What is a Price Band in a book built IPO?

The prospectus may contain either the floor price for the securities or a price
band within which the investors can bid. The spread between the floor and
the cap of the price band shall not be more than 20%. In other words, it
means that the cap should not be more than 120% of the floor price.

The price band can have a revision and such a revision in the price band shall be
widely disseminated by informing the stock exchanges, by issuing a press
release and also indicating the change on the relevant website and the
terminals of the trading members participating in the book building process.
In case the price band is revised, the bidding period shall be extended for a
further period of three days, subject to the total bidding period not
exceeding ten days.
