Shiprocket IPO closes today: GMP, listing gains, allotment date and key details explained

The initial public offering (IPO) of Shiprocket closes today, August 14, giving investors the final opportunity to subscribe to the ₹1,617.48 crore public issue.

The IPO has generated significant interest in the grey market, with the latest grey market premium (GMP) pointing towards a potential listing gain if current trends continue. However, market experts caution that GMP is unofficial and should not be treated as a guarantee of listing performance.

The ₹1,617.48 crore IPO comprises:

• Offer for Sale (OFS): 7.55 crore shares worth ₹731.98 crore

The company plans to use the proceeds from the fresh issue for business expansion and other corporate purposes, while the OFS allows existing shareholders to partially dilute their holdings.
