Bumper Listing: NACDAC Infrastructure Shares Make Stellar Debut, List At 90% Premium From IPO Price

NACDAC Infrastructure made a stellar debut on the stock exchanges with its shares listing at Rs 66.5 on the BSE SME platform, reflecting a premium of 90% over its issue price of Rs 35 per share. The demand for NACDAC Infrastructure's initial public offering (IPO) and a strong grey market premium (GMP) ahead of listing contributed to this impressive start.

The grey market premium (GMP), which stood at Rs 50 per share, indicated a potential listing premium of 142%, setting expectations for multibagger returns. While the actual listing at Rs 66.5 slightly undercut the GMP forecast, the 90% premium still delivered strong gains for early investors.

The NACDAC Infrastructure IPO opened for subscription on December 17 and closed on December 19. The IPO allotment was finalized on December 20, and shares were listed on the BSE SME today, December 24. The offering comprised a fresh issue of 28.60 lakh equity shares, entirely raising Rs 10.01 crore.

With a price band set at Rs 33 to Rs 35 per share, the IPO aimed to utilize the proceeds for working capital requirements, and general corporate purposes.

The IPO garnered bids for over 411 crore shares worth Rs 14,385 crore, against an offering of just 18.60 lakh shares. This resulted in an oversubscription, making NACDAC Infrastructure one of the most sought-after SME IPOs in recent times.
