- Institutional demand at the current floor price.
The full read
Acme Solar has a floor price. ₹294.13 a share. That is the minimum the company will accept from institutional buyers in its new QIP. The board cleared the plan in August 2025, shareholders in September. Now it is live. For an ₹18,818 crore market-cap company, this is a material capital event. The size is still undisclosed, but the launch itself is the key step. The final deal will almost certainly price at a discount to the floor. That discount, and the amount raised, will determine the dilutive hit. The cash likely funds new solar capacity or shaves off debt. The book is open. The next test is the final price.
