A Power Packed Week for Investors
The primary market in India is buzzing with action as 21 new initial public offerings open for subscription this week. Together, they aim to raise over Rs 4,450 crore, with five mainboard IPOs and a flurry of SME listings driving the momentum. Alongside, 26 companies are also scheduled to list on the bourses, making this one of the most active weeks of the year for equity markets.
Mainboard IPOs Lead the Charge
The excitement begins with Glottis, Fabtech Technologies, and Om Freight Forwarders, all launching their issues on September 29. Agrochemical maker Advance Agrolife will follow on September 30, while WeWork India Management, backed by Embassy Group, takes the spotlight on October 3 with a massive Rs 3,000 crore offering. Glottis is looking to raise Rs 307 crore with a price band of Rs 120 to Rs 129 per share. Om Freight Forwarders has fixed its range at Rs 128 to Rs 135 per share, targeting Rs 122.3 crore. Fabtech Technologies, a pharmaceutical machine manufacturer, plans to raise Rs 230.35 crore with a price band of Rs 181 to Rs 191. Advance Agrolife has set its price range between Rs 95 and Rs 100 per share to mobilise close to Rs 193 crore. The week’s biggest mainboard highlight remains WeWork India which has set its price band at Rs 615 to Rs 648 for a blockbuster Rs 3,000 crore issue.
Strong Lineup from the SME Segment
While the mainboard captures headlines, the SME market is equally vibrant. Six companies including Chiraharit, Sodhani Capital, Vijaypd Ceutical, Om Metallogic, Suba Hotels, and Dhillon Freight Carrier will open subscriptions on September 29. Another ten SMEs such as Sunsky Logistics, Munish Forge, Sheel Biotech, Infinity Infoway, Shlokka Dyes, and Zelio E Mobility will follow on September 30. These SME issues reflect the growing appetite among smaller enterprises to tap the public market, giving investors access to a diverse range of industries from logistics and biotech to hospitality and technology.
