At the upper end of the price band, the OFS component is valued at approximately ₹485 crore, taking the total issue size to around ₹805 crore.

₹320 Crore Fresh Issue
Of the total IPO size, ₹320 crore will be raised through the fresh issue. Unlike the OFS component, the proceeds from the fresh issue will go to the company.
A significant portion of the proceeds is expected to be deployed toward strengthening the company’s manufacturing and operational infrastructure, including the purchase and installation of new and second-hand machinery and equipment.
According to the company’s IPO plans, around ₹238.4 crore is proposed to be used for machinery and equipment-related investments, while the remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Manipal Technologies to Sell Shares Through OFS
The IPO also includes an Offer for Sale of up to 1.43 crore shares by promoter Manipal Technologies.
Under an OFS, the money raised from the sale of existing shares goes to the selling shareholder rather than the company. Therefore, the ₹485-crore OFS component will not directly add to Manipal Payment and Identity Solutions’ balance sheet.
The combination of fresh shares and OFS will determine the overall size of the public issue.
IPO to Open on September 9
The Manipal Payment IPO will open for subscription on September 9 and close on September 11, 2026.
The anchor investor portion is expected to open on September 8, a day before the IPO opens for retail and other investors.
Investors should check the company’s final prospectus and exchange announcements for the confirmed allotment and listing schedule.
Strong Presence in Payment and Identity Solutions
Manipal Payment and Identity Solutions operates in the payment and identity technology space. Its business includes solutions related to payment cards, identification, security, smart tagging and Internet of Things (IoT).
The company serves customers across sectors such as banking, fintech, financial services and government institutions.
The payment ecosystem has been undergoing rapid transformation with increasing adoption of digital transactions, payment cards, secure identification technologies and technology-enabled financial services. This provides companies operating in the payment infrastructure segment with opportunities for long-term growth.
Financial Performance
According to the company’s financial information, its revenue increased by 5.6 per cent to ₹1,326.8 crore in FY2025-26, compared with around ₹1,256 crore in the previous financial year.
However, its profit declined by 10.2 per cent to ₹253.5 crore during the same period.
The decline in profit was partly influenced by the presence of a significant exceptional gain in the previous financial year, which created a higher base for comparison.
The financial performance will be an important factor for investors evaluating the IPO valuation and the company’s future growth prospects.
Why the IPO Is Important for Investors
The Manipal Payment IPO comes at a time when investor interest in India’s primary market remains strong.
For investors, the key factors to watch include:
- The company’s valuation at the ₹339 upper price band
- Revenue and profit growth
- Expansion of payment and identity technology markets
- Customer concentration and business dependence
- Competitive pressures in the payment solutions industry
- Utilisation of fresh issue proceeds
- Promoter stake and the impact of the OFS
- Future growth and profitability prospects
Investors should evaluate these factors alongside the company’s Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) before making an investment decision.
Manipal Payment IPO: What Investors Should Know
The IPO offers a combination of fresh capital raising and promoter stake dilution. While the fresh issue is intended to support the company’s operational and capacity expansion, the OFS provides an exit opportunity to the existing promoter.
At the upper price band of ₹339, the issue implies a post-issue valuation of approximately ₹7,858 crore.
The valuation needs to be considered against the company’s financial performance, growth prospects and its position within the rapidly evolving payment and identity solutions industry.
The Manipal Payment and Identity Solutions IPO, with an issue size of around ₹805 crore, will open for public subscription on September 9, 2026. The company has fixed the price band at ₹322-339 per equity share.
The issue consists of a ₹320-crore fresh issue and an OFS of up to 1.43 crore shares worth approximately ₹485 crore by promoter Manipal Technologies.
With a strong presence in payment and identity solutions and plans to invest fresh capital in machinery and infrastructure, the IPO is likely to attract attention from investors tracking India’s payment technology and financial services ecosystem.
However, investors should carefully study the RHP, valuation, financial performance and risk factors before subscribing to the issue.
