NSE IPO news: After receiving SEBI’s nod for the IPO launch, focus has shifted to the NSE IPO price band and opening date. According to reported by various news agencies, the expected price band could be ₹1700 to ₹1785, and the opening date could be 18 September 2026. However, the grey market is witnessing a consistent profit-booking.
According to market observers, NSE shares have fallen from ₹285 to ₹226 in the last two days. However, if we compare this with the reported NSE IPO price band expected by various news agencies, the grey market is still dropping a positive vibe regarding the NSE IPO.
NSE IPO GMP today
As mentioned above, the NSE IPO GMP today is ₹226, ₹29 lower than the NSE IPO GMP of ₹255 on Wednesday morning. The NSE IPO GMP was ₹285 when SEBI gave its approval to the most-awaited public issue. So, NSE IPO GMP has fallen from ₹285 to ₹226 in the last four days. Market observers believe the start of the lock-in period for pre-IPO investors and weak sentiment in the secondary market could be the reasons for this drop in the NSE IPO GMP. They predicted a positive revival in the grey market sentiment once the NSE IPO price band is declared.
