India's IPO Market Shows Strength Amid Broader Stock Market Volatility
India's IPO market remains active despite broader stock market volatility and a brief slowdown during the Pitru Paksha period, traditionally considered inauspicious. Recent data shows a majority of mainboard IPOs listed between October 2025 and September 2026 trading above their issue prices, with a median return of 24.7%. While some IPOs have listed below issue price, the overall trend reflects strong investor interest and a vibrant primary market, contrasting with weakness in the secondary market.
