H1 digest: India’s IPO market bucks weak equities as domestic capital steps up | Stock Market News
India's market for initial public offerings stayed strong in April-September of FY27. Mainboard listings rose to 78 from 65, and companies raised ₹94,184 crore, up 35%. Domestic money, through monthly systematic investment plans and institutions, backed bigger issues. Median listing gains trebled to 15%. If you invest in new listings, stay selective: buyers now support only well-priced offers, and small-firm issues have cooled.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Mainboard listings rose to 78 in April-September of FY27, up from 65 in the same period a year earlier.
- Total money raised by mainboard companies increased 35% to ₹94,184 crore, and average issue size rose 12% to over ₹1,200 crore.
- Median listing gains trebled to 15%, while SME listings fell to 137 from 156 and their median subscription halved to around 3x.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are planning to apply for a new listing, look closely at its pricing and business rather than just the subscription numbers, since analysts say a few poorly trading big issues could quickly close this window. Treat any application as a considered choice, not a sure gain.
