India IPOs: Hype Fades, Investors Bruised
24 Feb
Summary
- Most Indian IPOs since 2024 have failed to make money.
- Only 35 of 198 IPOs have delivered sustained returns.
- The Indian IPO index has declined by 8% recently.

Many recent Indian initial public offerings (IPOs) have failed to live up to investor expectations. Since the start of 2024, 198 companies have gone public, but a significant number have seen their value diminish.
As of early 2026, only 64 of these IPOs are still trading above their initial offering price. Even more concerning, just 35 have managed to provide consistent returns to investors. The broader market sentiment towards these new listings is reflected in the S&P BSE IPO Index, which has fallen by 8% over the last six months.
