The stock opened in line with expectations after the grey market premium stayed at ₹0 ahead of listing, pointing to a flat start.

Early trade showed limited movement in the counter. The stock touched a high of ₹48.05 and a low of ₹47.30, while about 4.47 lakh shares changed hands. The narrow trading band suggested that buying interest remained measured after listing. The stock also traded near ₹47.31 soon after its debut, which kept the premium over the issue price below 1%.

Elfin Agro India IPO sees moderate subscription demand

Elfin Agro India launched its SME IPO as a fixed-price issue at ₹47 per share. The issue opened for subscription on March 5 and closed on March 9. The allotment was finalised on March 10, while the shares were listed on March 12. The public issue comprised a fresh issue of 53.25 lakh equity shares and had no offer-for-sale component.
