The MV Electrosystems share price was ₹916.95 on 5 October 2026, about 116 per cent above the ₹425 issue price. The railway equipment maker listed on 6 August at ₹520, a 22.35 per cent premium. In the two months since, it has more than doubled the price IPO applicants paid.
The company reported a loss in the financial year it sold shares in. Profit after tax for FY26 was minus ₹12.63 crore, against a profit of ₹1.40 crore in FY25, so the issue carried no price to earnings ratio at all.

The fourth most wanted book of the year
At 188.85 times, this was the fourth most subscribed of the 99 mainboard IPOs that have closed in 2026. The median for the year is 24.96 times, so demand here was more than seven times the usual.
The split shows who chased it. The non institutional portion, where large and small high value bids sit, was booked 374.58 times, with big NII at 394.98 times and small NII at 333.77 times. Retail came in at 205.42 times, which works out to roughly one retail application in 205 getting a lot. Institutions were the quietest of the three at 90.47 times, and even that is high.
Allotment is a lottery once a portion is oversubscribed, so treat the retail number as an estimate of the odds. The full category table sits on our MV Electrosystems subscription page.
What the grey market said
The final grey market premium on our tracker was ₹109, or 25.65 per cent, on listing morning. The shares opened 22.35 per cent up. For once the unofficial quote was close, off by about three percentage points. Across the last 10 mainboard listings, the final GMP has missed the actual move by 8.28 percentage points on average. It is a dealer quote rather than an exchange price, and it says nothing about where a stock goes after the opening bell. This one has added another 76 per cent since.
What the company actually sells
MV Electrosystems, set up in 2009, builds electrical and power electronics equipment for railway rolling stock. Its main product is IGBT based three phase drive propulsion equipment for electric locomotives, the system that converts supply power into traction at the wheels. Indian Railways gave it 76.72 per cent of FY26 revenue from operations, and the top ten customers together gave 93.04 per cent.
The order book is the number holders watch. As on 30 June 2026 the company reported an executable order book of ₹921.64 crore, for 564 propulsion units for Indian Railways. Set that against FY26 revenue from operations of ₹49.43 crore, which was down about 21 per cent on the year, and the gap between what it has sold and what it has delivered is the whole debate on this stock.
Cash flow from operations was minus ₹57.55 crore in FY26, and ₹180 crore of the ₹290 crore raised was earmarked for long term working capital.
What happens next
The issue was small, ₹290 crore, the 71st largest of the year's 99 mainboard issues, and all of it fresh capital rather than an offer for sale, so the money went to the company. Delivery against that railway order book, and the quarterly results that follow it, are what the price now answers to. The issue terms, financials and order book detail stay on our MV Electrosystems IPO page, and the mainboard listing performance page tracks how every 2026 listing trades against its issue price.
