The market has been highly volatile of late, but next month is expected to bring some cheer for investors as August is likely to witness an IPO rush with more than a dozen companies, including Zepto, Truhome Finance and logistics platform Shiprocket, gearing up to launch their initial share sale. The upcoming issues, expected to collectively raise over Rs 25,000 crore, include a mix of fresh equity issuances and offer-for-sale (OFS) components, merchant bankers said.
“With markets stabilising and investor sentiment improving, companies that were waiting on the sidelines are now moving ahead with their IPO plans,” said Bhavesh Shah, MD & Head-Investment Banking at Equirus Capital.
Zepto plans to raise up to Rs 8,010 crore
Among the largest offerings, Zepto plans to raise up to Rs 8,010 crore through a fresh issue, along with an OFS of up to 11.34 crore equity shares.
Housing finance company Truhome has proposed a Rs 3,000-crore IPO, comprising a fresh issue of up to Rs 1,500 crore and an OFS of an equal amount.
Elevate Campuses intends to raise Rs 2,550 crore entirely through a fresh issue, while Shiprocket has filed for a Rs 2,342.35-crore IPO, including a fresh issue of up to Rs 1,100 crore and an OFS worth Rs 1,242.35 crore.
Market participants expect IPO activity to remain buoyant as companies look to capitalise on favourable fundraising conditions.
