New Delhi — The Indian primary market is gearing up for a blockbuster week as initial public offerings (IPOs) worth more than ₹28,000 crore are set to open, with investors lining up for big-ticket opportunities.
Around five companies will hit the market next week, while as many as 29 firms — including both mainboard and SMEs — are scheduled to debut on domestic exchanges.
Leading the pack is Tata Capital, the non-banking financial arm of the Tata Group, which will launch its IPO from October 6–8, targeting a massive ₹15,500 crore. The offering comprises 21 crore fresh shares and 26.58 crore shares under offer-for-sale (OFS), with a fixed price band of ₹310–₹326. This marks the largest IPO of 2025 so far.
Adding to the buzz, LG Electronics India, the local arm of South Korea’s LG, will float its IPO between October 7–9, aiming to raise ₹11,607 crore. The entire issue will be an OFS, with the parent company offloading 10.18 crore shares at a price band of ₹1,080–₹1,140.
Together, Tata Capital and LG Electronics India will account for a whopping ₹27,107 crore of next week’s fundraising spree. Alongside, multiple SME IPOs will further expand the market activity.
So far in 2025, companies have already raised nearly ₹85,000 crore through 74 mainboard IPOs till September. With October’s offerings, the total proceeds are expected to cross the ₹1 lakh crore milestone for only the third time in history — after 2021 (₹1.19 lakh crore from 63 IPOs) and 2024 (₹1.6 lakh crore from 91 IPOs).
Market analysts predict that 2025 could surpass all previous records, making it one of the strongest years ever for IPO fundraising in India.
