Travel Food Services (TFS), one of India’s leading travel retail and food service companies, is set to launch its Initial Public Offering (IPO). As investor interest rises, many are closely watching the Grey Market Premium (GMP) trends to gauge listing gains and market sentiment.
In this article, we’ll break down:
What Travel Food Services is
Key IPO details
Current GMP trends
Whether it’s a good investment opportunity
Established in 2009, Travel Food Services Pvt. Ltd. operates food and drink establishments at India’s major railway stations and airports. Every year, TFS provides millions of passengers with well-known partner brands like KFC, Domino’s, Starbucks, and Café Coffee Day. They are a major force in the food and hotel industry thanks to their substantial influence on India’s expanding travel infrastructure.
Grey Market Premium (GMP) reflects the unofficial premium at which IPO shares are being traded before official listing. A positive GMP signals high demand, while a negative GMP may suggest weak investor interest.
As of the latest reports (July 29, 2025):
GMP: ₹30 – ₹35 per share (Unofficial and subject to change)
Expected Listing Price: ₹295 – ₹305 (based on a price band estimate of ₹260–₹270)
Market Sentiment: Positive due to the company’s monopoly-like presence in travel F&B and increasing airport footfall
Note: GMP is not an official indicator. It’s based on informal sources and should be used with caution.
Although the precise IPO dates have not yet been disclosed, the following is anticipated based on DRHP filings and industry rumors:
