Godavari Biorefineries Ltd. had a lackluster debut on the stock exchanges, listing at a substantial discount to its issue price. The company’s shares were listed at ₹308 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), reflecting a 12.5% discount from its issue price of ₹352 per share.
Market Reaction and Investor Sentiment
The market reaction to the listing was notably negative. “The listing at such a discount was unexpected and disappointing for many investors,” said a market analyst. The initial public offering (IPO) had included a fresh equity sale worth ₹325 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of up to 6.53 million shares.
