Should you buy, sell or hold Orkla India shares after listing?

Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said that the strong response to Orkla India IPO underscores confidence in the company’s fundamentals and its ability to capitalise on the growing demand for convenience foods across key geographies.

“So, allotted investors are advised to hold Orkla India shares from a long-term investment perspective, while being mindful of inherent market risks. For non-allotted investors, we suggest a ‘Wait and Watch’ approach to evaluate any post-listing correction as a potential entry opportunity,” said Tapse.

Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart, noted that Orkla India’s financials show steady revenue growth and improving profitability, supported by operational efficiencies, brand strength, and expanding distribution through modern retail, e-commerce, and HoReCa channels.

“Investors who received allotment may consider booking partial profits after the decent debut, while holding the remaining allocation for the medium-to-long term as the company benefits from increasing consumer preference toward branded packaged foods. A stop-loss may be placed at ₹650,” Nyati recommended.

Orkla India IPO price band was set at ₹695 to ₹730 per share. The company raised ₹1,667.54 crore from the book-build issue, which was entirely an offer-for-sale (OFS) of 2.28 crore equity shares. Orkla India IPO was subscribed 48.73 times in total.
