RHP
A Red Herring Prospectus is an Indian public-offer document containing the issuer and offer disclosures available at that stage.
Plain-language meaning
A Red Herring Prospectus is an Indian public-offer document containing the issuer and offer disclosures available at that stage.
Why it is useful
RHP is useful as descriptive evidence when it is compared on the same definition, source, period, unit and exact listing. It is one input to research, not a verdict.
Where it appears in XMarketRadar
Look for RHP in IPO Calendar, IPO Details, the timeline, documents, demand table and IPO Screener where applicable.
How it is calculated or sourced
RHP is sourced or derived according to the definition shown above and the screen's disclosed provider, inputs, window and as-of time. Missing required inputs produce an unavailable result.
Inputs, period and unit
Read the disclosed inputs or source, observation period, bar interval, unit, native currency and scale. A value without its source and as-of context is incomplete; unlike units must not be combined.
Worked example
Illustrative only: After the offer timetable and price band are published, the RHP may contain later-stage terms than the DRHP; users should read the current document version and date.
What high and low mean
A higher or lower RHP value is descriptive, not automatically good or bad. Meaning depends on the instrument, comparison period, method and related evidence.
Positive, negative and genuine zero
Positive and negative RHP values retain the definition shown here. A genuine reported or computed zero is displayed as 0 and is not the same as missing evidence.
Limitations and common mistakes
RHP may differ by provider definition, observation time, instrument and venue. Common mistakes are dropping units or dates, comparing unlike scopes, and treating a missing value as zero.
Market-specific differences
IPO terminology and mechanics vary by venue (IND). Price discovery, application categories, lot sizes, documents and timelines must follow the specific official offer.
Suggested next steps
Open the related IPO terms below, then follow the matching Help Centre task guide and inspect RHP on an exact exchange listing. Confirm source, as-of time, units and unavailable reason before using it in research.
