India could potentially raise around ₹2 lakh crore through IPOs going ahead, with the primary market already raising ₹60,000 crore in FY2026-27, SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said.

FY27 and FY2026

SEBI reported ₹2 lakh crore and ₹60,000 crore for FY27, with movement of 55% attached to those lines. Those are the figures as filed — what moves the price is how they sit against what the market already expected, not their absolute size.

Because the driver here is macro rather than company-specific, the read-through is to index-level positioning rather than to any single name — correlations tend to rise when the whole market faces the same signal.

  • With SEBI involved, this carries a regulatory dimension that can outlast the immediate market reaction.
  • This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
