The grey market premium (GMP) for Resourceful Automobile's shares stands at Rs 90 per share as of today. This robust GMP suggests that the shares could list at Rs 207 per share, reflecting a remarkable 77% premium over the issue price of Rs 117. The GMP is the difference between the IPO's issue price and its expected listing price in the unofficial market.

While the GMP is an encouraging sign, it's essential to remember that it is a preliminary indicator based on market speculation. The actual listing price could differ, and investors are advised not to rely solely on GMP when making investment decisions.
