After a slow start in 2025, India’s IPO market seems to be active again. While the year began with companies delaying their public offers due to weak stock market conditions, June has brought back movement in the primary market.
So far this month, two companies have already opened their IPOs for subscription. Oswal Pumps Limited opened its issue between June 13 and June 17, while Arisinfra Solutions started its 3-day bidding process on June 18, which will close on June 20.
Now, at least eight more companies are preparing to launch their initial public offerings by the end of June and into July. These upcoming IPOs are expected to raise over Rs 26,000 crore in total.
“As the markets are stabilising and are in a range of 24,500 to 25,000, you can see some kind of activity that it is coming back in the primary market after a small brief small gap. Companies are also lining up to raise money from the primary market. Also, the earlier listings are recovering, which is one of the optimisms driving the markets,” said Kranthi Bathini, Equity Strategy, WealthMills Securities Pvt Ltd.
BIG NAMES IN LINE
The companies likely to hit the market soon include HDB Financial Services, Sambhv Steel Tubes, Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases, Kalpataru, Globe Civil Projects, NSDL, Hero Fincorp and JSW Cement.
Among them, HDB Financial Services is preparing one of the largest IPOs in this lineup. According to a report by Moneycontrol, the company may soon file its red herring prospectus (RHP).
The IPO is worth around Rs 12,500 crore, with a fresh issue of Rs 2,500 crore and an offer-for-sale of up to Rs 10,000 crore. The anchor investor portion is likely to open on June 24, with the full IPO expected between June 25 and June 27.
Sambhv Steel Tubes, which received approval from SEBI in March, is also ready to launch its IPO soon. The public offer will be a book-building issue of Rs 540 crore.
It will include a fresh issue of Rs 440 crore and an offer-for-sale of Rs 100 crore. People aware of the development said the company is in the final stages of preparation. The retail quota for both HDB Financial Services and Sambhv Steel Tubes is expected to be around 35%.
Despite no official price band yet, HDB Financial’s IPO is already showing signs of investor interest. A grey market premium (GMP) of Rs 93 per share has been seen in the grey market, indicating strong demand.
