Indian companies reportedly raised over Rs. 30,000 crore in 2020 from 12 successful Initial public offerings (IPOs) including Mazagon Dock, Rossari Biotech, SBI Cards, Happiest Minds, Burger King, and Chemcon Specialty. According to NSE’s data, Happiest Minds was oversubscribed by 150.98 times and Rossari Biotech 79 times.
2021 is believed to be the year of hope and is expected to bring in bumper IPOs. Indian equity markets are likely to see some of their biggest IPOs ever in 2021 with big unicorns of India Inc coming to the stock markets.
An IPO allows companies to raise equity capital from public investors for capital expenditure, clearing debt, or giving primary investors the option to exit. Investors are drawn towards IPO for listing day gains and to become a long term investor and to grow with the company.
