The Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders IPO was one of the investors’ favourite picks during the IPO bonanza last month. The issue was subscribed 157 times on the last day of bidding, which is much higher than its other IPO peers— UTI AMC and Likhitha Infrastructure Limited, which clocked a tepid response from investors. The IPO secured the topmost position in the list of the successful IPOs in the current year in terms of subscription.

Given its healthy order book, stable business and a reasonable valuation, it was already expected to have a bumper listing.
