Emerald Tyre Manufacturers Ltd, a tyre maker known for its "GRECKSTER" brand, has attracted attention in the stock market, as its initial public offering (IPO) closed on December 9. This small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) IPO, listed on the NSE SME platform, raised interest from both retail and institutional investors. The IPO, which opened for subscription on December 5, has seen oversubscription.

Subscription Figures

The Emerald Tyre Manufacturers IPO saw a subscription rate of 530.59 times by the time the bidding process concluded.

The qualified institutional buyers (QIB) portion was also oversubscribed, albeit at a slightly lower rate of 195.95 times.

Grey Market Premium (GMP)

One of the key indicators of investor sentiment towards an IPO is its grey market premium (GMP). The GMP of Emerald Tyre Manufacturers has been particularly strong.

The company planned to raise Rs 49.26 crore from the IPO, which consists of both a fresh issue and an offer-for-sale (OFS). The fresh issue comprises 49.86 lakh equity shares, worth Rs 47.37 crore, while the OFS portion includes 1.99 lakh shares valued at Rs 1.89 crore.
