Upcoming IPO in India - More than 90 IPOs will come in 2025, the size will be more than Rs 1 lakh crore

Upcoming IPO in India: The phase of IPO (Initial Public Offering) has been going on continuously in the Indian stock market in recent years. This trend does not seem to stop even in 2025. According to Sundararaman Ramamurthy, CEO of Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), more than 90 companies have applied for IPO this year. There is a plan to raise capital of Rs 1 lakh crore through these companies.

Expectation to raise capital of more than 1 lakh crore in 2025

On the basis of the draft papers filed at present, it is estimated that an amount of Rs 1 lakh crore can be raised through IPO. Also, it is likely that by the end of the year many more companies will launch their IPOs. This makes it clear that investors' interest in the Indian stock market will remain in 2025 as well.

Record capital raised from IPO in 2024

Last year i.e. in 2024, a total of 91 companies launched IPOs on BSE and National Stock Exchange (NSE). These companies raised capital of about Rs 1.6 lakh crore, which was the largest figure till date. According to Prime Database, the total public equity fund raised doubled to Rs 3.73 lakh crore in 2024. With this record level of capital raised, it is clear that the demand for IPOs is increasing rapidly in the Indian market.

Trend of increasing Offer for Sale (OFS) in IPOs

BSE CEO Sundararaman Ramamurthy said that the percentage of Offer for Sale (OFS) has increased significantly in recent IPOs. In OFS, companies sell the shares of existing shareholders and do not issue new shares. Ramamurthy wants companies to raise more capital by issuing new shares through IPO, so that liquidity remains in the market.

BSE's bumper earnings

BSE is also earning huge revenue from listing fees. According to data from East India Securities, in the first half of FY 2024-25, BSE earned Rs 1.57 billion through listing fees. This figure is much higher than last year's Rs 1.3 billion.

Impact of new rules

However, due to the new rules implemented for derivative trading in the Indian stock market, there may be some decline in the earnings from IPOs. Due to these stringent rules from September 2024, derivative trading has declined by 40 percent, while the premium has decreased by 15-20 percent.

BSE's new plans: How will the income increase?

BSE is working on several new plans to increase its sources of income. These include expansion of index services. BSE has recently launched 15 new indices. Apart from this, there are plans to expand the co-location service to promote high-frequency trading and algorithmic trading. This may further increase the income of BSE.

Conclusion

The IPO phase in the Indian stock market is expected to continue in 2025 as well. The market remains positive due to the increasing interest of investors and plans of companies to raise new capital. Although the new rules implemented for derivative trading may have some effect, BSE is taking new steps to increase its income. In the coming time, even bigger opportunities may open up in the Indian stock market, which will keep the market strong.
