Grey Market Premium (GMP) Trend: Is It Rising or Falling?
Amid the intense bidding rush, all eyes are locked on the unofficial premium counters. As per the latest market desk updates:
- Current GMP: ₹0 (Flat / Unquoted officially)
- Estimated Listing Gain: N/A (Awaiting formal listing discovery)
- GMP Direction: While the recorded grey market premium stands at ₹0, the unlisted market sentiment remains hyper-bullish. The absence of a volatile speculative spike reflects institutional price discipline rather than a lack of demand.
Market observers note that in mega-cap marquee public issues like the NSE, traditional grey market speculative spikes can remain muted or stable at ₹0 while fundamental price discovery plays out on official exchange bourses upon listing.

Key Bidding Strategy & What Investors Should Do Next
With retail quotas filling fast, the likelihood of a tight allotment lottery is exceptionally high. Here is what smart bidders need to keep in mind:
- Apply via Multiple Unique PANs: To maximize retail allotment odds in an oversubscribed book, submit single-lot applications across different family members’ Demat accounts rather than multiple lots on a single PAN.
- Bid at Cut-Off Price: Ensure retail applications are placed strictly at the cut-off price to prevent rejection during the final pricing reconciliation.
- Approve UPI Mandates Immediately: High banking server traffic can lead to failed authorizations. Approve your ASBA / UPI mandate promptly to confirm your bid.
