IPO mkt slows down in Jan
Financial Express Pune
|February 25, 2026
Number of IPOs 3rd lowest in FY26
AMID RISING UNCERTAINTY in the secondary market, the primary market also felt the heat in January. According to the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (Sebi’s) monthly bulletin released on Tuesday, there were only 18 initial public offerings (IPOs) in January -the third lowest in FY26. Even the ₹5,500 crore raised from these issuances was the second-lowest during the fiscal.
“...it may be said that the moderation in primary market activity in January could be a phase of valuation normalisation following a strong issuance cycle, rather than indicating any structural weakening in primary market fundamentals,” the bulletin noted.
There were signs of moderation in valuations towards the end of December, along with intermittent volatility, following which the IPO activity declined the next month.
