GMP signals over 18% premium
As of today, the grey market premium (GMP) for Dev Accelerator’s IPO stands at ₹11 per share. This suggests that the shares are anticipated to list above their issue price. With this GMP and the IPO’s upper price band, the estimated listing price of the shares would be ₹72, reflecting an 18.03% premium over the issue price of ₹61 per share.
