The primary market is poised for another action-packed week, with 11 main-board companies, including Rentomojo, Karamtara Engineering and Kanohar Electricals, set to raise Rs 7,055 crore through initial public offerings (IPOs).
The IPOs are scheduled to hit the market between September 7 and September 15, with most of the issues opening for subscription on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“This multi-issue rush reflects an eagerness to lock in early-stage growth equity in young companies as all these companies are below USD 1 billion market cap at listing,” Rajkumar Rathi, Chief Investment Officer at YES Securities, said.
The companies tapping the primary market include real estate developers, engineering and manufacturing firms, a payments and identity solutions provider, a specialty chemicals manufacturer and an online rental platform.
Of Rs 7,055 crore, Rs 2,722 crore (39 per cent) is primary capital issuance, where funds go into the company, and Rs 4,333 crore (61 per cent) is a secondary sale by existing shareholders. This mobilisation highlights strong corporate confidence and robust liquidity available within the Indian primary market, Rathi said.
The funds raised through the fresh issues will largely be utilised for business expansion, capital expenditure, debt repayment, working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.
The upcoming IPO rush follows a busy start to September, with Rays of Belief and Deepa Jewellers already launching their IPOs on September 1. With these issues, the number of companies launching IPOs in 2026 is expected to rise to 75. This includes 23 issues launched in August.
Against this backdrop, Pranav Constructions will be the first among the 11 companies to open its IPO for public subscription on September 7. The over Rs 351-crore issue will close on September 9.
This will be followed by Kanohar Electricals, Prasol Chemicals and Glass Wall Systems (India), which will open their IPOs on September 8. Rentomojo, Manipal Payment and Identity Solutions, Arcil, LCC Projects, Karamtara Engineering and Steamhouse India will launch their issues on September 9, while Veegaland Developers will open its IPO on September 10.
