Understanding IPO Grey Market Premium (GMP)
The IPO Grey Market Premium is an unofficial market where IPO shares are bought and sold before their official listing on stock exchanges. The premium indicates the demand for an IPO in the unofficial market.
How GMP Works
When an IPO is announced, traders in the grey market start trading the shares even before the official listing. The difference between the issue price and grey market price is called the Grey Market Premium (GMP).
Kostak and Subject to Sauda
Kostak: This is the rate at which IPO application forms are traded in the grey market. If you have applied for an IPO, you can sell your application at the kostak rate.
Subject to Sauda: This indicates whether grey market trading is active for a particular IPO. "Yes" means grey market trading is happening, while "No" means there is limited or no trading.

- Always conduct thorough research before investing in any IPO
- Consider company fundamentals, financials, and long-term prospects
