Cordelia Cruises parent Waterways Leisure Tourism opens Rs 585 crore IPO at Rs 769-808 band. India's only domestic ocean cruise operator with 79% market share lists July 1 on BSE/NSE; consumer-facing leisure retail play.

Why this matters

Waterways Leisure's IPO marks India's first cruise line listing, with GMP signalling a muted 1.24% pop and valuations at 101x P/E drawing scrutiny despite Cordelia's 79% FY25 share of the domestic ocean cruise market.

Retail-company activity holding steady with 3,478 signals over the past 90 days.
