Companies are utilizing these IPOs for various purposes, including:

Expanding operations
Reducing debt
Supporting working capital needs
Providing exit routes for existing shareholders
Performance of Recent IPOs
This year, 62 companies, including Bajaj Housing Finance, ola Electric Mobility, and Brainbees Solutions (parent of FirstCry), have collectively raised around ₹64,000 crore through the mainboard market. This figure marks a 29% increase from ₹49,436 crore collected by 57 firms in 2023.

Outlook for 2025
Looking ahead, the IPO market in 2025 appears optimistic. The Securities and Exchange Board of india (Sebi) has already approved 22 IPOs, with companies planning to raise approximately ₹25,000 crore. Additionally, more than 50 firms have submitted draft papers for approval, aiming for a total raise exceeding ₹1 lakh crore.
