India's IPO Market Sees Temporary Slowdown Amid Pitru Paksha, Overall Activity Remains Strong
India's IPO market has experienced a brief slowdown during the Pitru Paksha period, traditionally considered inauspicious, with fewer new listings following a record first half of FY27. Despite this lull, the overall IPO activity remains robust, with many companies preparing to enter the market post-Pitru Paksha. Analysis of NSE listings from April to September 2026 shows most IPOs debuted with price gains, though a notable minority listed below issue price, highlighting the potential value of mandatory equity ratings for investors.
