🌍 Gold Rate: India vs UAE

🔥 What is IPO GMP?

Grey Market Premium (GMP) is the unofficial price at which IPO shares trade before the official listing on NSE/BSE.

Example: IPO price = ₹300, GMP = +₹60 → Expected listing ≈ ₹360 (+20%)

GMP is not guaranteed — it reflects market sentiment. High GMP = high demand but doesn't guarantee listing gains.
