M.K. Sons Fine Jewels IPO Opens
M.K. Sons Fine Jewels has launched its initial public offering, sized at Rs 275.40 crore, with the subscription window open from October 28 to October 30. The issue is split between a fresh issue of Rs 220.32 crore and an offer for sale of Rs 55.08 crore. Shares are tentatively set to list on both the BSE and NSE on November 4, with allotment expected on November 2. The grey market premium stands at roughly 6%, pointing to modest expectations for listing gains.

The allotment date of November 2 and listing on November 4 are the immediate milestones, and any deviation from the tentative schedule would be worth noting. Readers should also track the final issue price discovery and whether the grey market premium holds, narrows or turns negative before listing. Post-listing, disclosures on utilisation of fresh issue proceeds, shareholding pattern changes and any lock-in expiry for promoter or anchor holdings will be the ke…
