Defence technology stocks draw attention as Tonbo Imaging prepares for its market debut.

The Bengaluru-based defence technology company raised Rs 852.18 crore through its public issue, which comprised an offer for sale (OFS) of 1.22 crore shares. As the IPO was entirely an OFS, the company will not receive any proceeds from the offering. Instead, the proceeds will go to the existing shareholders selling their stakes.

Tonbo Imaging India had fixed the IPO price band at Rs 665–Rs 700 per share. The issue opened for subscription on October 15 and closed on October 19, 2026, receiving an overall subscription of 132.81 times. The retail investor portion was subscribed 31.11 times, while the qualified institutional buyer (QIB) category, excluding anchor investors, saw 293.56 times subscription. The non-institutional investor (NII) portion was subscribed 156.36 times.

The shares are scheduled to list on the BSE and NSE on October 23.

The IPO lot size was 21 shares, translating into a minimum investment of Rs 14,700 for retail investors applying at the upper end of the price band. Each equity share has a face value of Rs 2.

Ahead of the public issue, Tonbo Imaging India raised Rs 255 crore from anchor investors by allotting 36.48 lakh equity shares at Rs 700 apiece, the upper end of the IPO price band.

JM Financial and IIFL Capital Services are the book-running lead managers for the issue, while KFin Technologies is the registrar.
