According to research, India’s equities market had the greatest number of initial public offerings (IPOs) worldwide as a result of significant domestic inflows.

“In the first half of 2024, more than 5,450 companies were listed across the world, with India’s share being about 25%,” said wealth management company Angel One Wealth.

“There were a lot of IPO listings in India last year as well. The research said that the huge influx of domestic investors in developing businesses and industries was the cause of this.

The IPO markets peaked globally in 2021. 2,388 firms went public globally during this time, raising a total of $453.3 billion in capital.

In the last 20 years, this was the most money collected via initial public offerings (IPOs).

The newspaper said that the “BSE IPO index with 348 percent absolute gains has outperformed benchmark BSE 500 index’s 165 percent gain by a wide margin, thanks to strong listing gains.”

Over time, IPOs for small and medium-sized businesses (SME) have also done well.

“In 2019, the average listing gain for SME initial public offerings (IPOs) was around 2 percent; by 2024, that figure had risen to 74%. Listing gains from mainboard initial public offerings (IPOs) peaked in 2020 and have subsequently range-bound at around thirty percent,” the statement said.

The good returns of the Indian stock market are one factor contributing to the IPO market’s recent rise.

Nifty has increased by around 17% and Sensex by nearly 16% since the start of the year.

India’s robust economy is the cause of the stock market’s recent surge.

India’s GDP is predicted to expand at a pace of 7.2% in the current fiscal year, after growing at an 8.2% annual rate in FY 2023–2024.
