Travel Food Services IPO Sees Muted Response on Day 1, Subscribed Only 9%; Check Current GMP

The Travel Food Services IPO opened for subscription today with high hopes, but it failed to attract much investor interest. The issue worth Rs. 2,000 crore was subscribed only 9% on Day 1. Even the grey market premium (GMP) remained muted due to limited enthusiasm from the market.

Travel Food Services IPO Subscription Status On Day 1

According to BSE data, the Travel Food Services IPO received 0.13 times subscription in the Retail Individual Investors (RII) category, 0.07 times in Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB), and 0.05 times in the Non-Institutional Investor (NII) category.
This tepid start indicates that investors are adopting a wait-and-watch approach, despite the strong brand presence and airport retail dominance of the company.

Travel Food Services IPO GMP Today On July 7

The Grey Market Premium for Travel Food Services IPO stood at Rs. 16 on July 7. With the upper price band set at ₹1100 per share, the estimated listing price is around ₹1116, suggesting a modest 1.45% listing gain.
While the premium remains positive, it is not significant enough to drive speculative retail demand, especially in a volatile market environment.

Travel Food Services IPO Details

The Travel Food Services IPO opened for subscription today, July 7, 2025, and will close on July 9, 2025. The public issue is entirely an offer for sale of 1.82 crore shares, amounting to a total issue size of Rs. 2,000 crore, which means the company will not receive any fresh capital through this IPO.

The allotment of shares is expected to be finalised on July 10, with the tentative listing date scheduled for July 14, 2025.

At the upper price band of Rs 1,100, the stock is likely to trade at 39.9 times its FY25 earnings, which is at a discount to listed QSR companies. TFS has superior margins and return ratios along with a strong balance sheet. We recommend investors SUBSCRIBE to the issue at the cut-off price."
