Indian IPO market activity

Overview

In August 2026, the Indian primary market saw significant activity from industrial and jewellery sectors. Horizon Industrial Parks, backed by the Blackstone Group, opened bidding on August 17 with a goal to raise Rs 2,600 crore, primarily for debt repayment.

Lalithaa Jewellery Mart sought to mobilise Rs 1,700 crore through a combination of fresh shares and an offer for sale. By August 24, the company completed its market debut, with shares listing at a premium of approximately 32% over the upper IPO price. On the National Stock Exchange, the stock listed at ₹265. Despite a subscription rate of 62.97 times, analysts highlighted risks such as an inventory-heavy model, negative operating cash flow, and a ₹1,066-crore GST dispute. Lalithaa Jewellery plans to use approximately ₹1,014.5 crore of its proceeds to expand its store network.

Following these developments, the jewellery sector continues to see IPO activity. Deepa Jewellers Limited has announced its maiden IPO, scheduled to open on September 1, 2026, with a price band of Rs 168 to Rs 177 per share. The company intends to use the fresh issue of up to Rs 2,500 million to fund long-term working capital for inventory procurement and scaling.
