The Rs 177.81 crore public issue included a fresh issue of 53 lakh equity shares worth Rs 142.69 crore and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 13 lakh shares aggregating to Rs 35.12 crore. Priced between Rs 257 and Rs 270 per share, the IPO's strong subscription and a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 58 suggest a listing price of approximately Rs 328 per share, indicating a 21% premium over the upper price band.
Hem Securities managed the book-running for the issue, while Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. served as the registrar. Despite the promising GMP, investors are cautioned that grey market trends are unofficial and can fluctuate based on market conditions and sentiment.
