MUMBAI: India, which has emerged as the second-largest IPO market on the world league table, has raised $4 billion so far this year. With NDA returning to form the next govt, hopes of policy continuity should extend the IPO boom throughout the rest of 2024.
The $4 billion raised by India is about 45% less than what it collected in all of 2023, LSEG data shows, but outperforms China ($3 billion) and Saudi Arabia ($2.1 billion).The number is also higher than the combined amount raised in Turkey, Hong Kong and South Korea. The US is the largest IPO market, having raised $14 billion so far in 2024, according to LSEG. From number 11 in 2019, India secured the third place globally in terms of IPO proceeds after the US and China in 2023.
