Non-retail investors can place their bids on June 29, whereas retail investors and non-retail investors can place them on the following day.

Retail investors will be allocated offer shares at a discounted price, which is at a discount of 5% to the cut-off price. 20% of the offer size will be reserved for retail investors, reported a leading news agency.
