Lenskart IPO: GMP Falls Amidst Concerns Ahead of Dalal Street Debut
Lenskart, a company that sells glasses and contact lenses, is going to start selling shares of its company on the stock market soon.
Lots of people wanted to buy these shares, so they bought way more than were available, which is good!
This means many people are interested in Lenskart.
However, before the shares officially start trading, there's something called a 'grey market premium' (GMP).
This is like a preview of how much people think the shares will be worth on the first day.
Recently, this preview has shown that the excitement for a big price jump has gone down a bit.
It means the expected profit from buying the shares on the first day is smaller than before.
So, while many people want Lenskart shares, the early signs suggest the price might not jump up as much as some people hoped.
Lenskart's IPO is scheduled to list on the BSE and NSE on November 10, 2025, after opening for subscription from October 31 to November 4.
The company raised ₹7,278.02 crore through its IPO, which included both fresh shares and an offer-for-sale.
Lenskart's IPO was subscribed 28.26 times in total, with strong interest from Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) who subscribed 40.35 times.
The Grey Market Premium (GMP) for Lenskart IPO has shown a declining trend, dropping by ₹11 per share.
The current GMP suggests an estimated listing price of ₹413 per share, a premium of about 2.74% over the issue price of ₹402.
