Asset Reconstruction Co.(India) IPO Day 1: GMP ₹26
Welcome back, investors! We’re diving straight into the Day 1 subscription update for the Asset Reconstruction Co.(India) IPO, which opened its doors to the public on September 9th, 2026. As expected with many mainboard IPOs, the initial hours can be a bit of a slow burn, and today was no exception for Asset Reconstruction Co.(India). With the issue price set at ₹139 per share and the IPO period running until September 11th, it’s crucial to keep a close eye on how this one unfolds.

| 15 Sep | +₹17 | ₹156 |

Subscription Status
Let’s get straight to the numbers, or rather, the lack thereof for now. On Day 1, we saw absolutely zero subscription across all categories: Retail, Non-Institutional Investors (NII), and Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB). The total subscription also stands at a flat 0x. Now, don’t panic just yet. This is quite common for the first day of an IPO. Often, investors, especially larger institutions, prefer to wait until the latter half of the subscription period to gauge market sentiment and see how the retail segment is responding. The absence of early birds in the QIB and NII categories doesn’t necessarily signal a lack of interest; it simply means they haven’t made their move yet. We’ll need to see how things pick up from tomorrow onwards. A zero subscription on day one isn’t ideal, but it’s far from a deal-breaker at this early stage.
| Category | Subscription | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | 3.39x | |
| NII / HNI | 15.69x | |
| QIB | 52.65x | |
| Total | 52.65x |
GMP Update
Moving on to the Grey Market Premium (GMP), and here’s where we see some stability. The current GMP for Asset Reconstruction Co.(India) IPO is ₹26. This is exactly where it stood yesterday, indicating no significant shift in market sentiment or demand in the unofficial market. At an issue price of ₹139, a GMP of ₹26 suggests an expected listing price of around ₹165 (₹139 + ₹26). This is encouraging, as it points towards a potential positive listing for investors. The consistency in GMP is a good sign, showing that the underlying demand, even if not yet reflected in the official subscription numbers, is holding steady. We’ll be watching closely to see if this GMP strengthens or weakens as the subscription progresses.
Should You Apply?
So, the big question: should you be putting your money into Asset Reconstruction Co.(India) IPO right now? Based on Day 1, it’s a mixed bag.
