Investor Takeaway
Promoters’ OFS of ~₹750 crore in Jain Irrigation could signal a major change. While the stock’s valuation is already richly priced vs peers, the lack of clarity on price band & issue details adds risk. For those considering participation, waiting for the last day of subscription could offer better terms. Also watch subscription volume closely and compare P/E with peers before investing.
