(MENAFN- KNN India) New Delhi, Aug 20 (KNN) In a stunning market debut, Positron Energy's shares listed on the National Stock Exchange's (NSE) Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) platform at a premium of 90 per cent on Tuesday.

The stock opened at Rs 475, significantly higher than its issue price of Rs 250 per share.

The initial public offering (IPO) of Positron Energy, which consisted of a fresh equity sale of 20.48 lakh shares, garnered overwhelming investor interest. The issue was oversubscribed by more than 400 times, with non-institutional investors showing particularly strong demand.

Prior to the listing, the grey market premium (GMP) for Positron Energy shares stood at 280, indicating high expectations for the company's market performance.

Positron Energy plans to utilise the net proceeds from the public offer to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditure, and other general corporate purposes.
