Conclusion

The grey market is signalling a positive debut for all five mainboard IPOs, which is going to open next week. However, the Dhoot Transmission IPO GMP is signalling the highest 28% listing premium, followed by Molbio Diagnostics IPO GMP (22% listing premium), Milky Mist IPO GMP (17% listing premium), Shiprocket IPO GMP (14% listing premium), and Behari Lal Engineering IPO GMP (11% listing premium).

However, it should be noted that the grey market premium (GMP) is not an ideal indicator of the likelihood of a successful IPO. This is because the grey market has no connection to the company's balance sheet. So, one should review the balance sheets of these companies before making any investment decision regarding these upcoming IPOs.
