Quick Answer: BLS Polymers and SFC Environmental Technologies, which closed on 29 October 2026, have finalised allotment and are scheduled to list on BSE and NSE on Tuesday 3 November 2026. Check your allotment on the registrar's website, watch for refunds on 2 November if you were not allotted, and expect allotted shares in your demat account before listing day.

Friday's close sets the stage

Markets go into the weekend on a firmer footing. On Friday 30 October, the Sensex rose 308.49 points (0.42%) to close at 74,459.53, and the Nifty gained 116.35 points (0.51%) to close at 23,053.10 — its second straight winning session. IT and pharma stocks led the gains, while the broader market lagged: the Nifty Midcap 100 fell 0.93% and the Smallcap 100 fell 1.85% on the day. That split matters for listing week: headline indices can look healthy while smaller stocks struggle, so one stock's listing-day move says little about the whole market. Brent crude was still around $113 a barrel at week's end, a reminder that global risks have not gone away.

The two listings, side by side

BLS Polymers: ₹255 crore fresh issue, price band ₹142–₹150, final issue price ₹150, lot size 100 shares (minimum retail application ₹15,000). Subscribed 241.22 times overall — QIB 200.25 times, non-institutional investors 559.20 times, retail 128.36 times. SFC Environmental Technologies: ₹667.53 crore issue (₹150 crore fresh issue plus a ₹517.53 crore offer for sale), price band ₹313–₹330, final issue price ₹330, lot size 45 shares (minimum retail application ₹14,850). Subscribed 9.47 times overall — QIB 18.81 times, non-institutional investors 12.81 times, retail 2.71 times. Both issues: opened 27 October, closed 29 October, allotment finalised 30 October, scheduled to list on BSE and NSE on 3 November 2026. Also on the calendar: EAAA India Alternatives is scheduled to debut on Monday 2 November, a day before BLS and SFC. The contrast is the story. BLS was subscribed more than 25 times as heavily as SFC, so retail applicants in BLS faced far tighter allotment odds than those in SFC. Subscription levels describe demand during bidding; they do not predict the listing price.

How to check your allotment

1. Go to the registrar's IPO allotment page — KFin Technologies for BLS, MUFG Intime for SFC — or check the BSE/NSE IPO allotment pages. 2. Search by PAN, application number, or demat account (DP ID plus client ID). Keep the application number from your bid handy; it is the fastest lookup. 3. The result shows how many shares, if any, were allotted to you. Take a screenshot or save the page for your records. 4. Check your bank account and demat account separately — allotment status, refund, and share credit are three different steps and they do not always update at the same moment. If the registrar's site is slow, that is normal listing-eve traffic — try again later. You cannot re-apply to a closed issue.

Refunds and demat credit: the dates

Under the standard timetable, refunds to non-allottees and demat credit of allotted shares are scheduled for 2 November 2026, the working day before listing. If you applied through UPI, the blocked amount for the unallotted portion should be released; if you applied through ASBA, the lien on the unallotted amount should be lifted. Check both your bank account and your demat holding on 2 November, and again on the morning of 3 November before trading starts. If money is still blocked on 2 November evening, that is usually batch processing, not a failed refund. If it is still blocked after listing day, raise it with your bank and the registrar, with your application number ready.

How listing day actually works

On 3 November, both stocks go through a special pre-open session, where orders are matched to discover an opening price. Trading then opens there, and the price can move sharply in the first minutes. Three things first-time IPO investors often get wrong: The issue price is not a floor. A stock can open below it, and it can also open above it. Neither outcome is guaranteed in advance. The opening price is set by orders in the pre-open session, not by the grey market, the subscription number, or media coverage. Listing-day gains or losses are only paper figures until you sell. Decide any sell decision on your own plan and time horizon, not on the first hour's price action — and consider speaking to a SEBI-registered investment adviser for personal guidance.

A warning about grey market premiums

You will see grey market premium (GMP) figures quoted for both stocks in the run-up to listing. GMP is an unofficial, unregulated off-exchange quote. It is not published by NSE, BSE or SEBI, it changes through the day, and it does not predict the listing price. Treat any GMP number as sentiment chatter, never as a price target, and never as a reason to buy or sell.

If you were not allotted

Not getting shares in a 241-times-subscribed issue is the normal outcome for most retail applicants, not a mistake in your application. Your blocked money should come back on the refund date above. You do not need to do anything to "re-apply" — the issue is closed. If you still want exposure to the same theme, the usual next step is to study the company's listed financials and prospects after listing, at market prices, rather than chasing the first day's price move.

Your listing-week checklist

Check allotment status for both issues on the registrar's site. On 2 November, confirm refund (if not allotted) or demat credit (if allotted). On 3 November morning, confirm the shares are in your demat account before the market opens. Note the pre-open session timing on your broker's app, and avoid placing market orders in the first volatile minutes unless you understand the risk. Keep your application number, allotment screenshot, and refund reference until the money and shares are both reconciled.
