In the first week of August, four companies launched IPOs worth over Rs 11,850 crore, and they were all successful. This trend looks set to continue, with 25 more companies, already approved by the SEBI, planning to enter the market to raise about Rs 22,000 crore in the coming few weeks," said a note by Pantomath Capital Advisors, a mid-market investment bank.
Hyundai Motors India, Afcons Infrastructure, National Securities Depository Limited(NSDL), Waaree Energies are some of the big IPOs awaiting Sebi clearance.
In light of bumper listing by Ola Electric, companies with bigger fundraise plans are likely to expedite their plans to file the offer documents.
Last week JSW Cement filed draft red herring prospectus for Rs 4,000 crore IPO while Ecom Express filed offer document for Rs 2600 crore IPO.

Market conditions are also conducive for bigger fundraise with elections getting completed, a good monsoon in progress and interest rate cycle ready for downward revision.

Large corporates like Reliance Industries, Tata Sons, Adani Group, Aditya Birla, JSW Group among others have incubated new businesses which are either now ready for listing or will be needing funds for growth and expansion and will go for listing very soon.
