Indian IPO Market Stalls as Volatility Delays Big Fundraising Plans

Indian IPO market has come to a halt, with no new public issues launched in over a month—even though many companies have already submitted their filings to SEBI. So far, SEBI has received 144 draft offer documents for upcoming IPOs, with a total planned issue size of over Rs1.47 lakh crores. However, due to rising market volatility and global economic uncertainty, investor interest in IPOs has dropped. As a result, company promoters and investment bankers are holding off on launching their IPOs, waiting for more stable market conditions. Big names like Ather, NSDL, JSW Cement, and LG are among those postponing their fundraising plans in the Indian market.
