Tata Technologies leads as five IPOs attract ₹2.6 lakh crore By Investing.com

The Indian stock market has witnessed a whirlwind of activity with five initial public offerings (IPOs) making headlines, culminating in a collective bid of ₹2.6 lakh crore (approx. $11.9 billion). At the forefront of this IPO rush is Tata Technologies, marking the Tata Group’s first public offering in nearly two decades. The engineering and product development digital services company’s shares were in high demand, with bids totaling ₹1.56 lakh crore at an issue price of ₹500 per share, translating to an oversubscription by sixty-nine times.

Joining Tata Technologies in the investor spotlight were Flair Writing Industries, which saw its shares oversubscribed by forty-seven times at an issue price of ₹304 per share, and Gandhar Oil Refinery, which was oversubscribed by sixty-four times. Meanwhile, Fedbank Financial Services achieved full subscription and IREDA was oversubscribed by thirty-nine times.

This surge in IPO activity comes after Zerodha’s co-founder Nithin Kamath praised the recent regulatory changes that have reduced the listing time from T+16 to T+3 days following an IPO, as per Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulations implemented since September 2023. These changes have allowed for a quicker settlement time post-IPO, which Kamath lauded as a significant advancement in India’s capital market regulations.

In addition to these major listings on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE), Rockingdeals Circular Economy’s SME IPO on NSE Emerge stood out with an oversubscription by one hundred forty-four times against its issue size. This level of investor enthusiasm demonstrates confidence in the market and highlights the continued interest from institutional investors who benefit from non-displacement of funds during the allotment phase.
