IRFC IPO: Check share allotment status via BSE, registrar’s website; grey market premium, listing date

The Rs 4,633-crore Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC), which was subscribed 3.49 times during the IPO process, is expected to finalise the basis of share allotment on January 25, 2021. The grey market premium of IRFC shares has fallen to Rs 0.60-0.65 today from Re 1 earlier this week. It was the first initial public offer in the calendar year 2021 and the first public issue by a railway non-banking financial company (NBFC). IRFC shares are likely to be listed on stock exchanges, BSE and NSE, on January 29. AR Ramachandran, Co-founder & Trainer, Tips2Trade, told The Outlooker Online, due to steady fundamentals and strong demand from retail and QIB investors, IRFC could open positively on listing day. However, investors are advised to book profits on listing gains and wait for dips to again accumulate as the overall market could be very volatile due to the results season and the much-awaited Union Budget 2021.
