Ganesh Consumer Products Ltd is set to make its stock market debut today, September 29, on both BSE and NSE. Despite strong fundamentals and a sizable issue size, market experts are signaling a muted listing, with grey market premium (GMP) trends showing minimal upside.
Key highlights from the IPO and listing outlook:
1. The IPO was open from September 22 to 24 and raised Rs 408.8 crore through a mix of fresh issue and offer for sale
2. The issue price was finalized at Rs 322 per share, with a GMP of just Rs 2, indicating a modest listing price of Rs 324
3. Shares will be listed in the B Group of Securities and will be available for trading from 10:00 am during the Special Pre-open Session
4. The IPO received a measured response compared to recent oversubscribed offerings, suggesting cautious investor sentiment
5. Ganesh Consumer Products is a Kolkata-based FMCG company known for packaged wheat flour, spices, and ready-to-cook mixes
6. The company has a strong distribution network in East India and ranks third in packaged wheat flour market share in the region
7. Experts attribute the muted GMP to conservative valuations and lack of aggressive investor bidding
8. The IPO allotment was finalized on September 25, with shares credited to demat accounts by September 26
9. Analysts suggest long-term prospects remain intact due to brand strength and regional dominance
10. Investors are advised to monitor post-listing volumes and price action before making fresh entries
