Deep Dive – India’s Red-Hot IPO Market

October is shaping up to be a defining month for India’s primary markets, with fundraising volumes expected to reach historic levels. The surge is supported by strong domestic liquidity, steady SIP inflows, regulatory easing, and the entry of large, established companies into public markets.

Domestic mutual funds continue to play a stabilising role, absorbing supply even as foreign flows remain selective. This structural support has allowed India to outperform many Asian peers in primary market activity despite mixed global equity trends.

What to Watch Today

• IPO subscription trends for LG Electronics India and Tata Capital
• Corporate developments following major deal announcements
• Global market direction and its influence on domestic risk appetite
