What to watch
- Final-day subscription crossing 1x, 2x and higher thresholds, with separate QIB, NII and retail participation.
- Movement in GMP from Rs 30 before allotment and listing.
- Gold-price volatility, which can affect consumer ticket sizes, inventory funding needs and jewellery-sector sentiment.
- Any disclosed anchor-book quality, peer valuation comparison or revised analyst views on the Rs 201 issue-price band.
- Listing-day opening price, traded volume and whether the stock sustains levels above the implied Rs 231 price.
- Monitor category-wise final subscription, especially QIB demand, as the clearest validation of the grey-market premium.
- Compare the implied listing valuation with listed jewellery peers on revenue growth, store productivity, margin profile and inventory intensity.
- Prepare for elevated first-week trading volatility because unofficial GMP sentiment can reverse quickly before allotment and listing.
- Track whether the company directs IPO proceeds toward store expansion, debt reduction or working capital, since jewellery retail returns depend heavily on inventory turns and new-store ramp-up.
