Summary:
Shankesh Jewellers IPO was subscribed 0.67x on Day 2, with retail at 0.85x and QIB at 0.58x. NII demand remained lower at 0.38x, leaving the ₹367.18 crore issue below full subscription ahead of its August 20 close. The IPO has a price band of ₹88–₹93 per share and is scheduled to list on August 25. The company reported strong FY26 growth, with revenue rising to ₹1,630.93 crore and profit to ₹106.68 crore.
Shankesh Jewellers IPO is now in its second day of bidding, August 19, 2026. Incorporated in 2005 and based out of Zaveri Bazaar, Mumbai, the company is a B2B wholesaler of handcrafted gold jewellery, designing and supplying 22-karat and 18-karat products to corporate and non-corporate jewellers across India. It specialises in bangles, bridal jewellery, chokers, jhumkas, necklace sets, and rings across antique, semi-antique, Calcutta, temple, and polish categories, operating an asset-light model where it acts as principal contractor for design and sourcing while outsourcing production to a network of jobworkers and karigars, alongside job-work orders where clients supply their own bullion and designs.
This is a ₹367.18 crore IPO, made up of a fresh issue of ₹274.18 crore and an offer for sale of ₹93 crore. Part of the money raised goes into the business, while the rest goes to existing shareholders selling part of their stake.
Price band is ₹88 to ₹93 per share. Lot size is 160 shares, so retail investors need ₹14,880 to apply at the upper end. The issue closes today, August 20, and listing is expected August 25 on both BSE and NSE.
Shankesh Jewellers IPO - Day 2 Subscription Status

Category-wise Breakdown on Day 2
| Category | Subscription (Day 2, as of 4:31 PM) |
| Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) | 0.58x |
| Non-Institutional Investors (NII) | 0.38x |
| — Big NII (>₹10L) | 0.19x |

| Retail Individual Investors (RII) | 0.85x |
| Overall | 0.67x |
Figures as of 4:31 PM, August 19, 2026 (Day 2, NSE bid details). The issue received bids for 1.84 crore shares against 2.78 crore shares on offer.
What Day 2 Numbers Indicate
Retail has moved fastest, now at 0.85x, still short of full subscription but the strongest of the categories so far. QIB has also picked up meaningfully, from a very slow Day 1 to 0.58x by Day 2's afternoon. Within NII, small HNIs (0.71x) are running well ahead of big HNIs (0.19x), a fairly typical early pattern before bigger-ticket money commits closer to the close.
Overall subscription at 0.67x by Day 2's afternoon shows the issue building steadily, though it still has meaningful ground to cover before closing today. Grey market sentiment has also cooled through the run-up to this issue, moderating from higher levels earlier in the week. Given the company's strong FY26 financial performance, revenue rose to ₹1,630.93 crore from ₹1,403.94 crore in FY25, with profit surging to ₹106.68 crore from ₹40.31 crore, there's a solid underlying business case, though this slower-than-usual bidding pace through Day 2 suggests investors may be more cautious than the fundamentals alone would suggest.

Should You Apply for Shankesh Jewellers IPO?
A few things worth weighing before you decide:
- It's a mix of fresh issue and offer for sale, with ₹274.18 crore of the ₹367.18 crore raise going into the business, while ₹93 crore goes to existing shareholders selling part of their stake.
- FY26 revenue rose to ₹1,630.93 crore from ₹1,403.94 crore in FY25, with profit surging to ₹106.68 crore from ₹40.31 crore, a striking pace of growth.
- The company operates an asset-light B2B wholesale model, supplying handcrafted gold jewellery to jewellers across India rather than selling directly to consumers, a distinct positioning within the broader jewellery sector.
- Promoter and promoter group holding will come down from 95.48% to 69.53% after the issue.
- Bidding has stayed comparatively slow through Day 1 and into Day 2, worth watching closely as the issue heads into its final hours today.
