IPO Listing Time in India

IPO has created a buzz in the market for a long time now. A lot of investors and companies eagerly wait for the IPO listing to start trading and earn profits. Therefore it is important to note that the timings are a little different on the listing date of an IPO.

Although the share market timings are not hampered and stay the same, i.e from 9:15 AM- 3:30 PM. The IPOs get listed in the stock market at 10 AM and henceforth become available for trading in the secondary market.

The timings of the IPO listing are also divided into different segments. Let us have a look at these segments.

• 9 AM- 9:45 AM- During this time the opening price of a stock is determined. This is done through a process of price matching and the demand of the stock. Order cancellation and modification also happen during this time.
• 9:45- 9:55 AM- No modification or cancellation happen during this time. The pre-market session of the IPO listing closes at this time.
• 9:55 AM- 10 AM- This is the buffer period. The significance of this period is to transit smoothly from the listing phase to the transition phase.
• 10 AM- 3:30 PM- This is the normal trading session in which the shares are bought and sold in the secondary market.

 

So, these are the IPO listing time in which the IPOs are officially bought into the secondary market for the people to start trading.
