IPO pipeline for FY24 remains strong, 54 firms likely to raise ₹76,189 cr
The financial year FY24 is just around the corner and the pipeline for the initial public offering (IPO) market looks strong. Prime Database on Thursday said, 54 companies proposing to raise a huge ₹76,189 crore are presently holding SEBI approval. Also, another 19 companies are awaiting the market watchdog’s approval while looking to raise ₹32,940 crore.
As per the Prime Database, out of these 3 companies, 4 are NATCs which are looking to raise roughly ₹8,100 crore.
Pranav Haldea, Managing Director, of PRIME Database Group said, “though, with weakness still prevailing in the secondary market, because of a combination of domestic and foreign factors, IPO activity is likely to remain muted for the first couple of quarters.”
Haldea added, “we may see some smaller-sized IPOs. However, it will be a while before we see larger sized deals, especially in light of lack of sustained interest from FPIs.”
Prime Database also revealed that during the financial year 2022-23, 68 companies filed their offer document with SEBI for approval (in comparison to 144 in 2021-22) including the first ‘pre-filing’ case of Tata Play in December 2022. On the other hand, 37 companies looking to raise nearly ₹52,060 crore let their approval lapse in 2022-23, 12 companies looking to raise ₹10,386 crore withdrew their offer document and SEBI returned the offer document of a further 9 companies looking to raise ₹20,330 crore.
Overall, in FY23, a total of 37 companies launched their IPO to raise ₹52,116 crore — halved as against fundraising of all-time high of ₹1,11,547 crore with 53 IPOs in FY22.
