Knack Packaging Lists at Strong Premium, Shares Ease From Day’s High

Mumbai | July 8, 2026 

Knack Packaging shares listed at a decent premium on the Indian stock market on Wednesday. The integrated packaging solutions provider’s initial public offering delivered on investor expectations, opening above the grey market premium before easing from its intraday high by the close of trade. 

 Knack Packaging shares were listed at ₹188 per share on the NSE, a premium of 10.58 percent to the issue price of ₹170. On the BSE, shares opened at ₹186 per share, representing a 9.41 percent premium. The ₹439.5 crore issue had a price band of ₹161 to ₹170 per share, with the offer oversubscribed 83.33 times, signalling strong institutional and retail participation across investor categories. 

 The listing outperformed street estimates indicated by the grey market premium, which had hovered above 7 percent ahead of the debut. During the session, the stock touched a day high of ₹192 on the BSE, a level nearly 13 percent above the issue price. Shares later eased from this high, with the stock settling at ₹182.70 as of the 16:01 update, up 7.47 percent for the day and below both the BSE listing price of ₹186 and the session’s peak. The day’s low on the BSE stood at ₹180.25. 

 Knack Packaging raised ₹131.25 crore from anchor investors ahead of the public issue, backing the confidence reflected in the subscription numbers and listing premium. The company’s market capitalisation at listing stood at ₹2,275.99 crore. 

 Headquartered in Ahmedabad, Knack Packaging manufactures customised Printed and Laminated Woven Polypropylene bags and pinch bottom bags, serving sectors including food products and pet foods. The company positions itself as an integrated, innovation-driven and export-oriented solutions provider within the packaging sector. 

 Proceeds from the fresh issue will fund the establishment of a new manufacturing facility at Borisana, Kadi in Gujarat’s Mehsana district. Remaining funds will support general corporate purposes, strengthening the company’s capital base as it scales operations across domestic and export markets. 

 The listing comes as India’s primary market has maintained momentum despite global market headwinds. Knack Packaging’s strong subscription and debut performance underscore persistent investor appetite for quality manufacturing businesses with export credentials and growth visibility. The packaging sector itself has benefited from structural tailwinds in food processing, FMCG, and organised retail segments. 

 The stock’s first-day volatility also reflects the overall market mood, with broader indices facing pressure on geopolitical concerns and crude oil movements. The IPO calendar remains active, with several sizeable offerings lined up in the coming weeks.
