Four companies take their last bids on Monday, 19 October, in a crowded week for share sales that ends with Jio Platforms’ offer, which could be India’s biggest IPO.

Bonfiglioli Transmissions’ ₹2,534 crore offer, at ₹558-586, was just short of fully covered at 0.99 times, and Sahajanand Medical Technologies’ ₹475 crore issue, at ₹327-344, about 0.8 times.
