By 11:45 a.m. on Day 3, the issue had been subscribed 8.26 times, with strong interest across categories — 5.40x in the retail segment, 21.20x from non-institutional investors, and 3.56x from qualified institutional buyers.

Analyst View

SEBI-registered analyst Aditya Hujband has rated the IPO as an ‘Apply’, highlighting Advance Agrolife’s strong product mix, wide domestic reach, and growing export presence.

He said the company’s advantages of having in-house R&D, backward integration and being compliant to international quality standards have helped it build a strong foundation for growth. 

Hujband said the business has a demand throughout the year, spanning both the Kharif and Rabi crop seasons, and a consistent customer base due to its long-standing B2B relationships.

However, he added that seasonal variations, regulatory challenges, and competition from international agrochemical firms remain as potential risk factors. Other risks cited are foreign exchange fluctuations, high working capital requirements, and exposure to the export market.
