So, let us understand this with the help of an example
Example of Grey Market Premium
Here, we will take two different situations.
- Suppose the issue price of Reliance Nippon is Rs.250. Grey market premium of Reliance Nippon is Rs.50. In the given situation, the premium is positive. Because of a positive premium, the buyers are ready to purchase the shares of Reliance Nippon at Rs. 250 + Rs. 50 = Rs. 300
- Suppose, in this situation the grey market premium of Reliance Nippon is Rs. -20. The issue price is Rs. 250. Since the grey market premium here is negative, it means that the sellers are ready to sell the shares at a discount of Rs. 20 i.e. Rs. 250 – Rs. 20 = Rs. 230

The fluctuation in the premium keeps on happening. Until the shares are listed for trading on the exchange, action in the grey market premium price continues. In addition, an investor can also take the delivery of shares by purchasing the shares of the IPO company on a listing day.

IPO Allotment Tips
Why do IPOs trade in the grey market before listing?
Firstly, I would like to tell you that the grey market is not an official platform where interested traders can bid and offer shares of the forthcoming IPO.
What are Kostak rates?
A kostak rate is an amount in which one pays for the IPO before the IPO is actually listed on the stock market.
It is a premium one gets by selling the IPO in the grey market.
It is a colloquial word for the prices of an application before the actual issue or the allotment.
Minor difference between Kostak and GMP.
- The rate at which one gets premium by selling his/her shares which are allotted in IPO application in the grey market is called Kostak.
- The premium which is generated in this Grey market by this trading is called GMP (Grey Market Premium). GMP is useful to estimate the opening price of the IPO while listing.

What is Subject to Sauda?
If someone buys an IPO on the subject to sauda price this means they will get the said amount In this one cannot fix their profit as it depends on the allotment. Again if one gets an allotment and he or she sold the application around Rs.10000 and the profit goes high on listing day around Rs.15000 then one should pay Rs.5000 to the guy who bought the application.
In simpler words, it is a kind of deal in the IPO grey market in India. Unofficially, an investor can sell an IPO Application to a buyer at an agreed price (Kostak Rate) before IPO Shares are listed in the stock market. If the seller gets an allotment, he will get Rs 5000.

How can investors make the best of the grey market?

At best, one can consider the grey market price as an indicator of the listing price. It is advised that do not take the (GMP) grey market too seriously, as such a grey market are subject to the manipulation.

Frequently Asked Question

Q Who decides the IPO grey market price
Just like the stock market and the commodity market trading, IPO grey market premium is decided on the basis of demand and supply.

Q How the grey market works?
Option 1 Trading IPO Allocated shares in the grey market
- Investor applies for shares through an IPO. There is financial risk involved with these as they may not get any allocated share or they may receive the shares that may list below the issue price.
- there are few other people in the market who believe that share value more than the issue price.
- Buyer contact the grey market dealers and place the order to buy the IPO share at a certain premium
- The grey market dealers contact the seller and ask them whether they are interested to sell their IPO shares
- the grey market dealer gets the application details from the seller and sends the notification to the buyer that he bought a certain premium at this time
- the allotment is done and the seller may or may not receive an allotment of shares
- If shares are allocated to the sold application, either seller may get a call from the dealer to sell them at a certain price or to transfer allocated shares to some Demat account.
- In the case of selling the shares, the settlement is done based on the profit or loss.
- If no shares are allocated to the sellers the deal is over without any settlement. The seller still gets his premium as he sold his application.
- Option 2: Kostak – Trading IPO Applications in Grey Market:
- Investor applies for the shares through an IPO. They take a financial risk as there is the likelihood that they may not get allocated any share or they receive the shares but shares may list below the issue price. Let’s call them ‘Sellers’.
- There are few other people in the market who think that the share values more than its issue price. They start collecting these shares through grey market dealers much before the shares are even allocated. Let’s call then ‘Buyers’.
- Buyers decide the price of the application based on various assumptions and market conditions. They give an offer to the sellers that they are willing to buy an IPO Application (without knowing how many shares will get allocated) at a certain premium.
- To avoid the risk of allocation sellers may sell their application at a certain premium to the buyer through a grey market dealer.
- This kind of trading calls application trading or ‘kostak’. In the case of ‘Kostak’ seller needs not to worry about the share allotment in IPO. He receives the allotment or not he will get the premium at which he sold his IPO allocation.
- Grey market dealer get the application detail from the seller and send a notification to the buyer that he bought an IPO application at a certain premium from the sellers in the grey market.
- The allotment is done by the issuing registrar. The application seller sold may or may not receive an allotment of shares.
- If shares are allocated to the sold application, either seller may get a call from the dealer to sell them at a certain price or to transfer allocated shares to some Demat account.
- In the case of selling the shares, the settlement is done based on the profit or loss.
- If no shares are allocated to the sellers the deal is terminated without any settlement. The seller still receives his premium as he sold his application.
