IPO: 23 firms launch public issues worth Rs 27,000 cr in 2026; 236 proposals remain in pipeline

23 firms have launched public issues worth Rs 27,000 crore in 2026 so far, following a record 2025 that saw 103 maiden public issues raise Rs 1.76 lakh crore, up from Rs 1.6 lakh crore by 90 firms in 2024. IPO activity has moderated sharply post-September 2025 with volumes drying up amid tighter market conditions, though 236 mainboard draft papers remain in the pipeline including upcoming issues from Turtlemint Fintech, Advit Jewels, NSE, Zepto, and SBI Mutual Fund. Monthly SIP inflows stayed above Rs 30,000 crore, providing resilience even as foreign investor flows turned volatile.
