Indian IPO market hits record ₹46,000 crore in October on 14 new listings

India’s mainboard IPO market recorded its busiest month ever in October 2025, with 14 companies raising a total of around ₹46,000 crore — surpassing last year’s October high of ₹38,690 crore. Key contributors included major issues from the financial and consumer sectors. The trend reflects strong domestic investor demand, ample liquidity and issuer confidence, even as global macro risks persist. Meanwhile, SME-IPO activity lagged significantly, with only 6 small issues raising ₹219 crore this month. The pipeline remains heavy, pointing to a possible blockbuster November ahead.
