On October 4, 2024, Diffusion Engineers made its market debut with a share price of Rs 193.50 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), indicating a significant 15% gain for investors. The initial public offering (IPO) was priced at Rs 168 per share, raising a total of Rs 158 crore from the stake sale process.

IPO Details

The bidding for Diffusion Engineers' IPO opened on September 26 and closed on September 30. The substantial dilution saw the retail investor segment oversubscribed by 85 times, while the non-institutional investor category was oversubscribed by an impressive 207 times.

Impact of Grey Market Premium
