Glottis Ltd., the logistics and freight forwarding company, made its stock market debut on Tuesday, October 7, which was at a significant discount in comparison to its issue price.

The stock began trading at ₹87 per share, which is a 33% discount in comparison to its IPO price of ₹129.

Glottis had launched a three-day IPO, which was worth ₹307 crore, and comprised of a fresh issue of equity shares worth $160 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) worth 147 crore. The IPO was priced between ₹120 to ₹129 per share.

The three-day IPO managed to see full subscription, with overall subscription at 2.05x. Demand remained subdued across categories, with the portion reserved for Qualified Institutional Bidders receiving 1.87 times subscription, in comparison to the total shares on offer.

The company intends to use the ₹160 crore that it has raised through the fresh issue of shares to acquire 150 commercial vehicles and 1,000 containers. This is being done with an intention to reduce the company's reliance on leased and rented assets, giving it more operational control and cost efficiency.
