Poojaa Precision Engineering opens on 28 July 2026 carrying a grey market premium of about Rs 195 — close to 65 percent over its upper band, and the highest of any issue currently on the board.
A number that large deserves more scrutiny, not less.

The number people miss
One lot costs Rs 1,20,400, and there is no smaller unit. That is how the SME platform is designed: SEBI sets a high minimum so that a segment of smaller companies, thinner trading and wider price swings draws investors who can carry that risk.
Two consequences follow, and both matter more than the premium:
Reading a 65 percent premium honestly
A premium this size says demand in the grey market is strong right now. It does not say the stock will list 65 percent up, and on the SME platform the distance between those two statements is at its widest:
The highest premium on the board and the largest single-bet minimum on the board are attached to the same issue here. That combination is worth sitting with before it is worth acting on.
Practical points before bidding
Bidding closes on 30 July, and the SME UPI mandate cut-off is 16:00 IST — an hour earlier than the 17:00 deadline mainboard investors are used to. A mandate approved at 16:30 on the closing day does not go through.
SME issues also do not offer cut-off price bidding the way mainboard issues do, so the bid price is a decision you make rather than a box you tick.
Basis of allotment is 31 July, handled by MUFG Intime, with listing on 4 August.
The honest summary
The premium is real and it is the highest available. It is also the least reliable indicator in the market, attached to a Rs 1.2 lakh indivisible position in a segment built for investors who can absorb a loss of that size.
If the minimum gives you pause, that reaction is worth more attention than the percentage. Read what the company does and what it earns before letting a grey market quote make the decision.
*Nothing here is investment advice. Grey market premium is an unofficial indicator and we are not SEBI-registered analysts. SME issues carry higher volatility and lower liquidity than mainboard issues. Figures are as published at the time of writing and can change.*
