Chance of allotment
Retail1.02× subscribed
~1 in 1
Minimum 1 lot · 101 shares · ₹14,948 blocked

Retail is 1.02× subscribed. Allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so roughly 1 in 1 applications gets one lot. Bidding for extra lots does not improve these odds.

HNI / NII0.94× subscribed
Full allotment
Minimum 14 lots · 1,414 shares · ₹2,09,272 blocked

The HNI portion is under-subscribed at 0.94×, so applications should be allotted in full.

Derived from SEBI's allotment mechanics and the subscription figures beside it. Retail allotment is a lottery on a single lot, so applying for more lots does not improve your chance of getting something.

Grey market premium

Unofficial dealer quotes — not published by NSE, BSE, SEBI or the company

₹15+10.1%
over the upper band · last seen 10 Oct 2026 · flat since 18 Sept 2026

What this number is not. Grey-market premium is an unregulated, thinly-traded quote from private dealers. It is not a forecast of the listing price, it is not verifiable, and it can be moved by the same people who benefit from it looking high. We publish it because you will look it up anyway — and we deliberately do not convert it into an expected listing gain, because that arithmetic implies a reliability the number has never earned. For what actually happened to comparable issues, see recent outcomes below.

54.8% of this issue is an offer for sale. That money goes to existing shareholders selling their stake, not into the company. The business receives only the fresh-issue portion.

Blank cells are figures the offer document does not publish. An unlisted issuer has no market price, so it has no price-based multiple until it lists — which is exactly why the comparison is against companies that already trade. The peer set is the issuer's own selection, so read it as the flattering-est comparison available rather than a neutral one.

Common questions

What is the Varmora Granito Limited IPO GMP today?

The most recent grey-market premium recorded for Varmora Granito Limited is ₹15 per share — about 10.1% over the ₹148 upper band. Grey-market premium is an unofficial, unregulated quote from private dealers. It is not published by NSE, BSE, SEBI or the company, and it is not a forecast of the listing price.

How many times is the Varmora Granito Limited IPO subscribed?

Varmora Granito Limited is subscribed 1.60× overall (QIB 3.10×, NII 0.94×, retail 1.02×). Subscription keeps changing until the issue closes; the final basis of allotment is published by the registrar, KARVY.

What is the minimum investment in the Varmora Granito Limited IPO?

One lot is 101 shares, so a retail application at the ₹148 cut-off price blocks ₹14,948. Retail applications are capped at ₹2,00,000; above that you bid in the HNI category, where allotment is proportionate rather than by lottery.

What are the chances of allotment in the Varmora Granito Limited IPO?

The retail portion is subscribed 1.02×, so allotment is by lottery and the odds of receiving at least one lot are roughly 1 in 1. Applying for more lots does not improve the chance of getting something — every retail applicant competes for the same single minimum lot.

When is the Varmora Granito Limited IPO allotment date?

Allotment is scheduled for 2026-09-25, with listing on 2026-09-29. These dates are the issuer's tentative timetable — a date passing is not confirmation that the step completed. Allotment status is published by the registrar, KARVY.

Disclaimer. Figures are compiled from the issuer's offer document and exchange-published bidding data. Subscription changes until the issue closes, and the final basis of allotment is published by the registrar. Grey-market premium is unofficial and is not a forecast. Nothing here is investment advice or a recommendation — read the offer document and consult a SEBI-registered adviser before applying.
