Post-IPO stocks often see sharp swings in the days after listing, driven by factors such as limited share float, profit-taking by early investors and shifts in broader market sentiment.
"Large pops and drops show an elevated level of short-term money trading around IPOs, be it hedge funds or retail. This has been a feature of the market in recent months," said Samuel Kerr, head of equity capital markets at Mergermarket.
"The fact the stock is still well above the IPO price, despite a drop in premarket trading today and that should hopefully point to a solid cohort of institutional investors serving as a bed-rock for the stock in its early days of trading," Kerr said.

Defence production hits record Rs 1.5 lakh crore, private firms' share up
Indian defence production has crossed the ₹1.5 lakh crore mark, with private companies increasing their share in production and export of military systems, defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Saturday. Lauding the collective effort that led to an all-time high figure of defence production worth ₹1,50,590 crore, Singh said that the milestone is a clear indicator of India's strengthening defence industrial base. Officials said that in the 2024-25 FY, there has been an 18% growth over the previous fiscal's output of ₹1.27 lakh crore, and a 90% increase since FY 2019-20, when the figure was ₹79,071 crore. The numbers have been achieved as the government has gone on overdrive to promote Indian companies to enter the sector and has initiated programs like Emergency Procurement (EPs) that have given orders to a large number of startups and smaller companies as well. Defence Public Sector Undertakings (DPSUs) and other PSUs accounted for around 77% of total production, while the private sector contributed 23%. The share of the private sector has been steadily rising, from 21% in FY 2023-24 to 23% in FY 2024-25, and is expected to go up exponentially in the coming years as several big projects have been opened up to competitive bidding. Dozens of companies, from backgrounds as diverse as automobile component manufacturing to civil works have entered the defence manufacturing sector as opportunities grow.

There has been a surge in defence exports as well, with the figure growing to ₹23,622 crore in FY 2024-25, a 12% growth over the previous year. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Passenger wins ₹1.5 lakh in compensation after unhygienic seat on Indigo flight
The Delhi consumer forum has found Indigo Airlines guilty of deficiency in service for allotting an unhygienic and stained seat to a woman passenger, ordering the airline to pay ₹1.5 lakh as compensation for the discomfort, pain, and mental distress caused. The New Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission — comprising president Poonam Chaudhry and members Bariq Ahmed and Shekhar Chandra — heard the case filed by Pinki, who claimed she was given an 'unhygienic, dirty and stained' seat while travelling from Baku to New Delhi on January 2 this year.

In response, Indigo said it had addressed the problem by assigning her a different seat, which she accepted and used to complete her journey to New Delhi. However, in its order dated July 9, recently made public, the forum stated, 'We hold that the opposite party (Indigo) was guilty of deficiency in service.' Live Events 'As regards the discomfort and pain, mental agony suffered by her, we are of the view that she must be compensated. We accordingly direct the opposite party to pay Rs 1.5 lakh as compensation for mental agony, physical pain and harassment to her,' it added. The commission also instructed the airline to pay ₹25,000 towards litigation costs. In its observations, the forum noted that Indigo had failed to produce the Situation Data Display (SDD) report, a part of its internal operational records maintained under standard aviation protocols. 'There is no reference to this report in the written statement or in the evidence filed by the opposite party. The SDD is a crucial document used for flight operation monitoring and to record passenger-related incidents. The absence of this document significantly weakens the opposite party's defence,' the order said. [With PTI inputs]

Delhi govt to probe financial irregularities in Chandni Chowk redevelopment project
The Delhi government is likely to initiate an inquiry into the Chandni Chowk Redevelopment Project after internal findings pointed out alleged " financial irregularities " and cost overruns , officials said on Friday. The 1.3-kilometre stretch redeveloped, inaugurated in 2021 by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saw its project cost swell from an initial estimate of Rs 65.6 crore to Rs 145 crore.

But PWD continued spending beyond the sanctioned Rs 99.68 crore without obtaining the mandatory revised approval," officials said. To avoid cabinet scrutiny, PWD is alleged to have submitted only an additional preliminary estimate of Rs 40 crore, rather than a revised estimate of Rs 145 crore as required for projects exceeding Rs 100 crore, added. Live Events As per the PWD's internal report, "it has also been found that the project was executed through the same contractor without issuing fresh tenders, a direct violation of procurement norms". The report further reveals that over Rs 70 crore -- of the total Rs 145.72 crore spent -- was used for extra items and deviations not part of the original scope. In total, irregularities concerning deviations and unapproved expenditures amounted to more than Rs 370 crore across various components of the project. Another significant violation involved the diversion of Rs 30 crore from the PWD maintenance head to the Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation (SRDC) without mandatory concurrence from the finance department. "Then engineer-in-chief directly submitted the file to the minister-in-charge, bypassing both the secretary in charge and the finance department -- a serious breach of rules and regulations," an official said. These lapses point to deep-rooted deficiencies in planning, estimation, and financial project is being described by officials as a case study in fiscal mismanagement. "The Chandni Chowk Redevelopment Project stands as a textbook case of how public money can be mishandled when rules are bent and procedures bypassed. In 2019, under the then Minister-in-Charge, costs spiralled, tenders were ignored, and crores were diverted -- all without mandatory approvals. Delhi deserves better," PWD minister Parvesh Verma said. "Under my watch, PWD will not be a playground for irregularities but a fortress of transparency and accountability, where every paisa serves the people -- not personal interests," Verma added. Responding to the allegations, AAP said in statement, "The people of Delhi know very well that for the last 10 years, vigilance and the ACB were under the BJP's LG, and it was the LG's duty to ensure that corrupt officers were punished. It was the BJP's LG who was appointing officers to various positions. Opening enquiries into old cases only shows the incompetence of their LG."
