CMPDI IPO Lists at 7% Discount on NSE, BSE; Weak Demand Keeps Stock Under Pressure Despite Mild Recovery

The CMPDI IPO listing turned out to be disappointing for investors as shares of Central Mine Planning & Design Institute Ltd, a subsidiary of Coal India, debuted at a discount on both NSE and BSE.

CMPDI Share Price Today

The CMPDI share price today opened at Rs.160 on NSE and Rs.162.8 on BSE, compared to the issue price of Rs.172 per share, marking a discounted listing.

Despite the weak start, the stock showed slight recovery during intraday trade. At the time of writing, the CMPDI IPO share price was trading at Rs.164.15, up around 0.83% from its listing price but still below its issue price.

CMPDI IPO Subscription & Demand

The CMPDI IPO subscription status clearly indicated a lack of strong demand. The issue was subscribed to just 1.05 times overall. If we look at the sector-wise performance, the QIB (qualified institutional buyers) portion was 3.48 times subscribed, and the NII subscribed only 35%. The IPO was subscribed 33% by the retail and the employee quota saw 21% subscription.

CMPDI IPO Details

The issue was open for bidding from March 20 to March 24, with a price band of Rs.163-172 per share and a lot size of 80 shares.

The company aimed to raise around Rs.1,842 crore through the IPO, which was entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of 10.71 crore equity shares. This means the company itself did not receive fresh funds, which may have also influenced investor sentiment.

CMPDI IPO GMP Trend

The CMPDI IPO GMP (grey market premium) also signalled caution ahead of listing. Initially, the GMP was in the Rs. 19-27 range, but it dropped sharply closer to listing, falling to around Rs. 1-4.

Stock Outlook & Expert Analysis

Brokerage firms had mixed views on the issue. While some recommended subscribing for the long term, others remained cautious due to valuation concerns and a lack of strong growth triggers. However, as a Coal India subsidiary and a PSU Miniratna company, the stock may still be tracked by long-term investors for potential value.

Gaurav Garg, Research Analyst at Lemonn Markets Desk, said, "CMPDI, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, made a weak stock market debut, listing at a discount of around 5-7% to its issue price despite marginal grey market expectations. The muted listing reflects subdued retail participation and overall cautious market sentiment, with the IPO seeing only modest subscription levels. While the stock showed slight recovery post-listing, the lack of strong demand suggests limited near-term upside. Investors may consider using any short-term bounce to exit, while fresh entries should be approached cautiously, waiting for clear price stability and institutional accumulation signals."
