While GMP is purely indicative, it suggests moderate listing premium potential.
Strengths
✅ Diverse and growing nutraceutical portfolio
✅ Significant revenue and PAT growth
✅ Reasonable valuation vs. sector peers
✅ High ROE and ROCE
Concerns
⚠️ High retail ticket size (₹2.83 lakh minimum) limits accessibility
⚠️ OFS component indicates partial promoter exit
⚠️ Early-stage promoter experience (<10 years)
⚠️ SME IPO segment is generally riskier, with low liquidity
GMP Insights
GMP ₹22 suggests ~8.87% listing upside over upper band (₹248).
While modest, it indicates some appetite in grey market, but not red-hot demand.
Recommendation
✅ For Risk-Tolerant Investors: "APPLY for listing gain" — fair valuation and healthy growth story.
❌ For Conservative Investors: Avoid due to high ticket size, SME liquidity risk, and moderate GMP.
Investor Type | Recommendation |
---|---|
Short-term traders | ⚠️ Apply cautiously (GMP-backed gain) |
Long-term investors | ✅ Reasonable valuation; potential hold |
Risk-averse investors | ❌ Avoid due to SME risk profile |
Final Verdict
Chemkart India IPO is a fairly valued growth play in the nutraceutical space. With healthy financials and ~9–12x P/E, it's better priced than many SME peers.
But retail investors must be mindful of:
-
Large minimum investment requirement
-
SME platform’s liquidity challenges
-
Only modest GMP upside
