Mid-June Noticed 4 IPO Listings Seeking to Raise INR 9,123 Cr

A Brief Overview

After a sluggish two months, following the last initial public offering (or IPO) listing made by Macrotech Developers between April 7 and 9, IPO listings are once again set to hit the market this week. Presently four companies seek to offer their shares and seek to collectively raise INR 91,23 Crores.

Shyam Metalics and Energy Limited saw its IPO reach the public this Monday.

Sona BLW Precision Forgings (also known as Sona Comstar) was also made available to the public on Monday.

Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences and Dodla Dairy are set to do the same tomorrow, Wednesday, based on information provided by exchanges.

Why Are IPOs Flooding the Market?

Initial public offerings are back in the market owed in part to the liquidity presently gushing through equity markets which have been interspersed with retail participation which is enthusiastic. This means that it’s a good time for small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) to generate money via the public. Their desire to tap into IPO listings therefore should not be surprising at the moment.

With the aid of funds generated via an IPO, companies can better tackle their existing debt and make arrangements for their capital expenditure requirements. Moreover, general corporate expenses will be able to be funded better as a result of the returns brought in via a public offering.
