Bharat Coking Coal IPO Allotment Status Today; LIC Anchor Backing and GMP Jumps to ₹13.6

Mumbai, January 14, 2026: The Bharat Coking Coal Limited IPO allotment is being finalised today, January 14, following an extraordinary subscription response that saw the issue subscribed over 143 times at close. Investor focus has now shifted to allotment outcomes, grey market trends, and the upcoming listing scheduled for January 16.

The IPO, priced at ₹21–₹23 per share, witnessed intense demand across all categories, led by qualified institutional buyers and non-institutional investors, with retail participation also remaining strong through the issue period.

LIC Anchor Investment Sets Institutional Tone​

Ahead of the IPO opening, Life Insurance Corporation of India emerged as the single largest anchor investor in the issue. LIC invested ₹78.00 crore, acquiring 3,39,13,200 equity shares at the upper end of the price band of ₹23 per share.

The anchor allocation was finalised on January 8, 2026, a day prior to the IPO opening, and accounted for 28.56 percent of the total anchor portion. The participation of India’s largest domestic institutional investor provided early institutional visibility to the offering ahead of its public subscription.

Record Subscription Drives Allotment Focus​

By the close of bidding on January 13, the Bharat Coking Coal IPO was subscribed approximately 143.85 times, driven by:

• Heavy QIB participation, particularly on the final day
• Exceptionally strong demand from non-institutional investors
