SBI Mutual Fund's parent, SBI Funds Management Limited, saw continued strong investor interest during the second day of the initial public offering (IPO). The public issue, after a steady start on Day 1, witnessed a massive demand from the High Net-worth Individuals (HNIs) and retail investors, with an overall subscription of 2.81 times on Day 2. In addition to the healthy subscription numbers, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) stood at ₹91.
The public offering will be a book-built Offer for Sale (OFS) to raise ₹9,812.9 crore. The offering was originally slated to be worth Rs 11,692.9 crore, but was reduced following the promoters (State Bank of India and Amundi India Holding) conducting a pre-IPO share sale of Rs 1,880 crore last week. As this is a 100% OFS, the AMC will get no fresh capital from the IPO; all proceeds will go to the selling shareholders.
The investors have displayed a strong interest in this offering, which is largely due to SBI Mutual Fund's undisputed leadership position in the Indian asset management industry and its large Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) book and highly cash-generative business model.

About SBI Mutual Funds
SBI Funds Management Limited is a joint venture between the State Bank of India (SBI), the largest public sector bank of the country, and the French asset management company, Amundi. With its headquarters in Mumbai, it is the leader in the Indian mutual fund industry.
The AMC has a diversified portfolio comprising active mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), portfolio management services (PMS), and alternative investment funds. At present, the company has an astounding quarterly average AUM (QAAUM) of more than ₹29 lakh crore and has a pan-India distribution network, serving more than 16 million investors.
From a financial perspective, SBI Funds Management has an impressive track record with an asset-light business model and unparalleled operating leverage. In FY26 results, it posted a total income of ₹4,976.11 crore and its PAT (Profit After Tax) was ₹3,067.38 crore. One of the key factors behind this steady income is its massive SIP book, which ensures a steady inflow of revenue even in the face of short-term fluctuations in the market.
Recent GMP and subscription status on Day 2
As of July 15, 2026 (Day 2), the overall IPO subscription was at a healthy 2.81 times. The Non-Institutional Investors (NII) segment was the leader in terms of demand, oversubscribing its allotted quota by 6.58 times. Retail Individual Investors (RIIs) also continued to book at a healthy rate of 1.70 times.
The Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) segment had subscribed 1.50 times its quota. The quotas set aside for SBI Shareholders and Employees were also well subscribed at 3.99 times and 2.27 times, respectively.
The Grey Market Premium (GMP) was seen edging up and was at ₹91 in the unlisted market. The current GMP at the upper price band of ₹574 indicates a tentative listing price of ₹665, with a healthy listing upside of 15.85%.
What is next?
Market analysts attributed the high subscription numbers and GMP to SBI Funds Management's market leadership and the structural change in Indian household savings towards equity markets. With the final day of bidding (16 July) approaching tomorrow, investors' attention will be on the last-minute bid from Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), as it often provides a massive last-day push to subscription numbers.
This final institutional backing will likely lock in the stability of the grey market premium ahead of the stock's official market debut on July 21.
