# Shankesh Jewellers IPO fully subscribed, grey market signals 5% premium 2026-08-20T05:41:13+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets (4 source reports) Shankesh Jewellers Ltd initial public offering has been fully subscribed on its third and final day, with the grey market signalling a premium of Rs 5 per share. The public issue, which opened on 18 August 2026 and closes today, has received a subscription of 1.42 times overall by day two, according to Livemint. Shares are priced within a band of Rs 88 to Rs 93. Market observers told Livemint that the grey market premium stands at Rs 5, implying a listing price of about Rs 98 per share and a potential 5 per cent gain for investors. Master Capital Services has recommended a 'buy' rating, citing the company's market position and growth plans. The IPO is set to list on BSE and NSE, with the most likely allotment date being 21 August 2026 and listing on 25 August 2026. In a separate jewellery IPO covered by Livemint, Lalithaa Jewellery Mart's public issue was subscribed 63 times, with its grey market premium rising from Rs 40 to Rs 55, indicating stronger investor demand compared to Shankesh Jewellers. ## Indian Opinion Analysis SOURCE-1 and SOURCE-2 are near-identical NDTV Profit briefs focused solely on Shankesh Jewellers' IPO, presenting a neutral-report stance by reporting the grey market premium (GMP) and subscription data without extra context. SOURCE-3 (Livemint) provides a more comprehensive coverage of the same Shankesh Jewellers IPO, including brokerage reviews and future dates, but treats the IPO as an investor guide, leaning neutral-report with a slight promotional tilt by highlighting 'strong gains'. SOURCE-4 (Livemint) covers a different IPO, Lalithaa Jewellery Mart, which distracts from the primary story but offers a useful contrast: its 63-times subscription and higher GMP of Rs 55 underscore the modest 5 per cent GMP for Shankesh Jewellers, suggesting the latter's issue is less hyped. The key takeaway is that Shankesh Jewellers IPO is fully subscribed but not over-subscribed dramatically, and its listing at Rs 98, if realized, will be a modest gain. Investors should watch the allotment on 21 August 2026 and listing on 25 August 2026 for the actual listing price. ## Coverage Coverage: 4 sources, 1 right-leaning, 3 neutral - ndtvprofit.com (neutral report) Brief, data-only report of GMP and subscription, no editorial context. - ndtvprofit.com (2) (neutral report) - livemint.com (right leaning) Detailed coverage with brokerage 'buy' review, frames IPO positively as 'strong gains'. - livemint.com (2) (neutral report) Covers a different IPO (Lalithaa Jewellery Mart) but reports data neutrally.
