The DLF IPO has almost been subscribed by 50% its issue size in the first 1 hour itself. DLF IPO has received heavy subscription by institutional investors.

Hope this puts things into perspective. However, since lot of big name investment banks are involved, there is a possibility that these investment banks put up fake bids for the DLF IPO in order to generate hype and later withdraw these bids. This tactic has been used in the past and there are no measures placed to prevent it from being used in future.
