LSN India ·
Jewellery companies Vishal Nirmiti and Nityas Gems and Jewellery commenced grey market trading on Monday with contrasting investor sentiment reflected in their respective premiums. The grey market premium, an informal barometer of investor demand before official exchange listing, provides early signals about potential listing day performance. Vishal Nirmiti IPO was quoting a modest grey market premium of Rs 2 per share during early trading, while Nityas Gems and Jewellery displayed different momentum in the unofficial market. Both offerings tap into India's resilient jewellery sector, which has shown steady consumer demand despite macroeconomic fluctuations. The grey market activity underscores cautious investor positioning in the current market environment, with premiums indicating limited euphoria but steady interest in the sector. Official listing details for both companies are expected in the coming sessions, when grey market premiums will be tested against actual market-determined prices on the exchanges. Investors will be watching closely for any divergence between grey market signals and official listing performance, particularly given recent volatility in IPO debut performance across sectors.
