Investors who participated in the Virtual Galaxy Infotech Initial Public Offering are poised for clarity today, May 15, as the finalisation of share allotments is underway. The IPO, which closed on May 14, attracted an unprecedented level of interest, recording an overall subscription of 231.45 times. This overwhelming demand underscores significant market confidence in the IT services and consulting firm.
The IPO aimed to raise ₹ 93.29 crore through an entirely fresh issue of up to 65,70,000 equity shares, priced at ₹ 142 per share. The remarkable oversubscription across all investor categories sets the stage for a potentially robust market debut.
The detailed subscription figures reveal the depth of investor enthusiasm. The portion reserved for non-institutional investors (NIIs) witnessed an extraordinary subscription of 590.27 times.
Retail individual investors (RIIs) were not far behind, bidding for 134.03 times the shares allocated to them. Qualified institutional bidders (QIBs) also showed strong participation, with their segment subscribed 129.72 times.
In total, the issue received bids for 1,01,69,89,000 equity shares against a net issue size of approximately 43.9 lakh shares. This translated into a bid value of ₹ 14,441.24 crore. The issue attracted nearly 3.24 lakh applications.

The company intends to allocate ₹30 million towards the repayment or prepayment of certain borrowings. An investment of ₹50.50 million is proposed for procuring GPUs, servers, and storage systems at its data centre.
Additionally, ₹189 million will be directed towards enhancing, maintaining, and upgrading existing products through manpower hiring. For business development and marketing activities, ₹140.60 million has been allocated. The remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.
