Umiya Mobile shares list with 2% premium over IPO price on BSE SME platform
ADVERTISEMENT The Rajkot-based electronics retailer raised Rs 24.88 crore through a fresh issue of 37.7 lakh equity shares at a fixed price of Rs 66 per share.
Umiya Mobile is a multi-brand retail chain that deals in smartphones, accessories, laptops, and consumer electronics such as smart TVs, refrigerators, and air conditioners. It has a pan-Gujarat presence with 149 stores and another 69 in Maharashtra.
While the company has shown impressive revenue growth — a 33% rise in FY25 to Rs 601 crore — its PAT margin remains wafer-thin at just under 1%. Nonetheless, PAT jumped 141% to Rs 5.66 crore, supported by operating leverage and expanding footprint.The IPO proceeds will go toward debt repayment and general corporate purposes.While the fundamentals are decent and the brand has built a strong regional retail network, market watchers remain cautious.
ADVERTISEMENT The company operates in a competitive, low-margin business with high working capital requirements. Moreover, the lack of a GMP reflects subdued expectations ahead of the listing.With no premium signaled in the unofficial market, all eyes are now on whether Umiya Mobile can deliver a surprise pop or if the retail exuberance was misplaced.

Stock markets decline in early trade dragged down by Oil & Gas shares, foreign fund outflows
Equity benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty declined in initial trade on Tuesday, dragged down by selling in oil & gas shares and persistent foreign fund outflows. Investor sentiment was further dampened after US President Donald Trump threatened to impose higher tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil. The 30-share BSE Sensex declined by 315.03 points or 0.39 per cent to 80,703.69 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty went lower by 41.80 points or 0.17 per cent to 24,680.95. Among the Sensex firms, BEL, HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank, Infosys, Hindustan Unilever, Adani Ports, Mahindra & Mahindra, Asian Paints, and Tata Steel were the major laggards. Maruti, State Bank of India, HCL Technologies, Axis Bank, UltraTech Cement, Tata Motors, Titan, NTPC and Bajaj Finance were among the gainers. 'The latest tweet from President Donald Trump that 'I will be substantially raising US tariffs on India' for buying Russian oil is a big threat. If he walks his talk, India-US relations will further strain, and the impact on India's exports to the US can be worse than thought earlier. 'India's GDP growth and corporate earnings in FY26 will also be impacted. The market, still trading at elevated valuations, has not discounted such an eventuality. It remains to be seen how things evolve. India's response, with facts, that 'Targeting India is unjustified and unreasonable' sends a message that India will not be making undue concessions and compromises,' VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments, said. This means the market is in uncharted territory in the near-term. If President Trump raises tariffs on India further, the market will react negatively. Investors may wait and watch for the developments to unfold, he added. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Shanghai's SSE Composite index, Hong Kong's Hang Seng and Japan's Nikkei 225 index were quoted in positive territory. The US markets ended higher on Monday. Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.33 per cent to USD 68.53 a barrel. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 2,566.51 crore while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) outnumbered the FIIs by purchasing equities worth Rs 4,386.29 crore on Monday, according to exchange data.
