Noida, Aug 19 (APAC Media): Shares of Shiprocket rose 10% on Wednesday, extending gains after the e-commerce logistics company made a strong debut on Indian stock exchanges, with the stock trading nearly 48% above its initial public offering price.
Shiprocket shares were issued at Rs 97 apiece and debuted at Rs 129.50 on the BSE and Rs 131 on the NSE, marking a premium of more than 33% over the issue price.
The company’s Rs 1,617-crore IPO received strong investor interest, with the issue subscribed nearly 99.4 times. Institutional investors led demand for the offering, reflecting expectations of continued growth in India’s expanding e-commerce and digital logistics markets.

The sharp rise following the listing has prompted investors to assess whether the stock’s momentum can be sustained.
Market analysts cited in an Economic Times report advised IPO allottees to consider booking partial profits after the steep initial gains. Investors who did not receive shares in the IPO were advised to wait for a correction rather than chase the stock following its rapid rise.
Shiprocket operates a technology-led logistics platform that provides shipping, fulfilment and related services to online sellers. The company has positioned itself to benefit from the continued expansion of India’s e-commerce industry and the growing adoption of online retail across smaller cities and towns.
Proceeds from the IPO are expected to support technology and product development, strategic acquisitions and expansion of the company’s logistics network.
The stock’s strong debut and subsequent rally have brought investor attention to its valuation and long-term growth prospects. While the initial gains have rewarded IPO investors, market participants are likely to focus increasingly on Shiprocket’s revenue growth, profitability and ability to justify its post-listing valuation.
For investors considering a fresh entry, analysts’ focus remains on valuation rather than short-term momentum, particularly after the stock’s sharp gains since its debut.
