Following strong demand from institutional investors, the government exercised the oversubscription option in full, taking the total offer size to 1.33 crore equity shares, representing 5.04% of Cochin Shipyard's paid-up equity share capital.

The non-retail portion had received bids for 2.10 crore shares on 7 July 2026, resulting in full subscription of the revised non-retail allocation. Of these, bids for 96.46 lakh shares were backed by 100% margin, while bids for 1.14 crore shares were placed without margin. The indicative clearing price stood at Rs 1,415 per share.
