These stocks showcased investor confidence, with listing premiums ranging from 17% to 147%.
Mamata Machinery stood out with an exceptional performance, debuting at Rs 600, which represented a 147% premium over its IPO price of Rs 243. This remarkable listing was the highest among the group. DAM Capital Advisors followed, debuting on the NSE at Rs 393, a 38.87% premium, and on the BSE at Rs 392.90, a 38.83% premium over its IPO price of Rs 283. These gains aligned with market expectations, as grey market premiums (GMP) and expert predictions had forecast a premium range of 40% to 50%.
Transrail Lighting also performed strongly, listing at Rs 585.15 on the BSE and Rs 590 on the NSE, delivering a listing gain of around 36%.

On the NSE, the stock opened at Rs 826, reflecting a 17.83% premium.
These IPO performances have attracted substantial interest from primary market investors. However, analysts caution investors to be prudent, as the high valuations of these stocks could pose risks in the long term.
On the broader market, the Sensex and Nifty also advanced, closing 0.3% higher on Friday, after climbing up to 0.8% during intraday trading. This broader market stability further underscored the robust sentiment driving the stock market, even amid selective high valuations.
