IPO GMPs: It appears that a wave of initial public offerings has gathered in the D-Street, adding vibrancy with a mix of smaller and larger IPOs. Leela Hotels IPO and Aegis Vopak Terminals IPO, which opened today, have started off slowly but steadily. With more days ahead, there is a strong possibility for these IPOs to succeed in a generally positive market. As overall sentiment improves, investors have begun to enthusiastically subscribe to IPOs. Last week, two IPOs that concluded, Borana Weaves IPO, was subscribed an impressive 148.77 times by the final day of bidding on Thursday, while Belrise Industries IPO was subscribed 41.30 times.
According to a report by Bajaj Broking, the Indian primary market is experiencing a significant resurgence this month, with seven prominent IPOs entering the market and many more anticipated for June. This increase indicates a revival in investor confidence, bolstered by stable macroeconomic factors and strong performance in the secondary market.
What stands out is the wide range of sectors represented — including auto components, hospitality, infrastructure, and textiles — reflecting a general optimism among corporations. There is substantial participation from large institutions and favorable grey market premiums, indicating that both retail and HNI investors are actively involved in these new offerings.
If this trend continues, we may be witnessing one of the most robust quarters for primary markets in recent times.
