Boom in IPO market
After facing the brunt of Donald Trump’s decision on tariffs one after another, the Indian stock market now seems to be returning towards stability. Dalal Street has risen from its declining phase and is now trading in a bullish trend for 3 consecutive days. The market had even reached all-time high on the previous trading day. Despite all the uncertainties this year, the one thing that did not change was the confidence of companies in the market. Due to this, even after the volatile market, companies continued to launch IPOs in the stock market and many more companies are in this list. Statistics show that this year 2025, companies have so far raised Rs 1.6 lakh crore through IPO and are expected to raise the same in the remaining one month. Which is a new record in itself.
Meesho Limited, Equus Limited and Vidya Wires Limited have announced their IPO next month. After this, the amount being raised by companies through IPO in 2025 has reached a record level. This amount has left behind last year’s record, even though there is still one month left for the year to end. Till now, a total of more than Rs 1.6 lakh crore has been collected, which is a new record. This amount is more than Rs 1.59 lakh crore raised in 2024. Meesho is looking to raise around Rs 5421 crore, Equus Limited wants to raise around Rs 921 crore and Vidya Wires is expected to get around Rs 300 crore from its IPO.
September was incredible
This year’s increase is being considered special because almost half of the total amount collected has come only after September. According to the report of Moneycontrol, about ten more companies are preparing to launch IPO worth about Rs 25,000 crore. In such a situation, the total IPO fund raising this year can reach around Rs 2 lakh crore.
This year is also known for huge selling done by big investors. Company owners, private investment firms and venture capital funds have sold shares worth more than Rs 1 lakh crore through offer for sale. This figure may increase further after the issue in December. In comparison, Rs 95,300 crore was raised from OFS in 2024, while Rs 64,500 crore was raised from new share sale. According to Prime Database, between 2021 and 2025, Indian companies raised Rs 5.4 lakh crore from the stock market. Out of this, Rs 3.37 lakh crore i.e. almost two-thirds of the money was raised by old investors by selling shares through OFS. During this period, only Rs 2.03 lakh crore came in the form of new capital, which is equal to about 60% of the OFS amount.
The new issue did wonders
Recent big and successful IPOs in the domestic market like Grow’s parent company BillionBrain Garage Ventures, education platform Physicswala and fintech company Pine Labs have greatly increased the enthusiasm of investors. Foreign investors have also played an important role. Even though they have sold about $24 billion in other markets, they have invested $7.55 billion in new issues in India. This shows that the confidence of foreign investors in India’s stock market is still strong.
