Market observers note that unofficial grey market indicators reflect prevailing sentiment without guaranteeing actual listing performance.
This ₹1,200-crore offer involves about 72.07 lakh existing shares being sold by promoter Edelweiss Securities & Investments. It is an offer for sale, so proceeds go to the selling shareholder rather than financing the issuer’s operations.
