Upcoming IPO lock-in openings: Investors eye opportunities in June 2025

Over the next 30 days, investors are gearing up for significant opportunities as lock-in periods for 36 IPOs are set to expire, potentially releasing shares worth over Rs 3,700 crore into the market. According to recent data, these expirations will occur between June 15 and July 15, 2025, with 2.547 million shares becoming available for trading.

June 15: 9 companies, including Vishal Mega Mart and ACME Solar Holdings, to unlock shares worth Rs 318 crore.

June 22: 6 companies, led by Borosil Renewables, to unlock Rs 262 crore.

June 25: 12 companies, including Sagility India and Swiggy, to unlock Rs 1,194-crore shares, making it the busiest day by value.

Borosil Renewables leads the pack with the highest value of shares unlocking at Rs 127 crore, representing 8% of its outstanding shares, set to open on June 22.

Vishal Mega Mart (VMM) follows closely with Rs 96 crore worth of shares (1% of outstanding shares) unlocking on June 15.

Sagility India, with Rs 91 crore (3% of shares), and ACME Solar Holdings, with Rs 88 crore (3% of shares), will see their lock-ins expire on June 25 and June 15, respectively.

Smaller companies like Gensol Engineering (Rs 2 crore, 6% of shares) and Trident Techlabs (Rs 3 crore, 7% of shares) have lower absolute values but higher percentages of shares unlocking. For thinly traded stocks, this could disproportionately impact prices, making them potential outliers to watch.

Other notable companies include Swiggy, Niva Bupa, and NTPC Green Energy, each with significant share values ranging from Rs 60 crore to Rs 84 crore.

The lock-in expirations are spread across various sectors, with companies like Borosil Renewables (renewable energy), Visual Mega Mart (retail), and Sagility India (IT services) drawing particular attention. Analysts suggest that the influx of shares could lead to increased volatility, especially for stocks like One Mobikwik Systems and Saraswati Saree Depot, where 48% and 46% of outstanding shares, respectively, will be released.

With 36 companies in the spotlight, market participants are closely monitoring these developments. The total value of shares to be unlocked over the next month stands at Rs 3,700 crore, with an additional 3 million shares currently under lock-in, potentially impacting stock prices and trading volumes.
