NSE IPO GMP Plunges Over 60% Despite Strong Subscription
The National Stock Exchange of India is offering its shares to the public.
Many investors have already applied for the shares.
However, unofficial traders expect a smaller extra price when the shares begin trading.
This expected extra price fell from ₹218 to ₹84 between September 11 and September 19.
The IPO’s price range is ₹1,700 to ₹1,785 per share.
The shares are expected to begin trading on September 24.
Existing shareholders are selling the shares, so NSE itself will not receive money from the sale.
The grey market estimate can change and does not guarantee the actual listing price.
The National Stock Exchange of India IPO’s grey market premium fell to ₹84 by 2 pm on September 19.
The latest GMP is 61.46% below its peak of ₹218 recorded on September 11.
Based on the ₹1,785 upper price band, the GMP implies an estimated listing price of about ₹1,869.
The ₹22,569-crore IPO was fully subscribed on its second bidding day, with bids for 10.28 crore shares against 8.86 crore available.
The offer is entirely a sale by existing shareholders, while NSE’s FY26 operating revenue declined more than 3% year-on-year.
