Orkla India share price falls after muted listing

Orkla India made a subdued debut on the Indian stock market on November 6, 2025, with its shares listing on both the BSE and NSE. The stock opened at ₹751.50 on the BSE and ₹750.10 on the NSE, showing a modest premium of around 3% over the IPO issue price of ₹730. Post-listing, Orkla India’s share price touched a high of ₹755 and a low of ₹693.35 on the BSE.

The IPO, which ran from October 29 to 31, raised ₹1,667.54 crore through an offer-for-sale of 2.28 crore shares, with a price band of ₹695–₹730. Despite being subscribed 48.73 times, the listing was slightly below market expectations, as indicated by the 9% grey market premium before debut.

Market experts recommend that investors who received allotments hold their shares for the long term, given the company’s solid fundamentals and growth potential in the packaged food sector. Partial profit booking can be considered, with a suggested stop-loss at ₹650. New investors are advised to adopt a wait-and-watch approach to assess post-listing price movements.
