IPO GMP Disclaimer
IPO Grey Market Premium (GMP) is an unofficial indicator of market sentiment and is based on demand and supply in the grey market. The grey market is not regulated by SEBI or any official stock exchange.
Mixgain.com does not verify or guarantee the accuracy of GMP, Kostak, or Subject to Sauda data.
The GMP values are collected from various market sources and may change frequently.
Investors should note that:
- GMP is not an official price
- GMP can be highly volatile
- GMP does not guarantee listing gains
We strongly recommend investors to not make investment decisions solely based on GMP. Always analyze the company’s fundamentals, financials, and market conditions before applying for an IPO.

What is IPO GMP (Grey Market Premium)?
IPO GMP (Grey Market Premium) is the extra amount investors are willing to pay for IPO shares in the unofficial market before the shares are listed on the stock exchange.
It reflects the demand for an IPO in the grey market.
Example:
- IPO Issue Price = ₹100
- GMP = ₹50
Expected Listing Price = ₹150
This means investors are expecting the IPO to list at a premium.
How IPO GMP Works
Before an IPO gets listed, its shares are traded in the grey market, which operates outside official exchanges like NSE or BSE.
Buyers and sellers agree on a premium price
Transactions are based on trust (no regulation)
GMP increases when:
- IPO demand is high
- Subscription is strong
GMP decreases when:
- Market sentiment is weak
- Demand is low
How to Calculate Expected Listing Price
You can estimate the listing price using this formula:
Expected Listing Price = IPO Price + GMP
Example:
- IPO Price = ₹250
- GMP = ₹80
Expected Listing Price = ₹330
Note: This is only an estimate, not a guaranteed price.
Should You Invest in IPO Based on GMP?
GMP can give an idea about demand, but it should not be the only factor.
Before investing, check:
- Company fundamentals
- Valuation
- Market conditions
- Long-term potential
Smart investors use both analysis + market sentiment

What is Kostak Rate in IPO?
Kostak Rate is the fixed amount paid for an IPO application in the grey market.
It is paid even if the IPO is not allotted.
Example:
- Kostak Rate = ₹800
You will receive ₹800 per application regardless of allotment.
What is Subject to Sauda?
Subject to Sauda is a deal where:
You sell your IPO application only if allotment is received
- If allotment happens → deal is executed
- If not → no transaction
This reduces risk compared to Kostak deals.
