  • Fixed Price Issue
  • In fixed-price Issue, the issue price is already decided by the issuer and mentioned in the offer document.

  • Book Building Issue
  • Book Building Issue is a type of Issue where investors bid for the issue price within the price band specified by the issuer and the final price is determined only after the closure of the bidding period.
