Over a dozen companies are preparing IPOs in the second half of September expected to raise nearly ₹10,000 crore, riding on strong retail demand.

Supportive policy reforms and easier IPO/market norms are boosting confidence among issuers and investors alike. 

The upcoming GST reform and price/tax relief measures are seen as tailwinds for consumer sentiment, helping IPO prospects. 

Retail participation has been strong, and many small investors are eager to enter via new listings ahead of the festive season. 

IPO pipeline includes firms from diverse sectors, indicating broad interest across industries. 

Investors will monitor pricing, valuation, and post-listing performance carefully given heightened uncertainty in other parts of markets. 

If deals succeed, they could inject fresh liquidity into equity markets, helping counterbalance FPI outflows. 

Underwriters and merchant bankers are likely to be selective, given volatile macro indicators. 

IPO success may also depend on how quickly reforms are implemented and how clear communication is from regulators.

Overall, the IPO wave appears to be one of the few bright spots amid mixed economic signals.
