CSM Technologies shares made a flat debut on Indian stock exchanges on Thursday, listing at the IPO price of ₹113 on both the BSE and NSE.
The lack of a premium on the first day of trading underscores the tepid investor appetite that characterized the offering process.
The ₹146 crore issue was structured entirely as a fresh equity raise, valuing the company at approximately ₹5 billion.

Despite the offering opening on June 24, demand remained well below the threshold required for a successful listing, with the book closing at just 0.26 times subscription on the first day.
The flat listing price indicates that secondary market participants are not willing to pay a premium over the issue price in the immediate aftermath of the debut.
This outcome highlights the cautious sentiment surrounding smaller-cap technology and engineering IPOs in the current market environment.
