About the Issue (This is what experts say):

INOX is an expensive issue for a healthy gain from the emerging industry. One can apply for INOX IPO. One can make money in the long run. One could also make money in the short term. It is an okay issue but expensively priced.

INOX is a good issue and one can apply for its IPO. One can expect 10-15% appreciation on the listing.

INOX, which operates a chain of eight multiplexes at premium locations in seven cities across India under the INOX brand, recently entered into a tie-up with the Pantaloon group, which provides it with preferential access to all real estate developments that the Pantaloon group takes up to set up its retail chain.

The properties acquired through this alliance will be in addition to the properties that INOX has locked in on its own.
