Ace investor Madhuri Madhusudan Kela held around 5.6% stake in the company at the time of the DRHP filing, making MV Electrosystems one of the few upcoming IPOs backed by a well-known public market investor.
As per SEBI regulations, up to 75% of the issue has been reserved for Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), while 15% has been allocated to Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) and the remaining 10% to Retail Individual Investors (RIIs).
