NIACL, IFCI shares tumble up to 14 as NSE IPO GMP falls · thehansindia.com

Shares of New India Assurance Company Limited and IFCI fell sharply on Tuesday.

Investors had expected the National Stock Exchange IPO to benefit these companies because they have indirect or direct stakes linked to the exchange.

New India Assurance Company Limited owns 1.42% of the National Stock Exchange.

IFCI owns 52% of Stock Holding Corporation of India Limited, which owns about 4.4% of the exchange.

The IPO’s grey market premium dropped from Rs 310 on September 5 to Rs 221 on September 8.
