Important Things To Keep In Mind Before Applying For IPO’s:
- Try to fill for the same IPO online from different DP ID i.e. if in your family have more than 1 account you can possibly get the allocation done in case of over subscription.
- You should have a good knowledge of the sector and the company you are planning to invest.
- Analysis of the company’s balance sheet is very crucial. A clear understanding of the company’s future projects and vision is very necessary to know whether it will have a sustainable future.
- Investment decision has to be taken carefully and not in a hurry.
- Read as much as you can about the company, its objectives for launching the IPO, its past history in business and its futures prospectus.
- Don’t go for hype in the news, your analysis should be based on facts rather than gossips and rumors.
- Many IPOs are oversubscribed. What this means is that the demand for shares is much higher than the shares available for sale. In such a situation, it is no surprise that many investors fail to get any shares allotted to them. This is why it is advisable to apply for IPO shares on the last day of bidding. This way, one can have a good estimate on how large the subscription will be. Also, in that case, one should bid for just one lot and not unnecessarily lock up their capital.
Conclusion:
As of FY20, total addressable market (TAM) for Indian automotive portals was estimated at US$14.3 billion (1.06 lakh crore), of which CTT and key competitors combined covered only <5%.
With >90% Indian customers estimated to be using online channels for research before buying a new or used car, the space is well poised for market share gains by organised players (particularly ones with end-to-end presence) at the expense of current unorganised, fragmented industry segments.
The used car market is large (consisting of 30,000 dealers; 85 lakh transactions in FY20) but highly (90%) unorganised and fragmented.
Total 50% dealers face issues in lead conversion, vehicle unavailability and low volumes. Increasingly, dealers are using online platforms to source or sell used cars.
Among used car buyers and sellers as well, online channels enjoy higher net promoter scores than local offline dealers due to wide choices, price delivery and convenience.
