Company Overview
Leela Hotels, which is owned and managed by Schloss Bangalore Ltd., stands as the largest standalone luxury brand in India by the count of 3,553 total rooms as of the end of FY25.

WHAT IS GMP?
GMP (Grey Market Premium) is the difference between the IPO price and the grey market price. It is the premium amount paid for the traded IPO shares. It plays an important role in IPOs as it reflects how the IPO would react on the listing day.
