India's Initial Public Offering (IPO) market continues to demonstrate resilience, securing a 22 per cent share of global IPO activity in the first quarter of 2025, according to the Q1 2025 IPO Trends Report by EY.
With 62 IPOs raising a total of USD 2.8 billion, India remains a leading destination for companies seeking to go public, even amidst a backdrop of global market uncertainties.
As per the EY report, the largest IPO during this period was by Hexaware Technologies Ltd., which successfully raised USD 1.0 billion, highlighting the ongoing demand for technology-related offerings in the Indian market.

Prashant Singhal, Partner and Markets Leader, EY India, stated, "While the impressive IPO proceeds in Q1 2025 highlight the strength of India's capital markets, the record-breaking Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) market further demonstrates its maturity. Q1 2025 saw all-time high M&A deal volumes with transactions valued at billions of dollars, reflecting strong investor confidence and strategic investments."
"This M&A surge, driven by domestic activity and international interest, complements the IPO market, showcasing a healthy and dynamic Indian financial landscape. We anticipate continued momentum in both public and private markets as companies pursue growth," he added.
According to the report India secured a 22 per cent share of global IPO activity in the first quarter of 2025, with 62 IPOs raised USD 2.8 billion, showcasing continued interest from investors.
The EY report highlights that the IPO landscape in India remains diverse, with significant activity across sectors such as Industrials, Real Estate, Hospitality & Construction, and Health & Life Sciences.
The health sector, in particular, recorded notable growth, with a substantial increase in the IPO pipeline. Despite the mixed performance in completed listings, the strong fundamentals of many companies are expected to attract investor interest.
India's dynamic stock market, coupled with favourable economic indicators, continues to bolster investor confidence. The growing participation of retail investors is evident, as the market adapts to shifting dynamics and investor preferences.
Adarsh Ranka, Partner and Financial Accounting Advisory Services Leader, Indian member firm of EY Global, commented, "India's IPO market continues to be a beacon of resilience and growth. The strong performance in Q1 2025, despite global uncertainties, highlights the robust fundamentals and investor confidence in our market. We are optimistic that this momentum will carry forward, driven by supportive policies and a dynamic economic environment."
The EY report further states that the outlook for India's IPO market in 2025 appears promising, with a healthy pipeline of companies preparing to enter the market.
The resilience shown in Q1 2025 sets a positive tone for the remainder of the year, as companies continue to adapt to the evolving market landscape.

US-Nato's threat to Russian oil buyers masks a bid to check China and corner the arms market
Play ball, our way Nato secretary general Mark Rutte may have thought he would cause jitters in India, China and Russia if he spoke the strident language of Donald Trump. That he caused no disquiet was evident in the stock markets in India, China and the Western 'ordered' India, Brazil and China - all BRICS members - to stop buying Russian oil after Trump threatened to punish them for non-compliance by imposing an additional 100% tariff. Curiously, he omitted mentioning Turkiye, a Nato member, being the third-biggest importer of Russian crude after India and China. It is amazing that some of the best strategists in the Western world would come up with a simplistic solution for resolving the Ukraine crisis: provide Ukraine with top-notch weapons and weaken Russia by blocking oil exports. Choking distribution of Russian oil, which accounts for 15% of global supply, would shoot up international crude prices, possibly by 20-30% from the present level of $68 a barrel. Markets were indifferent because they knew that European countries, and even the US, would not seriously commit themselves to such self-harm. Though the EU has moved away from Russian oil, it still purchases 19% of its natural gas requirements from Russia. Trump, once wary of Ukraine aid and banking on Putin ties, flipped after Rutte dangled big US arms sales So, why should India, which saves more than $11 bn a year by buying discounted Russian oil, accept this 'diktat', which is equal to an additional tariff? Indian officials prefer to wait. An earlier statement by S Jaishankar after US senator Lindsey Graham proposed a 500% tariff on buyers of Russian oil is an indicator of New Delhi's thinking. 'So, we have been in touch with Senator Graham. Our concerns and our interests on energy security have been made conversant to him. So, we'll then have to cross that bridge when we come to it, if we come to it,' Jaishankar said earlier this has protested the move, while Russian leaders are literally joking about it. 'China believes dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solution to the Ukraine crisis. We categorically oppose all illegal unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction,' Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday. 'Coercion and pressure cannot resolve fundamental issues.'Trump, who consistently opposed high-spend support for Ukraine, and relied on his 'friendship' with Vladimir Putin to resolve the crisis, made a volte-face, offering top-notch military equipment to Kyiv. Some commentators have credited Rutte for bringing about this change by enticing Trump with promises of higher sales of US-made military there is more to it. Trump, and a section of European leaders, have been looking for ways to keep Beijing under pressure as they find Chinese companies surging ahead of Western businesses in sales and innovation. Cutting off Russian oil supplies could be a good way to force China, the biggest oil buyer, to pay more while weakening a supposed India-Russia-China 'alliance'.They are also hassled by the expansion and rising clout of BRICS, which Trump recently described as an 'anti-American' group. He takes the de-dollarisation threat more seriously than some BRICS members like India. The fact that the Russian economy has survived nearly four years of, in Putin's words, a 'special military operation' is seen by many as a direct affront to the supposed power of economic sanctions and Western plans to weaken the nation. India and China are blamed in some quarters for Russia's is the second-biggest arms buyer in the world after Ukraine. Russia remains the largest arms supplier, meeting 36% of India's arms requirements - though the number has declined from 72% during 2010-14, suggesting major changes in GoI's approach on the issue. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri), 'India is shifting its arms supply relations towards Western suppliers, most notably France, Israel and the US.'A key element in the growth of the defence industry is the existence of enemies and threat perception. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and, to a smaller extent, India help to meet this requirement for Western defence manufacturers. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are the third- and fourth-biggest buyers, mainly because of the threat perception from recently said that his success in persuading European countries to spend 5% of their GDP on defence has thrown up a potential market of $1 tn for the sector. It is obvious that American defence companies and politicians do not want China to start bidding for a piece of the new market by offering discounted rates. They don't want to share the fate of US construction and railroad companies, which failed to stop Chinese players from penetrating parts of Europe over the past also want a share of the Indian defence market, even if it's necessary to ensure continued discord between Asian neighbours, India, Pakistan and China. Trump's repeated claims about ending the recent India-Pakistan conflict should be seen in this the goals set out by the Trump-Nato combine cover several aspects other than oil. They include countering China's influence, weakening BRICS and enlarging the market potential of Western arms producers. The question is whether it will succeed in bringing India closer to the West (read: the US). Or, make New Delhi and Beijing strange tactical bedfellows.
