Mainboard IPOs made a strong comeback in May, signal renewed strength in Indian markets

India's capital markets saw a fresh wave of momentum in May 2025, with the mainboard IPO segment bouncing back after a two-month pause, NSE's Market Pulse data showed on Friday.
Backed by improving macroeconomic conditions and strong investor participation, this revival highlights the resilience of Indian markets amid global uncertainties.
Three mainboard IPOs were launched in May, collectively raising over Rs 5,600 crore. Each public issue had an average size of around Rs 1,750 crore, according to the report.
Interestingly, all the IPOs came from the consumer discretionary sector, a trend that continues from FY25, during which this sector contributed 40 per cent of the total capital raised through IPOs.
