The Priority Jewels IPO has entered its third and final day of bidding, with investors showing strong appetite for the issue. While subscription numbers have already painted a positive picture, the grey market is adding further optimism, with the IPO currently commanding a grey market premium (GMP) of 23%.
If the current GMP trend holds, investors could see a potentially healthy listing gain when the shares make their debut.
The IPO witnessed robust demand on the second day of bidding, with the overall issue subscribed 21.23 times against the 33.02 lakh shares on offer. Retail investors were particularly aggressive, with their portion subscribed 28.68 times.
The Rs 91.05 crore Priority Jewels IPO is entirely a fresh issue of 46 lakh shares. The price band is fixed at Rs 190–Rs 200 per share.
The IPO comes with a lot size of 75 shares, meaning retail investors must invest a minimum of Rs 15,000 at the upper end of the price band.
With the IPO entering its final day, investors will be closely watching whether the strong subscription momentum continues and whether the grey market premium holds.
The IPO opened for subscription on August 28, 2026, and bidding will close on September 1, 2026. The allotment is expected to be finalised on September 2, while the shares are likely to debut on both the NSE and BSE on September 4, 2026.
Mefcom Capital Markets Ltd. is the book-running lead manager for the issue, while MUFG Intime India Pvt. Ltd. is acting as the registrar.
Ahead of the IPO, Priority Jewels raised Rs 27.45 crore from anchor investors. According to the company’s filing with the stock exchanges, it allotted 13.72 lakh shares at Rs 200 per share to anchor investors.

Should you subscribe?
According to an Anand Rathi research report, Priority Jewels Ltd. is a jewellery manufacturer specialising in lightweight, affordable, diamond-studded gold and platinum jewellery. Its business model is primarily focused on backend manufacturing for leading jewellery retailers, similar to Sky Gold. The company’s long-standing relationships with major customers such as CaratLane, Kalyan Jewellers, Reliance Retail and Malabar Gold & Diamonds provide a strong foundation for future growth. Expansion into adjacent segments such as jewellery findings could further broaden its product portfolio.
At the upper end of the price band, the issue is valued at 20.5x FY26 P/E and 13.9x EV/EBITDA, implying a post-issue market capitalisation of Rs 3,600 million. This suggests that the IPO is fully priced at the current valuation.
The company, however, remains exposed to key risks, including fluctuations in gold prices, changing consumer preferences and intense competition in the jewellery manufacturing industry. Going forward, capacity expansion, balance-sheet deleveraging and diversification into silver jewellery, lab-grown diamond jewellery and high-end jewellery could provide additional growth opportunities.
Given its established customer base and positioning in the growing affordable and designer jewellery segment, the company appears well placed to benefit from rising demand. Anand Rathi has therefore assigned a “Subscribe for Long Term” rating to the issue.
