IPOs open now

Issues that were open for subscription during the 25 September session, including nine whose books closed that day. Grey market premium as at 27 Sep 2026, 8:00 AM IST (IPO Ji) — the first snapshot after the session, with no trading day in between. Subscription multiples are the cumulative figures carried by IPO Ji on 27 September; as no bidding has taken place since the 25 September close, they are the end-of-session position (Adroit Industries, Elevate Campuses and Swastika Infra reconcile with Business Today, Chittorgarh's 6:52 PM final and HDFC Sky respectively).

Final day to bid on 28 Sep: A-One Steels India, Moneyview, Roopa Screen, Peshwa Wheat and Green Asia Impex.

Grey market premium is an unofficial, unregulated and unverifiable indication of sentiment traded outside the exchanges. It is not a price, not a forecast, and carries no regulatory standing — it is published here for context only. GMP figures are taken in full from a single time-stamped tracker and are not blended across sources. A blank cell means the figure was not sourced for this edition, not that it is zero. Nine issues closed on the session itself — Adroit Industries (India), Swastika Infra, ArMee Infotech and Elevate Campuses on the mainboard, and Liqvd Digital India, Unitec Fibres, Pooja Logistics, Coreintegra Consulting Services and S.K. Offset on the SME platforms. Axiom Gas Engineering, which closed on 22 September, listed on the NSE SME platform on 25 September at ₹54.75, a 1.39% premium to its ₹54 issue price.

Economic calendar

Data releases and policy events in the days ahead

Commodities, currency & global

US index cards show the Wall Street session of the same calendar day, Friday 25 September 2026, which closed after Indian hours (AP wire); all three levels reconcile against AP's 24 September closes. Gold is an Indian retail reference rate and varies materially by city and by aggregator — the 24K quote is a national reference rate and the 22K quote is for Delhi, both from a single source (StartupTalky). Silver is omitted this edition because aggregator quotes for the day were more than ₹10,000 per kg apart. Brent is the 25 September settlement as reported by AP.
