The IPO of Orkla India, parent to brands like MTR and Eastern, opened on 29 October 2025, closing on 31 October 2025, and is set to list on the markets around 6 November 2025. With a price band of ₹695-₹730 per share, it generated significant investor attention and high subscription numbers. Ahead of listing, the grey-market premium (GMP) also indicated listing gains. In this blog we’ll break down what these numbers mean for investors, how to interpret the listing outcome, and whether Orkla India is worth your attention.

Orkla India’s IPO performance in the primary market was very strong: broad-based subscription across categories and clear investor interest in the FMCG space. That sets a positive tone for the listing.
As of close of bidding, GMP reached levels in the range of ₹70-₹100+ above upper band. mint+1
Based on an upper band of ₹730, residual GMP gave estimated listing price anywhere between ₹800-₹825 per share. mint+1
GMP is an unofficial gauge of demand and expected listing gains — but it’s not guaranteed.
A positive GMP suggests market optimism. However, IPOs also depend on market conditions at listing day, allotment details, and post-listing demand. Use GMP as a data point, not a certainty.
While the listing date is approaching, analysts estimate listing premium of ~10 % based on GMP trends. That suggests an expected listing price near ₹800 if issue price is ₹730.
For investors, the key will be:
Did the share list at premium?
What is the early performance (open, high, close)?
How much of premium is retained vs. early flip trades?
Once live data is available, that will tell more about investor sentiment and timing of trades.
Strong brand portfolio: MTR, Eastern, Rasoi Magic — deep domestic penetration.
Being entirely an OFS: existing promoters are selling; company won’t raise fresh capital — implies no dilution of equity.
Positioned in a growth segment: India’s packaged food market is growing strongly, supported by changing consumption patterns. The Financial Express
IPO valuation: Even with strong brands, valuations at upper band require investor confidence in long-term growth. Some analysts flagged pricing pressure. Business Standard
Timing of listing: Market conditions matter. IPOs listing during weak market phases may see limited gains.
Supply-chain, margin pressures: FMCG is steady but not immune to input cost inflation or competition.
Verify the subscription details and allotment outcomes. Oversubscription demonstrates demand.
Research the company’s numbers: revenue growth, margins, promoter holdings, market share.
If you plan to hold: focus on long-term story of brand expansion and margin improvement.
If you plan for listing flip: ensure your exit strategy and size your position accordingly — listing gains, if moderate, still require careful timing.
Use risk control: don’t assume large listing pop just because the IPO was strongly subscribed or GMP was high.
Q1. What is Orkla India share price today?
Since listing is upcoming, only estimated price ranges based on GMP are available — e.g., GMP ₹70–₹95 above ₹730 upper band.
Q2. What was the subscription status?
Final numbers: ~48.73× overall. Retail portion ~7× in last reports.
Q3. What does a high GMP mean for listing?
High GMP indicates higher demand in grey market, likely listing premium. But not a guarantee — listing day behaviour and broader market matter.
Q4. Should I apply for Orkla IPO?
If your view is long-term (brand, growth) and you’re comfortable with pricing, yes. If you expect large listing flip gains, check latest data and risk tolerance.
Q5. When will Orkla list on exchanges?
As per RHP, tentative listing date is 6 November 2025 on both NSE & BSE.
Orkla India’s IPO is positioned strongly: solid brand, growth segment, strong subscription. The expectation of listing premium is supported by GMP trends.
However, investors should align expectations with valuation, market timing and personal risk profile. Use this IPO as an opportunity — but not assume instant large gains. Holding with a long-term view may deliver better value.
Apply only after you’re comfortable with allotment risk, listing strategy and post-listing horizon.
