Devyani International IPO Grey market Premium :

As per market observers, Devyani International grey market premium (GMP) was at around ₹40-45

Should you invest:

The company is one of the leading QSR player with highly recognized global brands. With more and more people ordering food or visiting restaurants, the growth in future seems promising. However, currently the company has net loss in last couple of years due to high advertisement cost, royalty fees and commissions.

The story is similar to other consumption companies like Zomato, Westlife (McDonalds, Burger King etc) which are in losses but investors are betting in long term growth.

With current euphoria in stock market and IPO listings, it is expected that this IPO will also see considerable interest. You can consider to invest in this IPO for listing gains.
