Saatvik Green Energy’s much-anticipated IPO, aiming to raise ₹900 crore, opened for subscription on September 19, 2025. The solar PV module manufacturer witnessed a subdued response on the opening day, with overall IPO subscription reaching only about 14%. Despite the slow start in the formal markets, the grey market painted a more optimistic picture, with the grey market premium (GMP) standing at approximately 13%. This mixed initial reaction underscores investor caution amid broader market conditions while reflecting underlying optimism about the company’s long-term prospects in India’s renewable energy sector.
Key Points
IPO Subscription Status
As per NSE data, Saatvik Green Energy IPO received bids for roughly 1.9 crore shares against an overall offer of about 13.56 crore shares, translating into a 14% subscription rate by the end of Day 1.
The retail individual investor (RII) category fared better at around 30% subscription, showing decent interest among individual investors.
Non-institutional investors (NIIs) showed moderate engagement with approximately 16% subscription, while qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) had yet to contribute significantly on Day 1.
Subscription will remain open until September 23, 2025, providing more time for investors to participate and potentially push up subscription numbers.
Price Band and Offer Structure
The IPO price band is set between ₹442 and ₹465 per share, with a lot size of 32 shares.
The issue comprises a fresh issue of ₹700 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of ₹200 crore by promoters Parmod Kumar and Sunila Garg.
The company aims to use proceeds for scaling manufacturing capacity, debt repayment, and general corporate purposes including working capital.
Grey Market Premium Insights
The GMP on September 19 hovered around ₹65, indicating a potential listing price of ₹530-₹540, reflecting a near 13-14% premium over the upper band price of ₹465.
The grey market activity suggests a positive sentiment among speculators who anticipate a strong aftermarket debut, possibly driven by the company’s growth prospects in the solar energy segment.
Such a premium historically indicates investor confidence, contrasting the slower formal subscription and signaling room for momentum build-up towards IPO closure.
Company Background and Market Position
Saatvik Green Energy is among India’s fastest-growing solar PV module manufacturers, boasting an operational capacity of 3.8 GW as of early 2025.
The company offers end-to-end solar solutions including EPC services for rooftop and ground-mounted solar projects, serving both domestic and international markets.
With plans to invest in a 4 GW solar PV module plant in Odisha, the company is aligned with India’s renewable energy ambitions and ‘Make in India’ vision.
Conclusion
While Saatvik Green Energy’s IPO has seen a tentative start with modest subscription levels, the healthy GMP indicates anticipation of strong listing gains and underlying investor confidence in the company’s fundamentals and growth trajectory. The coming days until the subscription deadline will be crucial as retail and institutional investors weigh the opportunity. Given India’s expanding solar power market and Saatvik’s strategic growth plans, the IPO stands well-placed to capture investor interest and reinforce the company’s capital for scaling operations, contributing to India’s clean energy future.
