Share Market News: Despite a slow start to the year 2025, the Indian primary market now seems to be gaining momentum. According to merchant bankers, more than a dozen companies are planning to bring their initial public offering (IPO) in the coming three to six months. This boom is believed to be a result of the return of stability in the secondary market and reduction in global geopolitical tensions.Preparations of major companies in full swingCompanies that have taken steps towards bringing IPOs include names like HDFC Bank subsidiary HDB Financial Services, National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), Kalpataru, Rubicon Research, All Time Plastics, Regreen-Excel EPC India, and Paramesu Biotech. These companies mainly want to raise funds for their expansion, debt repayment and other general corporate needs.Other big companies also in the queueApart from these, Credila, SK Finance, Veritas Finance, Paras Healthcare, CIEL HR Services, Avanse Financial Services, Drof-Kettle Chemicals India, Brigade Hotel Ventures, and Shreeji Shipping have also received SEBI approval and may enter the market soon.IPO activity has remained slow so far in 2025Although recent activities have increased enthusiasm, the IPO market has remained relatively slow so far in the year 2025. So far this year, only 16 companies have been able to bring IPO, whereas in the same period last year this number was 29. Only six major IPOs came in the last quarter, of which the IPO of Schloss Bangalore, owner of luxury hotel chain 'The Leela', was prominent.Volatility responsible for the slowdownAccording to experts, investors remained cautious due to global economic uncertainty, domestic election environment, and possible changes in the policy of the Federal Reserve, due to which IPO activity remained slow. But now with the return of stability in the market and improvement in investor sentiment, the confidence of companies in raising capital has increased again.
