Shares of newly listed Indian companies Aeroflex Industries and Ideaforge Technology experienced a slump on Monday, in line with a wider 0.60% decline in the BSE Sensex. This downward trend also impacted other recent entrants to the market, including IKIO Lighting, Sai Silks (Kalamandir), and Updater Services. Notably, shares of Sai Silks and Updater Services fell below their issue prices of ₹222 and ₹300 per share, respectively.
Ideaforge Technology, a dominant player in the Indian unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) market with a 50% share in Fiscal 2022, saw its shares fall for six consecutive trading days.
