However, the public issue was priced at higher valuations due to which the stock received moderate demand in all categories except QIB segment.

In bears’ case, RR Kabel share price may open at around Rs 1200 whereas in bulls’ case, RR Kabel shares may list at around Rs 1320 apiece levels. So, the share may debut in between Rs 1200 to Rs 1320 range depending upon the market sentiments during opening bell today.”
