Shadowfax Technologies IPO GMP: What It Signals for Listing
Shadowfax Technologies’ unlisted shares are currently trading at around Rs 134 in the grey market, reflecting a premium of about 8.06 per cent over the IPO’s upper price band of Rs 124, according to market observers. This suggests that investors may see modest listing gains when the stock debuts on January 28, 2026. The allotment of shares is expected to be finalised on January 23, 2026.
It is important to note that the grey market premium (GMP) is driven purely by market sentiment and can change frequently. GMP indicates how much extra investors are willing to pay over the issue price before the stock officially lists.
How Shadowfax Plans to Use IPO Funds
Shadowfax Technologies intends to use the money raised from the fresh issue primarily to strengthen and expand its logistics network. Of the total proceeds, around Rs 423 crore will be spent on capital expenditure for building network infrastructure, while Rs 138.6 crore is earmarked for lease payments for new first-mile, last-mile and sortation centres. The company also plans to invest about Rs 88.6 crore in branding and marketing, with the remaining funds set aside for inorganic growth opportunities and general corporate needs.
The company has chosen the confidential pre-filing route for its IPO, a process that allows key details in the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to remain private until a later stage. This approach is becoming increasingly popular among Indian companies as it offers greater flexibility and room to fine-tune IPO plans before going public.
