stock and Share Trading+1
Bottom line: A classic “back‑ended” QIB rush transformed midday under‑subscription into afternoon oversubscription, even as retail demand remained below full coverage at last check. Upstox – Online Stock and Share Trading
GMP today: still flat
Across trackers, the GMP is at ₹0, with unlisted shares hovering around ₹228—i.e., no premium to the upper band. GMP is unofficial and can change, but as of today it does not signal listing gains. mint+1

Street views (today)
- Anand Rathi:‘Subscribe – Long Term’, noting the issue appears fully priced but backed by secular rooftop‑solar tailwinds and distribution breadth. Business Standard
- Mint’s brokerage roundup: Similar long‑term‑biased opinions appear in today’s coverage, but with repeated emphasis that valuations are not cheap and execution on capacity expansion is key. mint
Valuation context & key risks
Independent reviews peg the stock at ~45x FY25 P/E (upper band), with an annualised P/E near ~25–26x—lower on forward metrics, but not a bargain versus domestic solar peers. ROE and growth are strong, yet debt and pricing pressure in panels temper the case. INDmoney
Concentration & supply risk: INDmoney flags ~42% of retail sales from Uttar Pradesh and heavy import dependence (notably from China) for inputs—both are material risk factors if policy, currency or supply chains turn adverse. INDmoney
Should you apply?
- Momentum vs. valuation: The late QIB‑driven oversubscription signals institutional comfort with the story, but retail/NII were under 1x by late afternoon. With GMP at ₹0, near‑term listing pop is uncertain; this looks more like a fundamentals‑and‑execution bet than a quick‑flip trade. Upstox – Online Stock and Share Trading+1
- What to watch next: Final subscription mix after close (especially QIBs), anchor quality disclosures, and post‑listing margin trajectory as panel/inverter pricing remains under pressure. Business Standard+1
