The much-awaited Leela Hotels IPO finally opened for subscription today, May 26. The company behind the iconic Indian luxury hotel brand, Schloss Bangalore, is looking to raise \u20b93,500 crore through this public offer. But despite the hype, the response on Day 1 hasn\u2019t been as exciting as expected \u2014 especially from High Net-Worth Individuals (HNIs), who seem to be keeping their distance for now.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s on Offer?<\/h2>\n

The IPO will remain open from May 26 to May 28, giving retail and institutional investors a three-day window to participate. The price band has been fixed at \u20b9413 to \u20b9435 per share, and the minimum lot size is 34 shares. Investors can apply in multiples of this lot.<\/p>\n

While the brand name \u2018Leela\u2019 is synonymous with premium hospitality and strong customer recall, that hasn\u2019t been enough to pull big-ticket investors on Day 1.<\/p>\n

HNIs Stay Cautious<\/h3>\n

Market observers noted a sharp drop in HNI participation, with the number of applications significantly lower than seen in recent big IPOs. This could be due to concerns about valuation, recent volatility in the secondary market, or simply a wait-and-watch approach.<\/p>\n

Experts believe HNIs are becoming more selective and prefer waiting until they see stronger grey market signals or retail momentum before jumping in.<\/p>\n

What Experts Are Saying<\/h3>\n

According to analysts, the company\u2019s strong brand and market presence are its key strengths. However, the issue size and pricing are on the higher side, which may be causing some hesitation.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhile Leela has premium appeal, the valuation doesn\u2019t leave much room for listing gains,\u201d said a market watcher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite the cautious start, analysts are watching Day 2 and Day 3 closely. Historically, many IPOs have seen slow beginnings and strong finishes, especially when retail and institutional interest pick up toward the end.<\/p>\n
