GSP Crop Science IPO: The initial public offering (IPO) of GSP Crop Science, an agrochemical company, is set to hit the primary market on Monday, March 16. It will be the fifth mainboard IPO to open this month.
However, amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia, analysts caution that IPO activity could slow in 2026 unless market sentiment stabilises. The signs are beginning to show: Innovision has extended its IPO subscription period after receiving just 30% of bids over three days as of March 12 and has slashed the offer price.
SEDEMAC Mechatronics IPO was booked 2.68%, while Rajputana Stainless’ offer received 1.12 times bids, with the retail portion failing to sail through.
