MUMBAI — The Indian primary market is buzzing once again. As the ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company (AMC) prepares for its stock market debut, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) is sending a clear signal: investors are in for a significant payday.
Early data from the grey market suggests that the ICICI Prudential AMC shares are trading at a healthy premium, indicating a potential 18% listing gain when the stock officially hits the exchanges on December 19, 2025. For the thousands of retail investors who applied for the issue, all eyes are now on the final allotment status.
A Landmark Debut for the AMC Sector
The ICICI Prudential AMC IPO, which saw overwhelming demand during its three-day bidding window, is being seen as a “litmus test” for the asset management sector in 2025. With a price band set between ₹2,061 and ₹2,165, the issue attracted massive interest from both institutional and retail segments.
Market analysts believe the “listing pop” is driven by the company’s strong AUM (Assets Under Management) growth and its position as one of India’s largest and most trusted fund houses.
What is the GMP Saying?
As of today, December 18, the Grey Market Premium (GMP) is hovering around the ₹380 – ₹400 mark. This implies that the shares are likely to list near ₹2,550, providing a neat profit for those lucky enough to get an allotment.
“The demand for ICICI AMC reflects the broader confidence in India’s financialization story,” says a senior market analyst. “While the secondary market has seen some volatility this week, the primary market (IPOs) remains the go-to destination for quick alpha.”

Expert Analysis: Is it a ‘Hold’ or ‘Sell’ on Day 1?
By the Breaking News Today Business Desk
The big question for tomorrow morning is whether to book profits or hold for the long term. While an 18% “listing pop” is tempting, ICICI Prudential AMC is a structural play on India’s mutual fund industry.
If the listing exceeds 20%, conservative investors might consider booking partial profits to cover their initial capital. However, long-term investors may find value in holding, as the AMC sector traditionally provides steady dividends and benefits from the rising SIP culture in India.
