what happened

Investors bid for 59.44 crore shares against 19.75 crore shares on offer. The qualified institutional buyers portion was subscribed nine times, while the retail segment stayed undersubscribed at 0.68 times. Moody's reported that the Paras Healthcare offering, worth Rs.1,450 crore, drew little interest, with a subscription of just 0.15 times and the NII portion at 0.08 times.
Check grey market winner reported that the grey market premium for Jio Platforms stood at Rs.249, pointing to estimated listing gains of around 22%. For Paras Healthcare, the premium was Rs.30, or about 4.04%. These are unofficial market estimates, not trading results.
why it matters
The Jio Platforms issue stands out for its scale, with the company estimated at about Rs.10.3 lakh crore at the upper end of its price band. Strong institutional demand alongside weak interest in a smaller offering suggests investors are selecting large, well-known listings. Grey market premiums reflect sentiment, but they do not guarantee the listing price.
