The rally comes ahead of Groww’s official entry into the BSE Large Cap index on January 6, 2026, along with fellow newly listed firm Lenskart Solutions, according to a notification from BSE Index Services. From the market open on January 6, shares of Groww will also be included in the BSE Allcap, BSE Large MidCap, and BSE Financial Services indices, increasing visibility among institutional and retail investors alike.
Groww Lite
Adding to investor excitement, Groww on Monday unveiled “Groww Lite,” a web-based emergency trading portal designed to allow users to exit or close positions even if the main app or website experiences outages. Built on a separate DNS infrastructure, Groww Lite bypasses Cloudflare and standard routing layers to ensure uninterrupted access.“We are continuously working to make our core platforms even more robust. Groww Lite is designed as a safety layer for our users, something they hopefully never need to use but can depend on completely when they do,” the company said in a statement.
The launch comes in the wake of recent large-scale internet disruptions, including Cloudflare-related outages affecting multiple digital services. By providing a fail-safe channel, Groww aims to offer traders control during critical market hours, even under technical glitches.
IPO performance and financials
Groww’s IPO opened on November 4 and closed on November 7 at Rs 100 per share, raising over Rs 6,600 crore via a combination of fresh issuance and an Offer for Sale (OFS). Since listing on November 12, the stock has gained 54% from its listing price of Rs 114 on the BSE. The company reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 471.33 crore for Q2 FY26, up 12% from Rs 420.16 crore a year ago, driven by an expanding user base and strong asset growth. Total transacting users rose 27% year-on-year to 19 million, while customer assets surged 33% to Rs 2.7 lakh crore. Revenue from operations, however, declined to Rs 1,018.74 crore from Rs 1,125.4 crore in the year-ago quarter.
Backed by marquee investors including Peak XV, Tiger Capital, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Groww plans to deploy IPO proceeds towards technology development and business expansion. Its debut on the exchanges saw a near 31% premium over the issue price, signaling strong market demand and investor confidence.
