Priority Jewels IPO Fully Booked on Strong Retail Demand
Priority Jewels is selling shares to the public for the first time.
Its IPO opened on August 28 and will close on September 1, 2026.
The shares cost between ₹190 and ₹200 each.
The IPO was already fully booked on its first day, mainly because retail investors placed many orders.
A small application requires buying 75 shares.
The company makes lightweight gold and platinum jewellery with diamonds.
It sells jewellery to stores in India and some other countries.
Some investors expect the shares to list above the IPO price, but grey-market prices are unofficial and can change.
Anand Rathi said the price is high but recommended the issue for investors who can hold it for the long term.
Priority Jewels’ ₹91.50 crore IPO was subscribed 1.45 times on its first day, according to the report.
Retail investors subscribed 2.34 times, while qualified institutional and non-institutional portions were not yet fully subscribed at the time of reporting.
The IPO offers 45.75 lakh fresh shares at ₹190–200 each, with a minimum lot of 75 shares costing ₹15,000 at the upper band.
The company raised ₹27.45 crore from anchor investors before opening, while its shares traded in grey markets at an unofficial 18.50% premium.
Anand Rathi called the issue fully priced but gave it a “Subscribe for Long Term” rating, citing growth potential alongside industry risks.
