Details of National Stock Exchange (NSE) IPO Announced: Offer Size, Price Band, and Listing Dates

The Indian stock market is preparing for a significant surge in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) this week. Between September 7 and 11, 12 companies are set to enter the market, planning to raise approximately 7,180 crore rupees from investors.

These IPOs are taking place at a time when major IPOs, such as NSE, are also anticipated later this month.

The total volume of these 12 IPOs amounts to approximately 7,179.84 crore rupees. Some companies will raise capital by issuing new shares, while others will allow existing investors to sell their stakes. Of the total issuance, about 2,814.10 crore rupees will be raised through fresh issues, and 4,365.74 crore rupees will come through an Offer For Sale (OFS).

The largest IPO this week is Rentomojo with a volume of 1,255.57 crore rupees, while the smallest will be Manika Plastic's offering at 125.50 crore rupees.

The companies entering the market this week represent various sectors. The IPO of Pranav Constructions will be available from September 7 to 9. Following that, the IPOs of Glas Wolf Systems, Prasol Chemicals, and Kanohar Electricals will open to investors from September 8 to 10.

From September 9 to 11, investors can participate in the IPOs of Karmatar Engineering, LCC Projects, Steamhouse, Manipal Payment and Identity Solutions, Asset Reconstruction, and Rentomojo. Additionally, Vigaland Developers' IPO will be open from September 10 to 15, and Manika Plastic's from September 11 to 16.

It is important to note that the Asset Reconstruction IPO is entirely based on OFS, meaning the company is not issuing new shares as part of this offering.

To participate in these IPOs, retail investors will need to invest an average of 14,500 to 15,000 rupees per lot. Karmatar Engineering's IPO requires the highest amount, around 14,986 rupees per lot, while a lot in Kanohar Electricals can be purchased for approximately 14,536 rupees.

The simultaneous appearance of so many IPOs provides investors with numerous options; however, due to limited capital, choosing between different offerings may prove difficult.

Despite the total IPO volume of 7,180 crore rupees this week, market attention is also focused on two potential mega-IPOs. According to reports, the proposed NSE IPO could be around 30,000 crore rupees and might appear in the week starting September 21. Furthermore, Jio Platforms has received SEBI approval, and its IPO could reach a volume of approximately 37,700 crore rupees.

If this size is maintained, it could surpass the Hyundai Motor India IPO of 27,859 crore rupees and become the largest IPO in the country. Thus, high activity is expected in the primary market over the next few months.

Good IPOs are often oversubscribed several times, after which allocation is done via lottery. In such a situation, applying for 1 lot from different demo accounts linked to family members (parents, spouses, siblings) using their separate PAN cards significantly increases the probability of receiving an allocation.

Anthropic, one of the prominent artificial intelligence (AI) companies based in the United States, has postponed its plans for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). According to sources informed to Reuters, the launch campaign is expected to begin in mid-October.

The company is expected to be listed on the Stock Exchange shortly before the US midterm elections scheduled for November. Although the timeline is not yet finalized, Anthropic initially planned to release its IPO prospectus in early September; however, the current forecast points to the end of September, reserving the possibility of further changes to the schedule.

Anthropic's potential IPO attracts significant attention due to the expected magnitude of the transaction. The company could reach an approximate valuation of US$ 2 trillion, which is equivalent to about R$ 10.7 trillion. If realized, this would make it one of the largest in history and signal strong investor interest in the AI segment.

AI Market Outlook

Anthropic's eventual capital opening will be closely monitored by investors focused on the growth of the AI market. This operation may occur at a time of intense activity among other companies in the sector. OpenAI, another major AI corporation, is also cited as a candidate to conduct an initial public offering.

Recently, the capital market witnessed another major move involving a technology and AI-related company when SpaceX was listed on the Stock Exchange with an estimated valuation of US$ 1.77 trillion (approximately R$ 9.47 trillion). Anthropic's possible valuation of US$ 2 trillion would place it above this level, making its capital opening an event of extreme relevance in the stock market. Anthropic itself did not provide comments regarding the information related to the IPO schedule.

Anthropic plans to make its Initial Public Offering (IPO) prospectus public shortly after the Labor Day holiday in the United States. This information was reported on Thursday (27) by The Information, which based its article on sources familiar with the process.

The company's possible entry into the stock market is expected at the end of September or the beginning of October 2026.

More information on the topic

On the same Thursday (27), Anthropic, along with other major corporations such as OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and AMD, signed a joint document. This document calls on both companies and governments to prioritize cybersecurity, given the growing threat driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

A total of 116 entities joined this manifesto, advocating for a coordinated response to strengthen digital protections and increase access to security resources capable of keeping pace with the evolution of AI-facilitated attacks. The letter emphasizes that there is 'a limited window to strengthen cyber defenses.'

The group of signatories appeals to all organizations to raise the standard of security of their defensive tools, update their systems, and employ a mix of lower-cost AI models and cutting-edge models, which are considered the most sophisticated currently available.
