Unimech Aerospace IPO Creates Buzz in Grey Market Ahead of Subscription Window Opening

The Unimech Aerospace And Manufacturing Ltd. Initial Public Offering (IPO) is creating a buzz even before its official subscription window opens next week.

Even before its official subscription window opens next week, the stock of Unimech Aerospace And Manufacturing Ltd.'s Initial Public Offering (IPO) has been drawing attention in the grey market.

On Friday, December 20, 2024, the stock was trading at a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 405 per share at 11:01 a.m., as observed on the InvestorGain platform.

But it’s crucial to remember that the GMP is speculative and not an official price quote.
