Bajaj Housing Finance IPO GMP
The grey market premium for Bajaj Housing Finance surged to around Rs 72 in the unlisted market on Thursday, reflecting a premium of over 100 per cent due to strong demand for the company’s shares, according to websites that track grey market activity.
The company aims to utilize net proceeds from the issue to strengthen the company’s capital base to meet future capital needs. The IPO comes after the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) directive that mandates that upper-layer non-banking housing finance companies must be listed on stock exchanges by September 2025.
