Park Medi World & Nephrocare Make Muted–Mixed Debut; Healthcare Listings, SME Buzz Drive IPO Action on 17 Dec
Indian primary market action on 17 December 2025 was dominated by twin healthcare listings and selective interest shifting towards SME counters.
Park Medi World IPO in Focus as GMP & Subscription Stay in Spotlight
Park Medi World IPO, a ₹920 crore mainboard issue in the healthcare services space, got listed today on NSE and BSE after earlier attracting healthy subscription across institutional and HNI categories.[web:28][web:34] The IPO was priced at ₹162 per share within a ₹154–₹162 price band, but the stock debuted below the issue price, opening near ₹158 on NSE and around ₹155.60 on BSE, implying roughly 2–4% discount versus the IPO price despite a steady grey market premium in the run‑up.[web:28][web:31][web:34][web:37] Listing day trade saw the stock slip further intraday, with investors now closely watching whether value buying emerges after the weaker‑than‑expected debut even as the company’s post‑issue market cap approaches the ₹7,000 crore mark.[web:28][web:31][web:34]
Park Medi World’s listing below the issue price, despite decent subscription, underlines how quickly sentiment can shift when valuations are rich and broader market cues turn cautious.[web:28][web:31][web:37]
Allotment / SME / Upcoming IPO Update
- Nephrocare Health IPO, another healthcare‑focused mainboard offering worth about ₹871 crore with a ₹438–₹460 price band, also listed today, 17 December 2025, on NSE and BSE after allotment finalisation on 15 December and refund/credit on 16 December.[web:26][web:29][web:32][web:35] Early indications point to a relatively better debut for Nephrocare compared with Park Medi World, supported by strong anchor participation and a more moderate valuation profile within the sector.[web:32][web:35][web:38]
- Park Medi World IPO investors who did not receive shares in the allotment can now only participate via secondary market, while those allotted are assessing whether to hold through initial volatility or book losses/partial profits after the discount listing.[web:28][web:31][web:34][web:37]
- SME IPO trackers highlight active interest in December SME names, with multiple issues on the SME calendar and several healthcare, industrial and consumption‑themed SME offers seeing robust oversubscription and firm grey market quotes ahead of their listings.[web:30][web:33][web:39]
