Monday, 26 October 2026, is one of the busiest days of the current IPO season.

In the grey market, Jio's premium is holding steady at around 22%, while BLS Polymers leads the upcoming issues with a premium of 22-25% ahead of its 27 October opening.
Important note: Grey market premiums (GMP) are unofficial, market-reported figures. They are not approved by SEBI, they change through the day, and they do not guarantee listing gains. Treat them as a sentiment gauge only.

FAQs
What is Jio IPO GMP today?
Jio Platforms' grey market premium on 26 October 2026 is Rs.246-251, about 22% over the Rs.1,119 issue price, implying an estimated listing price of around Rs.1,365-1,370. This is unofficial and subject to change.
When is Jio IPO allotment and listing?
Allotment is finalised today, 26 October 2026. Refunds and demat credits happen on 27 October, and the shares list on BSE and NSE on 28 October 2026.
Which IPO opens today, 26 October 2026?
EAAA India Alternatives (Rs.1,585-1,665, lot 9) opens today and closes on 28 October. It is the only mainboard IPO opening today.
Which upcoming IPO has the highest GMP?
BLS Polymers leads the upcoming issues with a GMP of Rs.33-38 (22-25%) ahead of its 27 October opening, followed by SFC Environmental at Rs.21-32.
Is GMP a reliable predictor of listing gains?
Not fully. GMP reflects informal grey-market sentiment, not exchange trading. It has pointed the right way for many IPOs but has also missed badly. Use it alongside subscription data, fundamentals and valuation.
Conclusion
Today's session is dominated by Jio's allotment — the premium's rock-steady 22% suggests a strong but not euphoric listing on Wednesday. EAAA's opening is the one to watch: its anchor book was priced at the top of the band, but the grey market is deeply divided on it, so early subscription numbers will matter more than today's GMP chatter. Among tomorrow's openings, BLS Polymers is the clear grey-market favourite. Check back at 1 PM for the subscription update, and remember: GMP is unofficial sentiment, not a promise.
