Despite muted equity market conditions, the action in the primary market will be sustained in the coming week, too, starting from December 30. The market participants will see four IPOs opening for public subscription next week, along with six companies scheduled for listing on the bourses.
The month as well as the year passing by remained strong for the primary market. A total of 335 companies launched their public issues in the current year including 93 from the mainboard segment, raising nearly Rs 1.72 lakh crore, the highest ever in a year. It was highest for the mainboard as well as SME segments. Experts expect the trend to sustain next year 2025 too, as a lot of companies already received approval from the SEBI to go ahead with their IPO plans and are also seen tapping the primary market for fund raising from sectors like power, technology, manufacturing and services.
The only IPO from the mainboard segment next week will be Indo Farm Equipment, opening on December 31. It plans to raise Rs 260 crore through its public issue comprising a fresh issue of Rs 185 crore and an offer-for-sale of around Rs 75 crore worth of shares. The price band for the offer, closing on January 2, has been fixed at Rs 204-215 per share.
