CSM Technologies raised only ₹20 crore from anchor investors before its IPO opened, a modest amount compared with its overall issue size of about ₹145.78 crore. The company secured the money from two anchor investors at the upper end of the price band, ₹113 per share, even as the public issue moved ahead on June 24, 2026.
The anchor round was much smaller than the expected ₹43.29 crore target, showing cautious interest from institutions. This comes at a time when investor mood in the IT space has been mixed, with the Nifty IT index falling about 29% over the last six months, according to reports.
CSM Technologies’ IPO is a fresh issue only, with no offer for sale component. The issue is priced in the range of ₹107 to ₹113 per share, and the company plans to use the funds for working capital, debt repayment, and future expansion needs.
The company has set aside the IPO for listing on BSE and NSE, with the issue opening on June 24 and closing on June 29. Allotment is expected on June 30, while the tentative listing date is July 2, 2026.
For investors, the small anchor response is a sign to watch the full subscription trend closely. A weak anchor book does not decide the IPO outcome, but it often gives an early signal about institutional confidence in the issue.
