Investors in the ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company (ICICI Prudential AMC) IPO are watching two key things on Wednesday, December 17, 2025: share allotment status and listing expectations ahead of the stock’s scheduled debut on Friday, December 19 on the BSE and NSE. [1]
The allotment day comes after the ₹10,602.65 crore issue delivered one of the loudest demand signals seen in India’s primary market this year, with bids aggregating to about ₹3 trillion (₹3 lakh crore)—a level that Reuters noted makes it among the most subscribed IPOs in India’s history. [2]
At the same time, the conversation has expanded beyond “How to check allotment” to “What happens after listing?”—especially after PL Capital initiated coverage with a ‘Buy’ rating and a target price of ₹3,000, adding a fresh layer of pre-listing analysis for investors weighing whether to hold beyond day one.

ICICI Prudential AMC IPO: Key dates investors need to know
Here’s the timeline markets are tracking this week:

- Refunds / unblocking of funds & share credit to demat:December 18, 2025 [5]

Upstox also flagged that the allotment outcome may reflect on portals by late evening as registrar/exchange systems update. [7]
How to check ICICI Prudential AMC IPO allotment status online
Investors can check allotment using any of the three standard routes: BSE, NSE, or the registrar (KFin Technologies). Multiple live trackers today reiterated that you’ll generally need your PAN and either your application number or DP/Client ID to view the final status once updated. [8]

1) Check allotment status on BSE
Moneycontrol and Upstox’s live updates describe the same basic flow:
- Open the BSE IPO allotment page
- Choose Issue Type: Equity
- Select ICICI Prudential AMC / ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company Ltd from the issue list
- Enter PAN (and/or application details as prompted)
- Submit/Search to view status [10]
2) Check allotment status on NSE
The NSE route is useful for verifying bid/application data and tracking the issue symbol commonly used in IPO interfaces:
- Open the NSE IPO page/verification page
- Choose Equity & SME IPO bid details
- Select the issue (symbol seen in trackers is ICICIAMC)
- Enter PAN + application details
- Submit to view status [11]
3) Check allotment status on KFin Technologies (Registrar)
Because KFin Technologies is the registrar for this IPO, many investors prefer this route once the basis of allotment is finalized:
- Visit the KFin IPO status portal
- Select the relevant IPO from the dropdown
- Enter PAN / application number / DP ID-client ID
- Submit to view allotment outcome [12]
ICICI Prudential AMC IPO GMP today: what it suggests for listing
As allotment checks go live, the other big keyword trending today is GMP (grey market premium)—an unofficial indicator that often shapes listing-day expectations (with the important caveat that it is not regulated and can move fast).
Across today’s live trackers and reports:
- Upstox cited a grey market indication implying the stock around ₹2,533, reflecting roughly ~17% over the ₹2,165 cap price. [13]
- Moneycontrol reported the GMP around ₹368 (at a specific morning timestamp), implying an estimated listing price near ₹2,533 and about ~17% upside vs the upper band. [14]
- LiveMint’s afternoon update referenced a GMP figure around ₹351, pointing to an estimated listing zone near ₹2,516 (about ~16% over the issue price). [15]
Bottom line: today’s GMP chatter clusters around mid-teens listing gains (~16–17%), but actual listing performance will still depend on broader market sentiment on December 19 and the opening trade’s order flow. [16]
Reminder: Grey market pricing is unofficial and not an exchange product; several trackers explicitly warn investors not to treat GMP as a guarantee of returns. [17]
Why this IPO became a December headline: demand, bids, and subscription breakdown
ICICI Prudential AMC’s IPO isn’t just another allotment-day search trend. It’s also being framed as a test of how much liquidity investors still have for “quality” financial-services names late in the year.
1) The headline number: ~₹3 trillion in bids
Reuters reported bids worth roughly ₹3 trillion (about $33 billion), putting it in the upper tier of India’s most subscribed IPOs. [18]
2) The subscription split: institutions did the heavy lifting
Across trackers, the pattern is consistent:
- Overall subscription: ~39.17x [19]
- QIB (institutional) subscription: ~124x [20]
- NII (non-institutional/HNI): ~22x [21]
- Retail: ~2.5x [22]
This is a classic “institution-led” demand profile: massive QIB oversubscription, strong HNI participation, and more moderate retail bidding. [23]
3) Issue basics: price band, lot size, and OFS structure
A few details are particularly important for investors interpreting post-listing fundamentals:
- Price band:₹2,061–₹2,165 per share [24]
- Lot size:6 shares [25]
- Issue size:₹10,602.65 crore [26]
- Structure:Entirely Offer for Sale (OFS)—meaning no fresh capital goes into the company from this IPO [27]
Reuters also underscored that the IPO was an offer-for-sale by Prudential, and separately reported Prudential sold a 4.5% stake in the JV ahead of the IPO for about $545 million to marquee investors (subject to approvals and deal terms). [28]
What the company is—briefly—and why markets care
ICICI Prudential AMC is a joint venture between ICICI Bank and Prudential, and Reuters reported it manages more than ₹10 trillion of assets with about 13.2% market share as of September-end. [29]
Live trackers also point out the market significance of the listing:
- The listing is expected to make ICICI Prudential AMC the fifth listed ICICI Group entity (after ICICI Bank, ICICI Prudential Life, ICICI Lombard and ICICI Securities). [30]
- It will join the set of already-listed Indian asset managers (HDFC AMC, Nippon Life India AMC, UTI AMC and others). [31]
PL Capital’s ₹3,000 target before listing: what’s behind the ‘Buy’ call
One of the most-talked-about developments on Dec 17 is that ICICI Prudential AMC has received a prominent pre-listing initiation from PL Capital, with a “Buy” rating and a target price of ₹3,000.
What PL Capital said (as reported today)
- Target price: ₹3,000 [32]
- Valuation approach: 38x September 2027 core EPS (as cited in coverage) [33]
- The call implies roughly ~39% upside from the IPO cap price of ₹2,165 (as described by ET). [34]
The thesis in plain English
The rationale highlighted across reports leans on three broad pillars:
- Distribution strength and parentage
PL Capital emphasized the benefit of ICICI Bank’s distribution reach and the company’s strong “parentage,” which can be meaningful in an industry where flows and customer acquisition matter. [35] - Flows, performance, and “yield” economics
Reports referencing PL Capital note market-leading net equity flow share and attractive yield metrics tied to distributor payouts and product mix. [36] - Relative positioning vs listed peers
Financial Express cited PL Capital arguing that at the IPO’s upper price band, valuation implies a discount versus select peers on a forward basis—while also suggesting ICICI Prudential AMC could ultimately command a premium due to distribution and diversification. [37]
That said, other coverage continues to note that valuations are not “cheap,” which is why several trackers frame the IPO as more suitable for investors with a longer holding horizon rather than those purely chasing listing-day pop. [38]
What to watch next: allotment outcomes, demat credit, and listing-day cues
If you’re tracking the ICICI Prudential AMC IPO from here, the next 48 hours typically unfold in a predictable sequence:
- Allotment status updates begin reflecting on BSE/NSE/registrar portals once finalized (often in waves as systems refresh). [39]
- Refunds and share credits are expected on December 18, which is when investors usually see either (a) demat credit or (b) unblocking/refund initiation. [40]
- Listing on December 19 will be shaped by:
- broader market tone
- opening auction dynamics
- institutional selling vs long-only holding behavior
- and whether GMP sentiment stays firm or cools into debut [41]
Market voices also see the demand surge as evidence of liquidity for “credible businesses” in the IPO pipeline—a theme that came through in ET’s reporting of market commentary around the ₹3 lakh crore bid figure. [42]
