Soon after listing, the stock slipped further and touched an intra-day low of Rs 530 on the NSE, down over 4 percent from the issue price.
On the BSE, it also fell before recovering briefly to touch a day’s high of Rs 565 but later declined again.

Mangal Electrical Industries had raised Rs 400 crore through its Initial Public Offer (IPO), which was subscribed nearly 10 times by investors.
