Roopa Screen IPO Day 3: GMP ₹14
Well, folks, we’ve officially hit the halfway mark for the Roopa Screen IPO! Today marks Day 3 of the subscription period, and as we dive into the numbers, it’s time for a crucial check-in. With the IPO closing on September 28th, investors are keenly watching every move. Let’s break down what the latest subscription figures and Grey Market Premium (GMP) are telling us about Roopa Screen’s journey to the stock market.
| Date | GMP | Est. Listing |

| 29 Sep | +₹14 | ₹78 |

Subscription Status
As of Day 3, the subscription numbers for Roopa Screen IPO are showing a flat zero across all categories: Retail, Non-Institutional Investors (NII), and Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB). The total subscription is also at 0x. Now, this might seem a bit concerning at first glance, but it’s not entirely uncommon, especially for SME IPOs. Often, the bulk of the subscription activity happens in the final days, particularly on Day 4 and Day 5. Retail investors, who typically drive a significant portion of SME IPO subscriptions, tend to wait until the eleventh hour to make their decisions. Similarly, NIIs and QIBs might be conducting their due diligence and will likely place their bids closer to the closing date. The absence of any subscription yet doesn’t necessarily mean a lack of interest; it could simply indicate a delayed engagement strategy from potential investors.
| Category | Subscription | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | 0.00x | |
| NII / HNI | 0.00x | |
| QIB | 44.81x | |
| Total | 44.81x |
GMP Update
Turning our attention to the Grey Market Premium (GMP), Roopa Screen IPO’s GMP has remained steady at ₹14. Yesterday, it was also at ₹14, and it hasn’t budged. At an issue price of ₹64, a GMP of ₹14 suggests a potential listing price of approximately ₹78 (Issue Price + GMP). This indicates a modest premium of around 21.87% over the issue price. While a stable GMP is generally a positive sign, showing consistent demand in the unofficial market, the lack of an upward trend might be something to observe. However, for an SME IPO, a consistent and positive GMP is often enough to attract interest, especially if it aligns with investor expectations for listing gains.
Should You Apply?
So, the big question remains: should you be applying for the Roopa Screen IPO? The current subscription status is a blank slate, which means there’s ample opportunity for investors to get in. The GMP, while not skyrocketing, is positive and suggests a healthy listing. Considering the lot size of 2000 shares, an application would require a minimum investment of ₹128,000 (2000 shares * ₹64 issue price). The IPO period runs until September 28th, giving you a few more days to make a well-informed decision. Remember, it’s always wise to consult with SEBI-registered investment advisors before making any investment decisions. They can provide personalized guidance based on your risk appetite and financial goals. The bottom line is, while the subscription numbers are yet to pick up, the GMP offers a glimmer of optimism for a decent listing. Keep an eye on the subscription figures in the coming days; that’s where you’ll see the real picture emerge.
