  "account": "The primary market anticipates another active week as seven companies prepare to raise over Rs 6,400 crore through initial public offerings (IPOs). Horizon Industrial Parks, backed by Blackstone, will lead the IPO wave on August 17 with a Rs 2,600-crore issue, earmarked for debt repayment. On the same day, Lalithaa Jewellery Mart will float its Rs 1,700-crore IPO, combining a fresh issue and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to Rs 500 crore. Shankesh Jewellers and film producer Sunshine Pictures will follow on August 18, raising Rs 367 crore and Rs 282 crore, respectively, through their IPOs. Gaja Alternative Asset Management will enter the market on August 19, launching a Rs 550-crore IPO, while Tempsens Instruments will open its issue on August 20, and Augmont Enterprises will float its Rs 825-crore IPO on August 21. Collectively, these seven companies aim to raise more than Rs 6,400 crore through public offerings, solidifying another busy week for the primary market. The proceeds from these IPOs will primarily be utilized for business expansion, capital expenditure, and debt repayment, while the OFS will benefit the selling shareholders. The upcoming IPOs bring the total number of companies launching shares in 2026 to an expected 55, according to industry data.",
  "summary": "The upcoming issues follow the launch of five IPOs this week, while three companies had already tapped the market earlier this month.",
