Retail, HNIs chase IPO listing gains despite looming risks
Mint New Delhi
|August 05, 2025
Amid rising global trade tensions and lackluster corporate earnings, India's retail and high-net-worth investors are pouring capital into initial public offerings (IPOs) in pursuit of quick listing gains. But risks are mounting.
Five IPOs that closed last week collectively received ₹2.46 trillion in bids, against a combined offer size of ₹7,008 crore, according to exchange data. That amounts to an oversubscription of about 35 times.
The issues include India's largest depository National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL), Aditya Infotech, Sri Lotus Developers and Realty Ltd, M&B Engineering Ltd, and Laxmi India Finance Ltd.
