India's IPO Market Records High Fundraising Amid Investor Selectivity and Regulatory Deadlines
India's IPO market saw record activity in FY26, with 366 IPOs raising about Rs 1.9 lakh crore, driven by strong domestic investor participation and a growing number of demat accounts. While fundraising increased, listing gains and oversubscription rates declined as investors became more selective, focusing on valuations, governance, and earnings quality amid geopolitical and market volatility. Regulatory deadlines are prompting 34 companies to launch IPOs by September 30 to avoid fresh approvals, with several large issues expected soon, including from Jio Platforms and NSE.
