What is GMP versus Listing Price?

The GMP is the premium that an investor is willing to pay over and above the offer price of the IPO. The GMP fluctuates daily depending on market sentiment, demand for the IPO, IPO subscription, etc. The GMP is declared in the unofficial and unregulated grey market. Investors use the GMP of the IPO to predict the listing price.

However, the listing price is the price at which the shares are listed on the stock exchange. Once an IPO is listed on the stock exchange, it becomes a listed company and is subject to regulatory oversight by SEBI and the stock exchange. Once listed, the shares are bought and sold only on the stock exchange.
