Allotment and Refund Process
The allotment process involves determining the number of shares allocated to investors based on the demand and availability. For those who do not receive shares, the refund process will begin today, November 20, ensuring a quick return of funds. Meanwhile, investors who have been allotted shares will see them credited to their demat accounts today itself. The allocated shares will be available for trading when the company lists on the stock exchanges on November 21.

Grey Market Premium (GMP)
The Zinka Logistics Solution IPO has recorded a grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 0 as of today. This indicates that the shares are trading at their issue price of Rs 273 without any premium or discount in the grey market. A GMP typically reflects investor sentiment and speculative demand for an IPO ahead of its listing. While the absence of a premium might suggest neutral expectations, it does not necessarily determine the stock’s listing performance.

IPO Details and Market Expectations
Zinka Logistics Solution’s IPO aimed to raise capital to fuel its expansion plans, leveraging its logistics infrastructure and tech-driven solutions. The company attracted a diverse investor base, with strong backing from institutional players.

As the IPO listing date approaches, market experts remain cautiously optimistic. The subscription figures, coupled with the neutral GMP, indicate that the stock’s debut could largely depend on broader market sentiment and post-allotment investor behaviour. Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone, remarked that the IPO market often sees significant “buy-on-strength” movements during listings, which could influence Zinka Logistics Solution’s stock performance.
