Overview
22 May , 2025 Indian IPO Market picks up.
With seven businesses launching initial public offerings (IPOs) in May and more scheduled for June, India’s primary equity market is bouncing back after a three-month hiatus.

Mumbai: The Indian equities capital primary market is beginning to recover after a three-month hiatus. In May, seven businesses will make their first public offerings (IPOs), and ten or twelve more are scheduled to do the same in June. The start date of Schloss Bangalore’s ₹3,500-crore initial public offering (IPO) was revealed on Wednesday. Schloss Bangalore is the operator of The Leela luxury hotels. The schedule was also released by Aegis Vopak Terminals, which owns and runs storage facilities for liquid commodities, including liquefied petroleum gas.

Indian IPO Market Picks Up Pace in May as Investor Sentiment Rebounds
With a surge of new listings and increased investor interest indicating a positive change in market sentiment, the Indian IPO market made a strong return in May 2025. Businesses are once again turning to the equity markets with increased confidence following a rather subdued start to the year, and investors are flocking in.
More than a dozen businesses, including consumer brands, NBFCs, specialty chemical companies, and tech startups, entered the primary market in May alone. Market observers claim that a number of variables, such as a more stable macroeconomic outlook, strong domestic liquidity, and optimism regarding India’s economic growth trajectory, have contributed to the resurgence.
XYZ Fintech Solutions’ IPO, which was oversubscribed by almost 40 times, was one of the most anticipated this month. The business, which is well-known for its cutting-edge digital payment solutions, raised more than ₹2,000 crore and made a high-profile debut on listing day. Riding the green energy wave, GreenSol Energy, a player in renewable energy, received positive feedback from institutional and individual investors.
According to market analysts, this increase is indicative of a larger pattern of rising retail engagement. “With interest rates expected to stay stable and inflation showing signs of moderation, investors are searching for growth opportunities, and initial public offerings (IPOs) provide just that,” stated Mumbai-based market strategist Ramesh Mehta.
Furthermore, a number of businesses have accelerated their plans as a result of the success of recent listings. In the last two months, about 30 businesses have submitted draft papers to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), suggesting a robust pipeline for the upcoming quarter.
Experts advise caution, though. Even while there is genuine excitement, not all initial public offerings (IPOs) will have successful post-listing outcomes. Rather than following the hype, investors should carefully consider the fundamentals, according to financial counselor Anjali Rao.
In the future, June and July should continue to be busy months with new listings in a variety of industries, including e-commerce, logistics, and healthcare. India’s IPO market may be preparing for one of its best years since 2021, provided that market circumstances continue to be supportive and global volatility is kept under control.
With the IPO hype returning and investors keen to place bets on India’s upcoming growth stories, May has so far unmistakably marked a turning point.
