Century Business Media IPO is an SME issue currently open for public subscription until 16 September 2026, listing on BSE. The issue price band is fixed at ₹70–₹74 per equity share with a minimum market lot size of 1600 shares, bringing the total issue size to ₹17.11 Cr. At the upper price band, the minimum retail application requires one lot amounting to ₹1,18,400.
No meaningful grey market premium is actively quoted for Century Business Media IPO at this stage. For an SME issue early in its subscription window, this is standard until anchor book allocations and institutional bids build volume. A missing premium is not negative sentiment; it reflects lower off-market liquidity. Read our complete guide to IPO GMP mechanics.
