Shares of Sudeep Pharma Limited began trading on the Indian stock exchanges today, marking a successful entry into the public markets. The company’s IPO, which was open for subscription from November 21 to 25, saw strong investor demand and was oversubscribed multiple times.
On listing day, the stock opened at ₹733.95 on the BSE and ₹730 on the NSE, representing a 23% premium to the issue price of ₹593. This performance exceeded market expectations, which had been guided by a grey market premium (GMP) of around 18–20%.
The IPO raised significant capital through a mix of fresh shares and an offer for sale, with allotments finalized on November 26. Ahead of listing, the company had also secured ₹268.5 crore from anchor investors, signaling strong institutional confidence.
Following the debut, the stock extended its rally, with analysts noting that the listing gains were in line with the robust GMP trends. Market experts are now debating whether investors should buy, hold, or book profits after the strong opening.

- Strong debut: A 23% premium signals healthy investor appetite.
