However, during the first half of this year, the number of IPOs decreased and it has come down to just 24 between January and June. This was 36 IPO number between January and June of 2024, ie 2024. Obviously, these data shows that the average size of the IPO has increased.
IPO market expected to strengthen
Market experts believe that investors are expected to be cautious of the IPO market during the second half of FY 2025 on the basis of positive trends, the possibility of strong growth and strong flow of domestic investment.
Neha Aggarwal, Managing Director and Chief Equity Capital Markets of JM Financial Institutional Securities, says that in the first half of the year, the perception of the market has been affected due to global trade tension, geopolitical uncertainties and comprehensive economic challenges in the first half of the year. However, despite these concerns, companies have raised more than Rs 45,000 crore through the IPO during this period.

During January-June, 2025, 24 main exchange IPOs came out of which 67% were listed with an increase at the issue price.
