Standard Chartered Plc’s Indian depository receipts (IDR) issue, which hit the market today, has received a lacklustre response from foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and retail investors.

Retail investors bid for 7.22 lakh shares out of the total quota of 7.20 crore shares. The retail category was subscribed 0.01 times. Retail investors have been given a 5% discount in this issue. The Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) category received zero bids.

The Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) category was subscribed 0.12 times from 8.40 crore shares reserved under the category. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) bid for 86.95 lakh shares while mutual funds (MFs) bid for 17.10 lakh shares.

Similarly, the Non-Institutional Investor (NII) quota saw a lukewarm response. It was subscribed 0.0009 times, and received bids for just 40,800 shares from individuals. Even corporates have shied away from investing on the first day, which saw zero bids.

Employees subscribed for just 1,600 shares from the reserved quota of 48 lakh shares. The company has 20.40 crore shares on offer, including 3.60 crore shares for anchor investors at a price of Rs104 per share. The company has 16 anchor investors on board. Overall, the issue was subscribed 0.05 times on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

The company is planning to raise Rs2,400 crore-Rs2,760 crore through the IDR issue with a price band of Rs100-Rs115. The issue opened today and closes on 28 May 2010.
