Shankesh Jewellers Debuts 11% Above IPO Issue Price
Shankesh Jewellers sold shares to the public through an IPO.
Its shares began trading on August 25, 2026, on the NSE and BSE.
The company had set the IPO price at ₹93 per share.
Before listing, the unofficial grey market suggested a price of about ₹95.
However, the shares opened higher than that estimate.
They listed at ₹103.30 on the NSE and ₹102.20 on the BSE.
This meant investors received an opening gain compared with the IPO price.
The company makes customised handcrafted gold jewellery and plans to use some IPO money to reduce borrowings.
Shankesh Jewellers shares listed at ₹103.30 on NSE and ₹102.20 on BSE on August 25, 2026.
The NSE listing represented an 11.08% premium and the BSE listing a 9.89% premium to the ₹93 issue price.
The ₹367.18-crore IPO was subscribed 2.80 times, led by non-institutional investors at 5.7 times.
The issue included a ₹274.18-crore fresh issue and a ₹93-crore offer-for-sale.
The company plans to use ₹158 crore of proceeds to repay or pre-pay certain outstanding borrowings.

Positive listing and business outlook
The shares opened at premiums of 11.08% on the NSE and 9.89% on the BSE, exceeding the pre-listing grey-market estimate of about ₹95.
Caution despite strong debut
The grey market premium was only an unofficial indicator and did not guarantee the actual listing price or future performance.
IPO demand
Positive listing and business outlook
The issue was subscribed 2.80 times, with particularly strong demand from non-institutional investors at 5.7 times.
Caution despite strong debut
Subscription figures and a strong opening do not by themselves establish how the stock will perform over the longer term.
Valuation and prospects

Anand Rathi Research described the IPO as fairly priced and cited financial growth, improving profitability, an asset-light model, and an established B2B handcrafted jewellery presence before recommending “Subscribe: Long Term.”
