Stocks to Watch Today: NSE IPO Closes, Varmora Granito Lists Tomorrow, Bharat Forge QIP in Focus

Building today's stocks to watch today list starts with the calendar rather than the ticker tape: several names have specific, dated events landing today or tomorrow that make them more relevant to track than Friday's percentage movers alone. The National Stock Exchange's own initial public offering closes for subscription today, its final bidding day, while tile maker Varmora Granito is set to make its market debut tomorrow.

Beyond the IPO calendar, a handful of names carry unresolved threads from last week that are likely to keep generating news flow: Bharat Forge's Rs 2,000 crore QIP pricing, PNC Infratech's response to its NHAI debarment, and the broader question of how Tata Sons resolves its standoff with the RBI over mandatory listing. Each is covered below with the specific detail that makes it worth tracking today, not a generic reason to watch the stock in general.

IPO Calendar: The Two Names With Dated Events Today and Tomorrow

The NSE initial public offering closes for subscription today, September 21, the final day of its bidding window that opened September 17 at a price band of Rs 1,700 to Rs 1,785. With allotment expected around September 22 and a tentative listing of September 24 on the BSE, today's closing subscription numbers, particularly the qualified institutional buyer portion, will be the data point most worth watching, since strong late-day institutional demand often signals how a listing-day debut is likely to be received.

Varmora Granito, the ceramics and tile maker whose issue closed earlier, is scheduled to list tomorrow, September 22, at a confirmed price band of Rs 140 to Rs 148 per share. Listing-day performance for the stock will be an early read on demand for a name whose IPO combined a Rs 320 crore fresh issue with a Rs 388 crore offer for sale by Katsura Investments, against a backdrop of revenue growth but a recent dip in profitability.

Bharat Forge: Watch the Final QIP Price

Bharat Forge launched a Rs 2,000 crore qualified institutional placement at a floor price of Rs 1,947.70 per share, a discount of up to 3.5 percent to its last closing price. The floor is a minimum, not the final number, so the price at which the placement actually closes, and the scale of institutional demand behind it, is the detail worth tracking today rather than the initial floor price alone.

A QIP closing well above the floor, on strong oversubscription, is typically read as a vote of confidence from institutional investors; pricing that settles right at the floor suggests more muted demand. Either outcome carries information for how the market is currently valuing Bharat Forge's forging, auto components and defence manufacturing businesses.

PNC Infratech and OnEMI Tech: Corporate Actions Still Unfolding

PNC Infratech remains in focus after NHAI extended a three-year bidding debarment, originally applied only to concessionaire Awadh Expressway, to the parent company itself, over a road-quality issue on the Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway. The company has said it is evaluating legal remedies; any update on that front, or further clarity on how the debarment affects its non-NHAI order pipeline, would be a meaningful data point for a stock that hit a six-year low last week.

OnEMI Tech's board approved a Rs 832 crore preferential issue of 2.64 crore shares to non-promoter investors at Rs 314 apiece. Since the allotment still needs to be completed and the company's use-of-proceeds rationale disclosed in more detail, follow-through filings on this transaction are worth tracking for anyone holding or evaluating the stock.

Tata Sons and the RBI Listing Standoff

Tata Sons' board met last week to weigh its response after the RBI rejected the group holding company's request to be deregistered as a core investment company, a status that would have exempted it from mandatory public listing. With Tata Trusts opposed to listing and Shapoorji Pallonji in favour, and the RBI having filed a caveat in the Bombay High Court anticipating a possible legal challenge, any formal statement from Tata Sons on its next move would be relevant for sentiment across listed Tata Group companies, even though Tata Sons itself is unlisted.

Chairman N Chandrasekaran's own succession timeline, with his current term running through February 2027, adds a second thread to this story that could move in tandem with the listing decision, since some directors are reportedly weighing whether to ask him to reconsider his planned exit given the added pressure the RBI's rejection has created.
