expectation ~10% (₹810-820 range) |
Market Fear |
Investors worried ki listing pe
returns muted ho sakte hain, ya volatility ho sakti hai |
Possible Reason for Fear |
GMP lagataar soft ho raha
haiSentiment cautious hai due to valuation concernsLarge IPO size —
supply-demand mismatch ho sakta hai |
💡 Market Logic
➡ GMP ₹74 on ₹740 price = ~10% premium
➡ Market me pehle 30%+ listing gain ki ummeed thi (₹950 tak)
➡ Ab reality me log cautious ho rahe hain — ho sakta hai listing day pe
selling pressure aaye
🔑 Kya dekhna chahiye before
listing date?
✅ GMP daily track karo (agar ₹50-₹70 tak aur girta hai, listing pe
pressure badhega)
✅ QIB/HNI subscription data dekho
✅ Market sentiment (Banking & NBFC stocks pe pressure ho toh impact
ho sakta hai)
