The grey market premium trend for Niva Bupa Health Insurance's initial public offering, which opens on Thursday, suggests a lukewarm response in the unlisted market. As of 05:03 a.m., the GMP was nil, indicating no expected listing gain. According to InvestorGain, the company's shares are expected to list at Rs 74, with no significant price movement anticipated.

Notably, GMP is not an official price quote for the stock and is based on speculation.

Niva Bupa Health Insurance's IPO has a price band set between Rs 70 and Rs 74 per share. Retail investors can participate in the offering by bidding for a minimum lot of 200 shares, which requires an investment of Rs 14,800.

The company aims to raise Rs 2,200 crore through this IPO, which includes a fresh issue of 10.81 crore shares worth Rs 800 crore and an offer for sale of 18.92 crore shares valued at Rs 1,400 crore.

The subscription window will remain open until Nov. 11, with shares slated to list on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange on Nov. 14.

The funds raised from the IPO will be used to strengthen the company's capital base, improve solvency levels, and fund general corporate purposes.
