You can use the below xpath :

a[rel='noopener noreferrer']

to click on link.

new_link_element = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[rel='noopener noreferrer']")))
var_new_link = new_link_element.get_attribute('href')

in case you wanna click on it, you can do it like :

new_link_element.click()

Udpate :

once you click on Announcement of Offer Price and Allotment Results, a new tab will be opened up,

so next you have to switch the driver focus like this :

driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "SUMMARY"))).click()
