Ather Energy IPO GMP

Ahead of the listing, shares of Ather Energy were commanding at a grey market premium (GMP) of +- Rs 5 per share, according to Investorgain. The figure suggested a potential listing price in the range of Rs 316-326 on the upper end of the Ather Energy IPO price band.

Investors were expected to see gains of a meagre 2.18 per cent amid speculation of a flat debut on the bourses.

GMP is the price at which an IPO share is being traded unofficially before it is listed on the stock exchange. It reflects how the market perceives the IPO—if the GMP is positive (i.e., above the issue price), it suggests strong demand and expectations of a good listing gain. If it’s negative, it may signal weak sentiment.

GMP is a speculative indicator, useful for gauging hype but not reliable for investment decisions.
