The Indian primary market is poised for an exceptionally active period, with a flurry of new public offerings scheduled to launch. The coming week is set to witness a total of thirteen new initial public offerings (IPOs) across both the mainboard and the small and medium enterprise (SME) segments, marking one of the busiest periods for new listings.
A Packed Mainboard IPO Pipeline
Investor attention will be divided among several key mainboard IPOs opening for subscription. The Wakefit Innovations IPO will be the first to open, with its subscription window running from December 8 to December 10. The company has set a price band of ₹185 to ₹195 per share for its public issue.
Following closely, the much-anticipated ICICI Prudential Asset Management Company IPO is scheduled to open for bidding on December 12, closing on December 16. The price band for this financial services giant's offering is yet to be announced. Other notable mainboard IPOs entering the pipeline include those from Corona Remedies, Park Medi World, and Nephrocare Health Services.
SME Segment Sees Frenetic Activity
The SME IPO arena is equally vibrant, with multiple companies looking to tap into public markets. A cluster of SME IPOs, including Riddhi Display Equipments, Prodocs Solutions, and K.V. Toys India, will open on December 8 and conclude on December 10.
The activity continues through the week with Shipwaves Online and Unisem Agritech IPOs opening on December 10 (closing December 12), followed by HRS Aluglaze and Pajson Agro India on December 11 (closing December 15). The Ashwini Container Movers IPO will round off the week, opening on December 12 and closing on December 16.
Record Fundraising and a Robust Pipeline
This surge in IPO activity aligns with a strong year for the Indian capital markets. Prasenjit Paul, a SEBI-registered equity analyst and founder of Paul Asset, highlighted the impressive trend. He noted that listed IPOs in 2025 have already raised approximately ₹85,000 crore, positioning India as the fourth-largest global IPO fundraising market this year, despite macroeconomic volatility.
Paul further pointed to a solid pipeline of companies waiting for the right window, citing that 118 firms filed Draft Red Herring Prospectuses (DRHPs) in just the first half of 2025. This figure is more than double the count from the same period a year ago, signaling strong issuer confidence.
New Listings Add to the Excitement
Beyond new subscriptions, the secondary market will also see several debuts. From the mainboard segment, the listings of Meesho, Aequs, and Vidya Wires are anticipated in the coming week.
The SME segment is set for an even bigger splash, with around 13 companies making their stock market debut. Key listings include Astron Multigrain, Invicta Diagnostic, Speb Adhesives, Clear Secured Services, and Ravelcare on Monday, December 8. The listings of Neochem Bio Solutions and Helloji Holidays are scheduled for Tuesday, December 9.
