Investors are still excited about the Bharat Coking Coal IPO, even though its listing has been moved by a few days.
What is the grey market premium?
The grey market premium (GMP) is the extra amount traders are willing to pay for a share before it officially starts trading. A high GMP usually shows strong demand and expectations of a price rise.
Current GMP and expected listing price
At the moment, the GMP for Bharat Coking Coal is Rs13.65 per share. With an issue price of Rs23, this suggests a listing price near Rs36.65, which would be roughly a 60% gain for early investors.
Subscription highlights
- Overall bids: over Rs1.17 lakh crore
- Subscription level: about 147 times the offer size
- Number of applications: more than 90 lakh
- Strong demand from retail, non‑institutional, and institutional investors
Why investors stay bullish
Bharat Coking Coal is a subsidiary of Coal India and a leading supplier of coking coal, a key raw material for steel production. The market sees a shortage of pure‑play coking coal stocks, making this IPO attractive.
Risks and final thoughts
Grey market figures are unofficial and can change quickly. The actual listing price will depend on overall market sentiment on the day of the debut, which is now set for January 19.
