What Are IPOs (Initial Public Offerings)?
An Initial Public Offering is the process where a company lists itself on the stock exchange by selling shares to the public. This helps companies get capital and offers investment opportunities to retail and institutional investors.
How Does an IPO Work?
Planning & DRHP
The company prepares a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) and files it with SEBI for approval.
Approval & Price Band
Investors check the IPO list and apply for shares through their bank or trading app.
Bidding & Subscription
Shares get allotted to investors, and the company starts trading on stock exchanges like NSE and BSE.
What Are The Types Of IPOs?
Two IPO methods exist in India - Fixed Price and Book Building. Each has unique features for different investor needs.
Fixed Price IPO +
In a Fixed Price IPO, the company announces one fixed share price before launching. Investors cannot change this price and must pay the complete amount during application. This type is less common in India now.
- Fixed price set by company
- 100% upfront payment required
- Simple for retail bidders
Book Building IPO +
A Book Building IPO offers a price band where investors can bid. For example, if the range is ₹200-₹250, you choose your bid price. The final issue price depends on investor demand. Most Indian IPOs use this method.
- Price band (e.g. ₹200-210)
- Price discovered by demand
- Highly transparent process

Grey Market Premium (GMP)?
Grey Market Premium (GMP) is the unofficial price at which IPO shares trade before they are officially listed on the stock exchange. This trading happens in an informal market where people buy and sell IPO applications or expected shares.
For example, if an IPO has a price of ₹100 and GMP is ₹50, it means shares are expected to list at ₹150.
Key Insights
- GMP shows market demand for an IPO before listing
- High GMP means strong investor interest
- It changes daily based on market conditions
- GMP is not always accurate
- Should not be the only factor for investment decisions
How It Works
- 1Seller gets fixed Kostak amount immediately after selling application
- 2Buyer takes risk of allotment - may or may not get shares
- 3Kostak rate is lower than GMP due to allotment uncertainty
- 4If allotted, buyer profits; if not allotted, buyer loses Kostak amount
Kostak Rate?
Kostak Rate is the price at which investors sell their IPO application rights immediately after applying, without waiting for allotment or listing. Some investors apply for IPOs not to hold shares, but to sell their application form to others who want to increase their chances of getting allotment.
