Primary Market Action: Ardee Industries Lists; Shiprocket, Milky Mist Open
Ardee Industries Market Debut:
Ardee Industries marked a successful entry into public markets on August 12, 2026, delivering a strong 35.8% listing premium on the National Stock Exchange at ₹72 per share. The company, which specializes in recycling end-of-life energy storage, saw its ₹425.87 crore IPO subscribed 133.66 times, reflecting robust investor appetite despite a P/E multiple expansion to 26.80x.
Current IPO Subscription Trends:
Amid this momentum, Shiprocket and Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited are currently driving retail and institutional interest. Shiprocket, which commenced its ₹1,617.48 crore offering on August 12, 2026, shows potential for a 30% listing pop based on grey market premiums. Simultaneously, Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited has reached a 1.15 times subscription level by its second day, with a fixed price band between ₹133 and ₹140 per share.
Upcoming Industrial Opportunity:
Looking ahead, Horizon Industrial Parks Limited is preparing for its ₹2,600 crore IPO scheduled to open on August 17, 2026. This offering, designed primarily for debt reduction, will dilute the 89% stake held by Blackstone. These successive listings highlight a busy primary market, though investors remain cautious of valuation metrics and the broader economic headwinds impacting sentiment across the industrial and e-commerce sectors.
