Introduction:
India’s IPO market has experienced a good start in 2025, with February 2025 witnessing a notable surge in IPO filings. Thirty-four companies submitting their Draft Red Herring Prospectuses (DRHPs) across BSE SME, NSE Emerge, and the mainboard platforms indicate a strong pipeline for upcoming public offerings.
However, the momentum faced headwinds as the month progressed. Despite the temporary slowdown, the overall outlook for upcoming IPOs in 2025 remains optimistic, with projections suggesting that total equity fundraising through upcoming IPOs in India could top $23 billion, up from $19.6 billion in 2024. This optimism is further bolstered by the anticipation of several high-profile IPOs slated for March 2025, offering promising opportunities for investors.
