The price band for the issue was set between ₹21 and ₹23 per equity share. The subscription window for the BCCL IPO was open from January 9, 2026, to January 13, 2026. It received an exceptional response from investors, being oversubscribed approximately 147 times overall, with strong demand across all investor categories. Retail investors' portion was subscribed around 49.37 times, while Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) and Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) saw subscriptions of 310.81 times and 240.49 times, respectively.

Initially, the listing on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE was scheduled for January 16, 2026. However, it has been officially postponed to Monday, January 19, 2026, at 10 am.
