India's IPO Market Hits Record Fundraising Amid Growing Investor Selectivity in FY26
India's IPO market reached a record high in FY26 with 366 listings raising about ₹1.9 trillion, driven mainly by 109 mainboard IPOs raising ₹1.77 trillion. Despite strong fundraising and growing domestic investor participation, including over 225 million demat accounts, investors showed increased caution, focusing on valuations, governance, earnings quality, and future growth. Listing gains and oversubscription rates declined compared to FY25, reflecting a shift toward a more mature and selective market amid global uncertainties and regulatory changes.
