During Samvat 2082, India's primary market experienced a record-breaking year, raising ₹2.23 lakh crore through 375 initial public offerings (IPOs). This year saw a surge in mainboard fundraising, with 230 IPOs debuting above their issue prices, indicating strong investor appetite. The mainboard sector mobilised a record ₹2.12 lakh crore through 131 IPOs between October 21, 2025 and November 6, 2026.
Fundraising increased by 19.6% compared to the previous Samvat year, with a 42% jump in fresh capital issuance to ₹1 lakh crore. The final day of trading saw 87 mainboard IPOs trading above their offer prices, while 43 remained below. The median return for these listings was an impressive 16.8%. Sector leaders, particularly financial services and investment companies, contributed significantly to the mainboard fundraising, raising ₹60,781 crore through 14 public issues, which made up 28.6% of total mainboard proceeds.
The SME segment also saw growth, raising ₹10,826 crore through 244 IPOs, although the median return was a negative 3.9%. This IPO boom led to the BSE market crossing the historic ₹500 lakh crore valuation milestone. Analysts predict continued investor interest, but market conditions and valuations will determine the future of IPO participation.
