The NSE IPO Reaches Its Final Stretch

The NSE's initial public offering closed last week with overall subscription of 5.71 times, led by strong demand from qualified institutional buyers. Allotment was finalised earlier this week, and shares are expected to land in successful applicants' demat accounts today, one working day ahead of the exchange's tentative listing on the BSE tomorrow, September 24.

This remains the most time-sensitive entry on today's stocks to watch today list. Tomorrow's actual listing print will be the real test of how the market values the exchange, since NSE itself cannot list on its own platform and will instead debut on the BSE. Investors allotted shares should confirm the credit today, while everyone else will get their own read on demand once trading actually begins.

Elevate Campuses Opens, Varmora Granito's Window Stays Live

The second major event on today's stocks to watch today list is a fresh IPO opening. Elevate Campuses, the student accommodation and K-12 education infrastructure operator, opens for public subscription today at a price band of Rs 343 to Rs 362 per share, seeking to raise Rs 2,100 crore entirely through a fresh issue. Anchor investors have already been allotted shares worth roughly Rs 945 crore ahead of today's opening, an early signal of institutional appetite for the issue.

Investors evaluating the issue should note that roughly Rs 1,100 crore of the proceeds are earmarked for acquiring K-12 education assets from fellow subsidiaries of the company's own promoter group, a related-party structure worth reading closely in the prospectus, alongside the remaining Rs 750 crore set aside for debt repayment. Separately, Varmora Granito's bidding window, opened earlier this week at a band of Rs 140-148, remains open through tomorrow.

Three names round out today's stocks to watch today list on unresolved corporate developments.

PNC Infratech continues to evaluate legal remedies after NHAI extended its bidding debarment to the parent company, a story still unresolved as it heads into a new week.

The final name on today's stocks to watch today list is unlisted itself but still relevant.
