IPO pipeline stays strong with 72 firms seeking to raise ₹1.70 lakh crore

Sandeep Gupta, Director, Valmiki Leela Capital, said the real test for IPOs in the pipeline will be the willingness of issuers to launch issues at valuations that the market could absorb, and this could prompt some companies to wait for more supportive conditions.

Several 2026 listings are trading below their issue prices, showing that listing gains can no longer be taken for granted. Retail investors are increasingly paying attention to post-listing performance, which is putting greater emphasis on valuation discipline, he added.

"Jio Platforms will be closely watched, given its proposed fresh issue with no offer for sale. A well-received issue at a valuation that investors find attractive will reinforce confidence across the IPO pipeline," he said.
