Citigroup Predicts Recovery and Growth in India's IPO Market in 2026

Citigroup forecasts a strong recovery for India's initial public offering (IPO) market in the second half of the year, despite early challenges including foreign capital withdrawal and rupee depreciation. Key listings such as Jio Platforms and the National Stock Exchange are pivotal. About $3.5 billion has been raised so far in 2026, compared to $22.4 billion in 2025. Experts highlight India's AI sector as a key attraction for investors, with deal volumes expected to match or exceed last year's levels.
