IPO Market Back in Action

With domestic stock markets stabilizing, the primary market is witnessing renewed momentum as companies gear up for Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). After a cautious start to the year due to global uncertainties, the improving sentiment has encouraged firms to re-enter the market. In the second half of 2026 (July–December), as many as 238 companies are expected to launch IPOs, aiming to collectively raise around ₹4.72 lakh crore. This marks one of the highest proposed fundraising phases in recent times, reflecting growing investor confidence.

During the first half of the year, IPO activity remained moderate, with 27 companies raising ₹22,555 crore despite market volatility. Major contributors included Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions, Fractal Analytics, and Shadowfax Technologies. Notably, 174 companies have already secured approvals from Securities and Exchange Board of India to raise ₹2.77 lakh crore, while 64 more are awaiting clearance. Increased domestic investments, rising SIP inflows, and renewed participation from foreign investors have strengthened market sentiment. Upcoming IPOs, including those from Jio Platforms and National Stock Exchange, are expected to attract significant investor interest.
