Six companies plan IPOs worth 3,825 crore rupees amid primary market activity

Six companies, including Elevate Campuses and Varmora Granito, intend to enter the primary market next week. They aim to raise a total of 3,825 crore rupees through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), as fundraising activity shows a rapid pace in 2026.

In addition to these two issuances, A-One Steels India Ltd, ArMee Infotech Ltd, Swastika Infra, and Adroit Industries (India) Ltd will also launch their public offerings, bringing the total number of planned IPOs for the week to six.

The IPO subscription will be open from September 22 to 28, with most offerings opening on September 23. The funds raised from the new placements will primarily be directed towards business expansion, capital expenditures, debt repayment, working capital needs, and other general corporate requirements.

This current wave of IPOs follows an active start to September, during which 17 offerings have already been completed. Currently, the placement process is underway for a large listing on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) by textile manufacturer Sonaselection India Ltd.

With these offerings, the number of companies launching IPOs in 2026 is expected to reach 87, including 23 issuances in August.

Kamraj Singh Negi, Managing Director and CEO of Pantomath Capital, noted: 'The primary market has clearly regained momentum, with July and August accounting for almost 60 percent of the 83,062 crore rupees raised through IPOs so far in 2026.'

He added that at the current pace of issuance and pipeline depth, the market has the potential to exceed last year's fundraising figures, although the final result will depend on market conditions and listing timelines.

Furthermore, he stated that the prospects for the remainder of the year are particularly favorable given the pipeline depth. 167 companies have received Sebi approval, representing an estimated potential issuance size of 3.06 trillion rupees, and another 71 companies, with an estimated size of 1.60 trillion rupees, are awaiting approval.

'This gives issuers significant freedom of choice for market entry, as conditions remain favorable,' he concluded.

Elevate Campuses, supported by Hillhouse Investment, will enter the primary market with an IPO worth 2,100 crore rupees on September 23, with shares priced in the range of 343–362 rupees. The three-day public offering will conclude on September 25, and listing is expected on September 30. The IPO consists entirely of a fresh issue of ordinary shares, without a secondary offering (OFS) component.

Varmora Granito's IPO, valued at 708 crore rupees, will be available for subscription from September 22 to 24. The price band for the public offering was set at 140–148 rupees per share. This offering from the tile and sanitaryware manufacturer includes a fresh issue of ordinary shares worth up to 320 crore rupees and a secondary offering (OFS) of 2.62 crore shares worth up to 388 crore rupees by investor Katsura Investments.

Integrated steel producer A-One Steels India aims to raise 405 crore rupees through its first public offering, which opens on September 24 and closes on September 28. The price band was set at 385–405 rupees per share. The IPO includes a fresh issue of ordinary shares worth 355 crore rupees and a secondary offering (OFS) of promoter shares worth up to 50 crore rupees.

ArMee Infotech, which deals in integrated technology infrastructure and renewable energy, will launch its IPO worth 300 crore rupees from September 23 to 25. The price band for the offering is set at 350–375 rupees per share, and it is entirely a fresh issue of ordinary shares.

Swastika Infra, an EPC solutions provider in power distribution and infrastructure projects, will launch its IPO worth 161 crore rupees from September 23 to 25, with a price range of 175–185 rupees per share.

Wave of IPOs expected in Indian stock market this week, attracting funds from 12 companies

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.

11 companies plan to raise 7055 crore rupees through IPO next week

Activity in the primary market is intensifying as eleven companies, including Rentomojo, Karamtara Engineering, and Kanohar Electricals, intend to raise 7055 crore rupees through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs).

These IPOs are scheduled to hit the market between September 7 and 15, with most listings opening for subscription on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rajkumar Rati, Investment Director at YES Securities, noted that this surge in multiple issuances reflects the drive to capture equity capital at early stages in young companies, as all of them have a market capitalization below $1 billion USD at the time of listing.

The companies participating in the primary market fundraising represent various sectors: real estate developers, engineering and manufacturing firms, a payment and identity solutions provider, a specialty chemical manufacturer, and an online rental platform.

Of the total amount of 7055 crore rupees, 2722 crore rupees (39 percent) constitutes the primary capital issuance, which goes to the company itself, while 4333 crore rupees (61 percent) is a secondary sale by existing shareholders. According to Rati, such mobilization indicates high corporate confidence and robust liquidity in the Indian primary market.

The funds raised from these new issues will primarily be used for business expansion, capital expenditures, debt repayment, meeting working capital needs, and other general corporate purposes.

This upcoming IPO frenzy follows a strong start to September, when Rays of Belief and Deepa Jewellers already launched their IPOs on September 1. Thanks to these listings, the number of companies launching IPOs in 2026 is expected to increase to 75, including 23 launches in August.
