SBI Mutual Fund (MF), Nippon India MF, HDFC MF, Kotak MF, Bandhan MF, SBI General Insurance Company, Societe Generale, and PineBridge Global Funds, are among the anchor investors, according to a circular uploaded on the BSE website.
As per the circular, Sanathan Textiles has allotted 51.4 lakh shares to 20 funds at Rs 321 apiece, which is also the upper end of the price band. This aggregates the transaction size to Rs 165 crore.

Half of the issue has been reserved for qualified institutional buyers, 35 per cent for retail investors and the remaining 15 per cent for non-institutional investors.
Further, investors can bid for a minimum of 46 equity shares and in multiples of 46 equity shares thereafter.
