Earlier, market experts and analysts were of the view that shares of Vedant Fashions would be listed at a flat to discounted rates on the exchanges.   

"The company’s grey market share price is at par with the upper price band and the ongoing global scenarios will continue to impact the Indian market, and hence the shares are expected to list below the issue price, said Aayush Agrawal, Senior Analyst, Swastika Investmart Ltd.   

Likhita Chepa, Senior Research Analyst at CapitalVia Global Research, also had said that the IPO might not generate any listing gain on Wednesday.   

"We expect Vedant fashion to list at a discount of 8 to 10 percent, although its GMP is signaling at par listing. It's expensive valuation, impact on its revenue due to the pandemic and 100 percent OFS has already led to tepid response of the investors," highlighted Likhita Chepa.
