India took place for the busiest IPO month in almost three decades, making investors with wide eyes

India will witness the busiest month for IPOs in almost 30 years, with no fewer than 25 companies being expected to hit the mainboard segment in September. According to Data from Primedatabase, compiled by Bloomberg, the last such increase in IPOs was seen in 1997, when 28 companies ticked into the markets. They are expected to increase more than RS 12,000 crore from these companies.

The flood of IPOs is not limited to the mainboard segment, but also extends to the smaller SME segment. This week alone, 28 IPOs go on the street and 18 numbers are planned to open in the first two days of next week.

The question of these issues is mixed. While most of them succeed in sailing, subscription numbers remain moderate, probably due to a liquidity crisis caused by the large number of IPOs on the market.

The end -of -year student of IPOs is not new. Even last year, companies went over public markets towards the end of the year, albeit in smaller numbers. Companies usually want to complete fundraising before the quarter is concluded, because postponing deals should be updated in October to update the draft prospectuses with a new round of controlled income.

Analysts said that a combination of a robust business outlook, strong domestic liquidity, floating stock markets and attractive ratings has created a Sweet Spot for companies that become public. Dharmesh Mehta, CEO of Dam Capital, noted that foreign investors have also shown more appetite for the Indian offer, which further increases trust.

Although they are net sellers this year of approximately RS 1.8 Lakh Crore in the secondary market, FIIs have deposited almost RS 42,900 crore ($ 4.8 billion) in IPOs and qualified institutional placements. Analysts say that this contrast underlines how Fii’s selective betting on new equity stories instead of on the wider market. The IPO tree comes in the secondary market despite a weak achievement, where Indian benchmark -Indices have hardly climbed this year.

Prospect

India is expected to remain one of the world’s busiest IPO destinations. In 2024, companies raised more than RS 1.5 Lakh Crore and in 2025 the momentum was largely sustained, with RS 68,000 Crore mobilized until August.

Data collected by Prime Database shows that problems with a value of RS 1.14 Lakh Crore have already received legal approval, while another RS ​​is worth 1.64 Lakh Crore pending.

Legal changes have also contributed. Sebi has used AI-driven document scanning to accelerate approvals, shorten timelines and enable issuents to grab market windows more efficiently.
