Technocrats Plasma IPO Day 4: GMP ₹21 (+₹6)
We’re on Day 4 of the Technocrats Plasma SME IPO subscription period, and it’s been a fascinating ride so far! The IPO, which opened on August 14th and closes on August 18th, is offering shares at ₹132 apiece. While the subscription numbers are still showing a flat zero across all categories at the moment, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) has seen a significant jump, painting a potentially bullish picture for this BSE SME listing.
| Date | GMP | Est. Listing |
|---|---|---|
| 20 Aug | +₹40 | ₹172 |
| 19 Aug | +₹40 | ₹172 |
| 18 Aug | +₹32 | ₹164 |
| 17 Aug | +₹32 | ₹164 |
| 14 Aug | +₹21 | ₹153 |
Subscription Status
As of Day 4, the subscription figures for Technocrats Plasma remain at 0x for Retail, NII (Non-Institutional Investors), QIB (Qualified Institutional Buyers), and the total. This might initially raise a few eyebrows, especially considering the IPO is nearing its closing date. However, it’s crucial to remember the dynamics of SME IPO subscriptions. Often, the bulk of the interest, particularly from retail investors, pours in on the final day or the last two days. This isn’t necessarily a cause for alarm just yet. For NII and QIB categories, a late surge is also common, especially if they are evaluating the company’s fundamentals and market sentiment closely. The lack of early subscription could also indicate that investors are waiting for clearer signals or perhaps waiting to deploy their capital closer to the deadline. We’ll need to keep a very close eye on the final day’s activity to get a true sense of demand.
| Category | Subscription | Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Retail | 0.00x | |
| NII / HNI | 0.00x | |
| QIB | 169.54x | |
| Total | 169.54x |
GMP Update
Now, let’s talk about the Grey Market Premium (GMP). This is where things get interesting. The current GMP for Technocrats Plasma stands at a robust ₹21. This is a substantial increase from yesterday’s GMP of ₹15, marking an upward movement of ₹6. This surge in GMP is a strong positive indicator. A rising GMP suggests that demand in the unlisted market is growing, and investors are willing to pay a premium over the issue price. Based on the current GMP of ₹21 and the issue price of ₹132, the expected listing price is around ₹153 (₹132 + ₹21). This potential listing gain of approximately 15.9% is certainly attractive. The increase of ₹6 in GMP overnight is particularly encouraging and signals growing confidence from market participants.
Should You Apply?
So, the million-dollar question: should you apply for Technocrats Plasma? It’s a classic case of weighing the subscription data against the GMP. The subscription numbers are currently stagnant, which could be a concern for some. However, the strong and upward-moving GMP is a significant counterpoint. This suggests that, despite the lack of early subscription figures, there’s a palpable demand brewing in the grey market. For investors who are comfortable with the inherent risks of SME IPOs and are looking for potential short-term gains, the current GMP presents an attractive proposition. Remember, SME IPOs are generally considered higher risk. It’s always wise to do your own due diligence and consider consulting with a SEBI registered investment advisor before making any investment decisions. The final day’s subscription will be the ultimate decider, but the current GMP is definitely turning heads.
