Sri Lotus Developers IPO Subscription Status
Retail investors subscribed to 7% of the 1.97 crore shares allocated to them, while NIIs—such as high-net-worth individuals—subscribed to 9% of the 84.64 lakh shares reserved for their category. Meanwhile, Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) have not placed any bids yet for their allotted 1.12 crore shares. However, it’s worth noting that QIB interest often gathers momentum closer to the final days of the IPO, so a lack of early bids from this segment is fairly typical.
Sri Lotus Developers IPO GMP today
According to market observers, the IPO is commanding a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 44 per share. This suggests a potential listing gain of nearly 29% over the IPO’s upper price band of Rs 150. While GMPs are unofficial and speculative, they can reflect investor sentiment and expected demand.
Sri Lotus Developers and Realty launched its Rs 792 crore IPO today, eyeing investor interest in the luxury real estate segment of Mumbai. The issue, which is entirely a fresh offer of 5.28 crore shares, will close on August 1. The price band has been set at Rs 140-150 per share, with a lot size of 100 shares.
Proceeds from the IPO will be used to partly fund ongoing projects through its subsidiaries—including Amalfi, The Arcadian, and Varun—and for general corporate purposes.
Sri Lotus Developers company details
Sri Lotus Developers operates predominantly in Mumbai’s western suburbs, focusing on ultra-luxury and luxury housing through redevelopment and joint development models.
The company had a net profit of Rs 228 crore in FY25, more than doubling from Rs 119 crore a year ago, on revenue of Rs 550 crore. Its EBITDA margin rose sharply to 52.6%, indicating strong profitability.
Backed by a solid pipeline of 16 projects across Juhu, Andheri, Bandra, Prabhadevi, and Ghatkopar, Sri Lotus is betting big on the rising demand for homes in the Rs 2.5 crore-plus segment.
The company follows an asset-light approach, largely avoiding land acquisition and instead partnering with housing societies—a model that has allowed faster execution and leaner capital deployment.

Arihant Capital recommends the IPO for listing gains. The brokerage highlights the company’s ability to complete projects well before RERA timelines and its premium pricing power, especially in areas like Juhu.
