H1 digest: India’s IPO market bucks weak equities as domestic capital steps up
Indian markets moved higher in an ipo & listings development for FY27.
30 Sept 2026 · LiveMint Markets
As many as 78 companies listed on the mainboard in the first half of FY27 (April-September), up from 65 in the year-ago period. The average issue size rose 12% year-on-year to more than ₹1,200 crore.
Key facts
- Period
- FY27
The analysis
Listing activity is a read on risk appetite — a hot primary market usually means a confident secondary one.
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.
Market context
- This is a market-wide development — its reach goes beyond any single stock.
