India’s stock market had a very busy year in 2025. Lots of new companies started trading on the main stock market. A total of 102 companies listed, and they raised a huge amount of money – about ₹1.8 trillion! This is a really good sign for the country’s economy.
Many of the new companies did well on their first day of trading. About 70% of them went up in price. Some companies, like Highway Infrastructure, Urban Company, and Meesho, jumped up a lot – over 60% – when they started trading. This shows investors were excited about these new businesses.
However, some companies didn’t do so well. Companies like Om Freight Forwarders and Glottis lost a lot of money on their first day. It’s important to remember that not all IPOs (Initial Public Offerings – when a company sells shares to the public for the first time) will be successful.
Experts say this busy market is happening because India has a lot of money and people are investing. Also, more and more people are using savings plans (SIPs) to invest. This makes it easier for companies to raise money, even when the stock market goes a little up and down.
Looking ahead to 2026, analysts think even more companies will go public. They predict around 190 to 200 companies could list, and they’ll raise over ₹2.5 trillion. Big companies like Reliance Jio Platforms and the National Stock Exchange are expected to go public, which will help attract more investors.
Investing in IPOs can be exciting but requires careful research and understanding of the risks involved.
