Reliance JIO to Flipkart - These are much-awaited 10 IPOs to watch out in 2026
Reliance JIO, NSE to Flipkart - These are much-awaited 10 IPOs to watch out for in 2026; Check full list here
After witnessing an IPO tsunami in IPO in 2025 with record-breaking issues, India's primary market is all set to enter 2026 with one of the largest IPOs in pipeline.
“India's equity fund-raising ecosystem is entering a pivotal phase, shaped by a strong 2025 and evolving market dynamics heading into 2026. This year has seen robust activity across IPOs, QIPs, rights issues and other capital-raising routes, reflecting sustained issuer confidence despite valuation debates and mixed post-listing performance. As regulatory reforms streamline timelines and broaden access to capital, India's primary markets are becoming more efficient and globally competitive,” said Akshay Gupta, Director, Prime Securities.
As per Prime Database, 84 companies have received approval from market regulator Sebi and plan to collectively raise about ₹1.14 lakh crore. Meanwhile, another 108 firms are awaiting Sebi's green signal, looking to raise ₹1.46 lakh crore.
In total, over 190 companies are either approved or in the pipeline, pointing to a potential fundraising pool exceeding ₹2.5 lakh crore. This strong pipeline visibility offers confidence that the IPO cycle is likely to stay robust well into 2026.
“2026 is expected to test the depth and maturity of the equity markets—both in terms of sectoral leadership and the quality of issuers tapping public markets. From new-age technology firms to established legacy players, the coming year could redefine how capital is raised, priced and deployed,” Gupta added.
