- Subscription levels: 81.17 times overall

- Retail: 30.37 times

- Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs): 117.33 times

IPO Performance: Strong Demand Across Investor Categories

The IPO, which opened for subscription on July 25 and closed on July 29, saw overwhelming interest from all investor segments. The NII and QIB categories led the charge with subscription rates of 151.48 and 117.33 times respectively, while retail investors also showed strong participation at 30.37 times.

The allotment was finalized on July 30, and shares were credited to successful applicants on July 31. The stock will be available for trading from 10:00 AM today, as part of the Special Pre-open Session.

Grey Market Signals: Mild Yet Positive Sentiment

The GMP for Shanti Gold International stood at Rs 34 as of this morning, suggesting a listing price of Rs 233 — a 17 percent premium over the issue price. While not explosive, this premium reflects steady investor confidence and a healthy appetite for quality jewellery manufacturers in the SME space.

Market watchers note that the GMP has remained stable despite broader market volatility, indicating that the listing may be smooth and measured rather than dramatic.

Company Overview: Crafting a Niche in Gold Jewellery

Established in 2003, Shanti Gold International specializes in 22kt CZ casting gold jewellery, catering primarily to B2B clients across India. The company operates a fully integrated manufacturing facility in Andheri East, Mumbai, with an annual production capacity of 2,700 kg.

Its product portfolio includes intricately designed bangles, rings, necklaces, and bridal sets, serving clients in over 15 states and one union territory. Notable customers include Joyalukkas and Lalitha Jewellery.

Financial Snapshot and IPO Utilization

For FY25, Shanti Gold reported a 56 percent jump in revenue to Rs 1,112 crore and a 108 percent surge in net profit to Rs 56 crore. The IPO proceeds will be used to:

- Set up a new manufacturing facility in Jaipur

- Fund working capital requirements

- Reduce existing debt

This strategic expansion is aimed at boosting production capacity and enhancing market presence in northern India.

Valuation and Market Sentiment

Post-issue, the company’s valuation stands at a P/E of 25.69x, which analysts consider slightly premium given the fragmented nature of India’s gold jewellery market. However, the strong financials and operational momentum may justify the pricing in the long term.

Investors are now watching closely to see if the secondary market sustains the enthusiasm shown during the IPO bidding phase.

Conclusion: A Measured Debut with Room to Shine

Shanti Gold International’s listing today marks a significant milestone for the company and its investors. While the GMP hints at a modest listing pop, the real test will be how the stock performs in the coming weeks amid competitive pressures and evolving consumer demand.

With solid fundamentals and a clear expansion roadmap, Shanti Gold enters the public market with cautious optimism and a glimmer of gold.
