Millworks Technologies' SME IPO opens with a 120% grey market premium, signaling strong demand for small-cap new issues in the primary market.
Millworks Technologies' SME IPO opened for subscription Tuesday with a grey market premium of 120%, signaling strong demand for small-cap new issues. The company, which provides engineering and fabrication services, is looking to raise roughly ₹18 crore through the offering.
The 120% GMP implies a listing price well above the issue band of ₹82 to ₹86 per share. That kind of premium has become more common in the SME segment over the past six months, as retail and HNI participation has pushed subscription rates higher across multiple offerings.
For the broader market, the read-through is less about Millworks specifically and more about the liquidity chasing smaller floats. When an SME IPO commands a triple-digit GMP before the books even open, it suggests the primary market is still absorbing risk at the smaller end of the cap spectrum. That dynamic tends to hold until a string of weak listings cools the appetite.
Millworks' IPO runs through Friday. The company plans to use the proceeds for working capital and machinery purchases.
