Service Long March Tyres (SLM) IPO – Public Portion Update
Alhamdulillah, subscriptions in the public portion have already crossed PKR 10 billion and it will continue till 11:59 pm today.
MashaAllah, the response to the public portion has been so overwhelming that the allocation for the General Public is being increased from 25% to 30% of the total IPO size, with the Book Building portion correspondingly adjusted to 70% from 75%.
The original General public portion of approximately PKR 1.94 billion (25% of the total IPO size) was already the largest public offering component in Pakistan’s IPO history. Despite this high retail size, investor demand has been so strong that the public portion has become heavily oversubscribed, necessitating an increase in allocation to 30%.
This is yet another historic milestone for Pakistan’s capital market and reflects the tremendous confidence of investors in Service Long March Tyres, Pakistan’s capital market, and the country’s growth story.
Thank you to all investors for your trust and overwhelming support.

Asad Bhai, appreciate you taking the time to engage on this, let me share a few thoughts.
On the free float, for large companies, I'd suggest the right lens is the quantum being raised, not the percentage. At just 5%, SLM is raising PKR 7.7bn, the largest equity capital raise in PSX history. If we were to apply a 25% free float to a company of this size, you'd effectively be looking at somewhere close to PKR 140bn. I think we both know that's not a realistic ask, and frankly not necessary when the company's actual capital requirement is PKR 6-7bn. Raising far beyond what the business needs simply to satisfy oversubscription isn't good capital management and that’s why the regulator allow this thing in regulations.
On the margin and price discovery point, let me give you some numbers which will surely satisfy you. Out of the total PKR 69.4bn in participation, nearly 70-75% was deposited upfront in full cash and remaining were IDS institutional funds, so roughly around PKR 50bn of hard money was already there with NCCPl.. So the premise that institutional bids artificially inflated price discovery doesn't quite hold up, because the upper price cap was actually hit within the first two hours, entirely on the back of that fully-funded cash participation, before the IDS-based institutional bids even came into the picture.
As for the IDS portion, calling it "zero margin" or "public money with no skin in the game" isn't quite accurate either. IDS is a strictly regulated facility where NCCPL has direct legal access to institutional funds for settlement. It's not available to everyone, only specifically approved institutions qualify under SECP's framework. There's a meaningful difference between that and unfunded or speculative bidding.
And on the characterisation of this as "engineered scarcity", I'd respectfully disagree. Engineered scarcity implies deliberate structuring to manipulate outcomes. This was a company raising exactly what it needed, through a fully compliant process. That's not engineering, that's a well-run transaction meeting genuine market demand.
All said, this transaction followed every applicable rule, raised record capital for Pakistan's market, and reflected genuine investor confidence in a strong industrial name. That deserves to be seen for what it is. We are really proud all by the grace of Almighty Allah and all the best wishes to SLM for creating further value to all the shareholders !

The SLM IPO book building is actually a landmark achievement for Pakistan’s capital markets.
A few important facts need to be understood:
• No exemption whatsoever was taken from either SECP or PSX regarding free float, margin requirements, or the bidding process.
• A 5% free float is fully permissible under existing regulations for companies with paid-up capital exceeding PKR 10 billion. Even at 5%, SLM is raising approximately PKR 7.7 billion which is the highest ever equity capital raising in PSX history.
• Out of the approximately PKR 69.4 billion participation received, nearly 70–75% funds were deposited upfront in full (NCCPL has accurate data)
• The remaining 25–30% participation came through IDS arrangements, where NCCPL has direct regulatory access to financial institutional funds in case of settlement obligations. This facility is only available to specific approved institutions under a strict regulatory framework and importantly, not all financial institutions qualify for it.
• If pure margin based participation was allowed, the oversubscription could easily have crossed 25x, with bids potentially exceeding PKR 125 billion.
• The process today is actually far more transparent and efficient than before. With NCCPL’s involvement, brokers place bids directly for their clients through the system without dependence on the Book Runner or advisors.
The extraordinary participation reflects investor confidence in:
• Pakistan’s capital markets
• The Service Group
• Pakistan-China industrial partnership
• And Pakistan’s first & largest Truck & Bus Radial tyre manufacturer
This transaction should be celebrated, not undermined.
This is not just the success of SLM or its advisors, it is a success for the entire Pakistan capital market ecosystem.
