IPO Storm: Big Gains or Big Risks?

Indian markets are not only breaking domestic records but also emerging as a global leader in listing volumes.

India featured in two of the world's top five IPO deals this year, while domestic IPO fundraising touched an all-time high of Rs 1.8 lakh crore. This reflects sustained investor confidence in Indian equities despite global uncertainty. In October, the world's top five global IPOs together raised over $10 billion, and notably, two of these listings came from India. A total of 139 companies worldwide raised $22 billion through IPOs in October. The largest IPO was launched by UK-based Verisure, which raised $4.2 billion. India's Tata Capital followed, raising $1.7 billion through its listing on the NSE and BSE. In terms of the number of IPOs issued, India surpassed China and Japan to secure the top position.
