Shares of Boss Packaging Solutions plunged nearly 5% on Friday after the company was listed on the stock exchange.
What Happened: The company, with a small office in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad, was listed on the NSE small and medium enterprises platform at ₹82.5, representing a 25% premium over the issue price of ₹66. Before the listing, the company’s shares were trading at an 8% premium to the issue price in the grey market.
The bidding for the ₹8.41-crore public offer started on August 30 and ended on September 3, and received bids for over ₹1,000 crore. Both the retail and non-retail segments of the IPO were oversubscribed by more than 100 times, which is emblematic of the recent craze around SME IPOs.
Last month, Resourceful Automobile, which runs two Yamaha showrooms in Delhi and employs only eight people, received bids over 400 times the shares on offer in its SME IPO.
