The Indian stock market saw continued momentum in the IPO space today as a year-end rush of public offerings drew strong investor interest. Five IPOs closed their bidding process, all securing robust oversubscription, while four others remain open for subscription, reflecting sustained appetite in the primary market as 2024 comes to a close. Almost all of the public issues saw encouraging bidding and robust investor interest.
Among the highlights, the Rs 839 crore IPO of Transrail Lighting, which closed today, recorded an impressive 81 times subscription, bolstered by strong demand from retail and non-institutional investors.

DAM Capital Advisors also concluded its Rs 840.25 crore IPO today, achieving a solid 82 times subscription. This issue, entirely an OFS, has been well-received across investor categories, supported by buoyant demand and a steady grey market premium.
