About Azad Engineering Limited
Incorporated in 1983, Azad Engineering Limited is a manufacturer of aerospace components and turbines. The company supplies its products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the aerospace, defense, energy, and oil and gas industries.
Azad Engineering's products are highly engineered, complex, mission-critical, and vital.
The grey market price (GMP) trading normally starts about 4-5 days prior to IPO opening and continues till the listing date. In the case of Azad Engineering Ltd, we already have GMP data for the last 4 days, which should give a reasonable picture of the likely listing price of the IPO.
There are 2 factors that impact the GMP. Firstly, the market conditions have a deep impact on the GMP, especially the liquidity conditions in the market. Secondly, the extent of subscription for the IPO has a deep impact on the GMP as it is indicative of investor interest in the stock. GMP can also technically be negative, which means the stock would list at a discount to the issue price.
There is one small point to remember here. The GMP is not an official price point, just a popular informal price point. However, in most cases, it has been observed to be a good informal gauge of demand and supply for the IPO. Hence it does give a broad idea of how the listing is likely to be and how the post-listing performance of the stock would be.
Azad Engineering is headquartered in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, and employs 201-500 people.

Azad Engineering IPO Review (Apply)
The company is a niche player in its segment and enjoys virtual monopoly. It posted steady growth in its top line for the reported periods. Drastic fall in bottom line for FY23 is attributed to one-time adjustments as per new accounting norms. Based on FY24 annualized earnings, the issue appears fully priced. Considering bright prospects, it’s a worthy bet. Investors may park funds for the medium to long-term rewards.
