OYO IPO 2026: Expected Date, Price Band, GMP and What the Filing Actually Says

The OYO IPO is the third attempt at a listing that investors have been waiting on since 2021. This time the paperwork is public, SEBI has issued its observations, and the parent company has been renamed PRISM. What has not arrived yet is the number that decides everything, which is the price band.

This guide separates what is filed and confirmed from what is still speculation, so you can judge the offer when the terms land rather than react to headlines.

Key Takeaways

·       Issue size is ₹6,650 crore. The offer is a 100 percent fresh issue with no offer for sale, so no existing shareholder is cashing out through the IPO.

·       Three quarters of the money repays debt. Around ₹4,987.5 crore is earmarked for repayment or prepayment of borrowings, making deleveraging the clear priority.

·       Dates and price band are not announced. The updated draft prospectus is dated 30 June 2026, but bid dates, lot size and price band will only appear in the red herring prospectus.

·       Profitability has turned. PRISM reported a profit of ₹748.34 crore for the nine months to December 2025, following a net profit of ₹623 crore in FY25.

·       The valuation has reset hard. The unlisted share price is quoted near ₹24 against a 52-week high of ₹55, a long way from the ambitions of the 2021 attempt.

What is the OYO IPO and how big is the issue?

PRISM, formerly Oravel Stays Limited and the parent of OYO, has filed for a public issue of up to ₹6,650 crore. The entire amount is a fresh issue of shares. There is no offer for sale component, which means every rupee raised goes to the company rather than to selling shareholders.

A pre-IPO placement of up to ₹1,330 crore may be considered before the red herring prospectus is filed with the Registrar of Companies. If that placement happens, the size of the main issue reduces accordingly.

Has the OYO IPO date been announced?

No. The updated draft red herring prospectus is dated 30 June 2026, and SEBI issued its observations in early June 2026. Bid opening and closing dates have not been disclosed. The red herring prospectus will carry the firm timeline.

Once the open date is set, the standard sequence applies. Book built issues typically stay open for three trading days, allotment is finalised within about six working days of closing, and listing follows a few working days later on BSE and NSE.

What is the OYO IPO price band?

The price band has not been declared. Until it appears in the red herring prospectus, any specific figure being quoted is an estimate rather than a disclosure. This is the single most important pending number in the entire offer.

It matters because the market has already reset its view of the company. OYO sought a valuation near 9 billion dollars in 2021. The current attempt is anchored to actual earnings rather than growth projections, and the price band will show how much of that reset the company is willing to accept.

What is the OYO IPO GMP today?

There is no meaningful grey market premium yet, because a GMP can only be measured against a declared price band and the band has not been announced. Any GMP figure circulating at this stage is being quoted against an assumed price, not a real one.

It is worth repeating that the grey market is unregulated and has no bearing on how a share actually lists. Treat it as sentiment commentary rather than a forecast.

Where is the IPO money going?

Roughly 75 percent of the raise services debt at the company's Singapore subsidiary. That is a defensive use of capital rather than an expansion story, and it should shape how you value the offer. A company raising to repay borrowings is buying financial stability, not growth.

Is OYO actually profitable now?

Yes, on the reported figures. PRISM posted a profit of ₹748.34 crore for the nine months ended December 2025. For FY25 the company reported a net profit of ₹623 crore, a rise of about 172 percent on the prior year.

Two qualifications belong alongside those numbers. Historical debt servicing has kept net profit thin relative to operating performance, and part of the recent profit is accounting led. Durable cash profitability across a full cycle still has to be demonstrated.

How large is the business today?

A large majority of revenue now comes from outside India. That international weighting is a genuine change from the 2021 filing and it introduces currency, regulatory and integration risks that a purely domestic business would not carry.

How does the OYO unlisted share price compare?

The OYO unlisted share price has been quoted near ₹24 to ₹25 in early August 2026, against a 52-week high of ₹55 and a low near ₹21. The private market has repriced the company sharply over the past year even as the IPO moved closer.

We have covered the price mechanics and buying process in detail in our OYO unlisted shares 2026 guide. If you want the wider context on why private market valuations have fallen this year, see why unlisted share prices are correcting in 2026.

Who holds the company?

The largest single stake sits with SVF India Holdings, the SoftBank linked entity, at roughly 40 percent. RA Hospitality Holdings, tied to founder Ritesh Agarwal, holds around 20 percent, with a further direct holding of about 6.6 percent. Lightspeed, Airbnb and Peak XV are among the other named shareholders.

Because the issue carries no offer for sale, none of these holders sells into the IPO itself. Post listing supply will instead depend on lock-in expiries, which is a factor worth diarising rather than ignoring.

What are the main risks in the OYO IPO?

Valuation risk

Without a price band, the offer cannot be judged. An aggressive band pulls attention straight back to debt levels and profit durability.

Debt and integration

Most of the raise repays borrowings. Acquisition integration, including international assets, remains an execution question.

Profit durability

Recent profitability is recent. Hospitality is cyclical and competition in budget and mid market accommodation is intense.

Timeline risk

This is the third filing after withdrawals in 2021 and 2024. A filing is not a listing until the issue actually opens.

Decide on the Terms, Not the Headlines

The OYO story has produced more headlines than any other Indian startup listing. The part that will actually determine returns is narrow and specific. It is the price band, the final issue size and whether the valuation leaves room for the debt and execution risks already visible in the filing.

If you want to be positioned before the red herring prospectus lands, or you simply want the current unlisted quote and settlement terms in writing, our team can walk you through both.
