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

5 Reasons Why A Company Launches an IPO

Many companies have bank loans. By getting money from IPO, they can pay back loans and become financially stronger.

When a company gets listed on stock exchange, more people know about it. This increases trust and reputation in the market.

Early investors and employees who own company shares can finally sell them and get money after IPO listing.
Support Future Expansion
Public companies can easily buy other companies, do partnerships, and grow faster in the future.

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.

Find answers to common IPO queries and clarify your doubts before you place bids.
What is an IPO and how does it work?
An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is the process through which a private company sells shares to the public for the first time. The company files its offer documents with SEBI, opens a bidding window for investors, and gets listed on NSE or BSE once the process is complete. Investors apply through their demat account using UPI or ASBA and receive shares only if allotted.
How can I check my IPO allotment status?
Allotment status is published by the registrar (Link Intime, KFin Technologies, or Bigshare) typically on T+1, one working day after the IPO closes. You can check it using your PAN or application number on the registrar's website, on BSE/NSE, or through your broker app.
What is Grey Market Premium (GMP) in an IPO?
Grey Market Premium (GMP) is the unofficial premium at which IPO shares trade before listing, used informally to gauge demand. It is not regulated or endorsed by SEBI and can change daily, so it should be treated as one sentiment indicator rather than a reliable prediction of the listing price.
How do I apply for an IPO online in India?
Log in to your trading or banking app, select the IPO, enter your bid price and quantity, and approve the UPI mandate to block the required funds. To apply, you'll need an active demat account, a PAN card, and a UPI ID linked to your bank account.
What is the difference between a Mainboard and an SME IPO?
Mainboard IPOs are larger issues (typically above ₹10 crore) listed on the main NSE/BSE platforms, generally offering better liquidity. SME IPOs are smaller issues (roughly ₹1–10 crore) listed on NSE Emerge or BSE SME, which can offer higher growth potential but come with higher risk and lower trading liquidity.
Does applying early improve my chances of IPO allotment?
No, IPO allotment isn't first-come, first-served. For oversubscribed issues, retail allotment is decided by a computerized lottery regardless of when you applied. Bidding at the cut-off price and applying through your own PAN and demat account (rather than submitting duplicate applications) keeps your application valid, but doesn't influence the lottery odds themselves.
What documents do I need to invest in an IPO?
You need a valid PAN card, an active demat account, a bank account linked to that demat account, completed KYC, and a UPI ID for payment. You must be at least 18 years old to invest in IPOs in India.
Is investing in an IPO risky?
Yes, like any market-linked investment, IPOs carry risk; share prices can list below the issue price, and past listing performance doesn't guarantee future results. It's worth reviewing the company's financials and the offer document (RHP) and considering your own risk appetite, rather than relying on subscription numbers or GMP alone.
What is the minimum amount needed to apply for an IPO?
The minimum investment is one "lot," a fixed number of shares set by the company for that issue, multiplied by the IPO price, which typically works out to approximately ₹13,000–₹15,000 for most mainboard IPOs, though this varies by issue. The exact lot size and minimum amount are specified in each IPO's offer document.
