Once worries over tariff, geopolitical tensions ease, both investors and issuers will get comfort
THE NUMBER OF initial public offerings (IPO) has sharply dropped, by as much as 62%, this calendar year due to a convergence of global and domestic factors.
So far in 2025, 10 IPOs have raised ₹18,704 crore, compared with 27 public issues mopping up ₹24,437 crore during January-May of 2024.
Interestingly, though the number of IPOs has fallen, the average issue size has more than doubled - from ₹905 crore to ₹1,870 crore.
Some of the biggest IPOs in CY25 include Hexaware Tech (₹8,750 crore), Dr Agarwal's Health Care (₹3,027 crore) and Ather Energy (₹2,981 crore).
Most IPOs have struggled after listing this year. At least six of them are trading below issue prices, including Ather Energy and Quality Power. Indo Farm and Stallion India have seen their shares drop more than 38% from the issue prices.
