Even as the markets are expecting almost negligible listing day gains from the currently underway Hyundai Motor India's IPO worth Rs 27,870.16 crores IPO, the biggest India has ever seen, the GMP (grey market premium) of another upcoming mainboard IPO, Waaree Energies is seeing rapid growth.

A high GMP signifies that investors are expecting the stock to see a strong listing on the bourses, which translates into potentially high listing day gains for them.

The Hyundai IPO, which will close for subscription tomorrow, saw its GMP drop to Rs 25 today, with the estimated listing price also inching down to Rs 1,985. This brings its potential listing gains per share to a minuscule 1.28%.

On the other hand, the IPO of Waaree Energies, which will start on October 21 and continue till October 23, and has a price band of Rs 1,427-1,503 saw its GMP jump to Rs 1,365 today. This takes its probable listing price to Rs 2,868, and prospective listing day gains to a whopping 90.82%, data from IPO website Chittorgarh showed.

Unlike Hyundai India's IPO, which is entirely an OFS (offer for sale), Waaree Energy's Rs 4,321.44 crore IPO is a combination of fresh issue of 2.4 crore shares (worth Rs 3,600 crore) and OFS worth 0.48 crore shares, or Rs 721.44 crore. Notably, Hyundai Motor India will list on NSE and BSE on October 22, 2024, Waaree Energies is scheduled to be listed on stock exchanges on October 28, 2024.
