Excelsoft Technologies Makes Impressive Stock Market Entry
Excelsoft Technologies marked a triumphant entry into the Indian stock market on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, with its shares listing at a significant premium. The educational technology company witnessed its stock price open at ₹135 per share on both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), representing a solid 12.5% gain over its issue price of ₹120.
IPO Performance Exceeds Market Expectations
The company's market debut substantially outperformed initial projections from the grey market. Prior to listing, the grey market premium (GMP) had indicated a likely opening price of approximately ₹127 per share, suggesting a modest 5.83% premium. However, the actual listing at ₹135 demonstrated much stronger investor confidence than anticipated.
The Excelsoft Technologies IPO, which concluded its subscription process earlier, generated remarkable investor interest across all categories. The public issue recorded an overall subscription of 45.46 times the shares available, highlighting overwhelming market demand.
Detailed Breakdown of IPO Subscription
Investor enthusiasm was particularly evident in the breakdown of subscription data:
- Retail investors subscribed 16.44 times their allocated portion
- Non-institutional investors (NIIs) demonstrated massive interest with 107.04 times subscription
- Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) bid 50.06 times their reserved segment
In absolute terms, the company received bids for 132.59 crore shares against only 2.91 crore shares available, reflecting tremendous market confidence in the company's prospects.
IPO Structure and Fund Utilization
The ₹500 crore initial public offering comprised two key components:
- Fresh issue of 1.50 crore shares raising ₹180 crore
- Offer for sale of 2.67 crore shares totaling ₹320 crore
The company set its price band at ₹114 to ₹120 per share, with a lot size fixed at 125 shares. This required retail investors to make a minimum investment of ₹15,000 to participate in the IPO.
Excelsoft Technologies plans to utilize the net proceeds from the fresh issue for several strategic initiatives:
- Capital expenditure for a new building at its Mysore property
- Infrastructure upgrades including external electrical systems

- General corporate purposes
