In the grey market, the premium for Hyundai Motor India’s unlisted shares has been on a steady decline. The company’s shares were trading at a premium of Rs 25 against the upper end of the IPO price of Rs 1,960, reflecting a grey market premium (GMP) of 1.28 per cnet. Today’s GMP is significantly lower than the Rs 147 recorded on October 9, when Hyundai Motor announced its price band, revealed the sources tracking grey market activities. IPO GMP generally reflects investor sentiment and demand, with a higher GMP indicating strong demand and potential for listing gains. That said, GMP is an unofficial and unregulated market indicator, subject to factors such as market conditions, company fundamentals, and investor enthusiasm.
