Merritronix Limited made a strong entry into the stock market, surprising investors with a sharp rise in its share price within just a few days of listing. The company’s performance after the IPO has generated strong interest, especially among retail investors, who have been closely tracking its rapid growth.
Meitronics Limited shares began trading with a strong debut on June 8. The stock listed at ₹283.10, a gain of nearly 90% from its IPO price of ₹149. This strong debut was followed by a steady rise, as the stock hit the 5% upper circuit limit for four consecutive days.
By Thursday, the share price had further increased to ₹344.05, representing a total gain of over 130% compared to the issue price. This consistent rise in such a short period clearly indicates high demand and low selling pressure in the market. The continued upper circuit movement indicates that buyers remain keen, while sellers are holding out, hoping for even higher returns.
The company launched its IPO on June 1st, and it remained open for subscription until June 3rd. The total issue size was ₹70 crore, with a significant participation from a diverse range of investors. The funds raised from the IPO are planned to be used for various business needs, including purchasing new machinery and equipment, supporting working capital, repaying existing loans, and meeting general corporate expenses.
Prior to the IPO, promoters held 85.17% of the company, but this shareholding has declined to 62.28% after the share sale. Key promoters include Dowry Yesudas, Dowry Amarnath, Vanaja D, Dorsey Kethan Chandra, and Dowry Thaman, who continue to play a key role in the company’s direction.
Merritronix’ IPO received an overwhelming response from investors, with total subscriptions reaching 315.36 times. Retail investors also showed strong interest, subscribing 297.67 times their share. Non-institutional investors were even more enthusiastic, subscribing 476.59 times, while qualified institutional buyers subscribed 224.91 times.
Retail investors were allowed to apply for up to two lots, each consisting of 2,000 shares. For these two lots, the total investment was approximately ₹298,000. The high subscription numbers clearly reflect strong confidence in the company’s business model and future growth potential.
