And at the upper end of 1200 cr, then value per share would be 943. UnlistedZone View As Covid-19 has made the situation bad especially for the hotel and restaurant sector, the IPO will not come at least in the next 6 months. They will probably time the IPO when the hotel and restaurant sector starts functioning. The IPO price would be in the range of 800-900.
