Waterways Leisure Tourism IPO Allotment: Cordelia Cruises Subscription Status, GMP Rs 5-6, Listing July 1 on BSE/NSE

The Waterways Leisure Tourism IPO, which operates India’s only domestic ocean cruise line under the Cordelia Cruises brand, closes today with subscription data showing 69% uptake as of 11:25 AM , translating to 28,74,798 shares bid against 41,84,004 available for public subscription. The Waterways Leisure Tourism IPO allotment date is Monday, recently. Investors who applied should note that the Rs 263.25 crore anchor allocation (recently) to 11 institutional investors is separate from public subscription; whether the overall issue reaches the minimum subscription threshold required for SEBI compliance depends on aggregate demand across all categories by close of trading today. Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest provides the complete picture on the Waterways Leisure Tourism IPO subscription, allotment process, and what the GMP of Rs 5-6 implies for the recently listing.

The Waterways Leisure Tourism IPO grey market premium stands at Rs 5-6 per share, implying a listing price of approximately Rs 813-814 , just 0.6-0.7% above the issue price of Rs 808. This nearly-nil GMP reflects mixed investor sentiment around Cordelia Cruises: the company holds India’s dominant domestic ocean cruise position (79% market share by value) and has served over 730,000 guests on the MV Empress, but FY26 financials showed a decline in both revenue (Rs 586.99 crore vs Rs 597.68 crore in FY25) and PAT (Rs 52 crore vs Rs 168 crore in FY25). The valuation , based on a Rs 585 crore fresh issue primarily to fund lease payments to its subsidiary Baycruise Shipping , has drawn scepticism from IPO analysts who have flagged the asset-light single-vessel business model and declining profitability as concerns at this price point.
