Juniper Green Energy IPO lists today; GMP signals modest debut
A company that makes electricity from the sun and wind is selling small pieces of itself to people for the first time.
This is called an IPO, which stands for Initial Public Offering.
The company wants to use the money to pay back loans and help its other companies grow.
Big investors wanted lots of shares, but regular people were less interested, and two reports give different numbers about this.
Some people who guess prices before trading starts think the shares will open a little higher than the original price.
Two reports give different guesses: one says about ₹241.5 and the other says about ₹238.
The shares will start trading on August 6 on two big Indian stock exchanges, the BSE and NSE.
Some experts say the shares cost a lot right now, but the company could do well in the long run as it builds new solar and wind projects.
So on the first day, everyone will watch to see whether the shares go up or down.
Juniper Green Energy's shares are set to debut on the BSE and NSE on 6 August after allotment was finalised on 4 August.
Subscription figures differ across reports: 7.97 times with QIBs at 24.94 times, NIIs at 1.82 times and retail at 93%, versus 8.4 times overall with retail at 0.98 times.
Grey market signals also conflict: a GMP of ₹16.5 implies a listing near ₹241.5 (gain of 7.33%), while a GMP of ₹13 implies a listing near ₹238.
The ₹1,800 crore fresh issue, priced at ₹214–225 per share, will use ₹683.24 crore to repay debt and ₹728.69 crore to fund subsidiaries.
Experts expect a muted listing despite strong long-term fundamentals; FY26 PAT rose 10.9% to ₹40.46 crore and revenue rose 41.3% to ₹718.93 crore.

Market debut outlook
Optimistic / Long-term view
Grey market signals point to a positive debut, with the premium trending higher over 12 sessions and a potential listing gain of up to 7.33%.
Cautious / Near-term view
Market experts expect a muted listing, noting the grey market premium has softened to around 6% of the upper price band.
Valuation
Optimistic / Long-term view
Strong fundamentals, a diversified renewable portfolio, long-term power purchase agreements and India's clean energy transition support sustained growth.
Cautious / Near-term view
At ₹225, the IPO is valued at 36.9x FY26 EV/EBITDA, a premium valuation that already factors in near-term growth and limits upside.
Investment strategy
Optimistic / Long-term view
Investors with a 2–3 year horizon should hold, as project commissioning and improving cash flows can drive sustainable earnings growth.
Cautious / Near-term view
Short-term investors may consider booking listing gains, and fresh investors should wait one to two quarters for better visibility.
