GMP
If we talk about the GMP (Grey Market Premium), Vodafone Idea Limited’s follow-on public offer has a GMP of approximately around 13%, meaning the premium is currently around ₹1.5 per share. This suggests that the listing price could be around ₹12.5 based on this GMP. However, the GMP tends to fluctuate until the time of listing.
IPO Vs. FPO
An IPO (Initial Public Offering) is when a private company decides to become publicly traded by selling its shares to the public for the first time. Conversely, an FPO (Follow-on Public Offering) happens when a company that’s already listed on the stock exchange decides to issue more shares to the public, typically to raise funds for growth or other financial purposes. Essentially, an IPO is the initial step for a company entering the stock market, while an FPO occurs after a company is already established as a publicly traded entity.

The Promoters of the company are Kumar Mangalam Birla, Hindalco Industries Limited, Grasim Industries Limited, Birla TMT Holdings Private Limited, Vodafone International Holdings B.V., Al-Amin Investments Limited, Asian Telecommunication Investments (Mauritius) Limited, CCII (Mauritius), Inc., Euro Pacific Securities Ltd, Vodafone Telecommunications (India) Limited, Mobilvest, Prime Metals Ltd, Trans Crystal Ltd, Omega Telecom Holdings Private Limited and Usha Martin Telematics Limited.
