Market Status

Merchant bankers report that several other companies, including AGS Health and Avaada Electro, are preparing for future IPOs. These entities are expected to announce price plans by November 5, ahead of the Labh Pancham period in Gujarat. So far in 2026, 104 companies have raised over Rs 1.4 lakh crore through public issues.

Why it matters: The continued volume of IPOs indicates sustained investor appetite in the Indian primary market. For international investors, this activity reflects broader liquidity and expansion trends in the region, as companies raise capital for debt reduction and business operations.
