India's
IPO market
had a slow start to the year after companies raised a record $21 billion in 2024. But activity has picked up in recent months. A number of billion-dollar deals are on their way, with this month's solid debut by
HDB Financial Services Ltd.
also boosting sentiment. The shadow lender's $1.5 billion IPO was India's biggest in 2025.
Overall IPO proceeds for this year stand at $7 billion, and Jefferies Financial Group expects up to $18 billion to be raised in the second half.
'It's a reflection of our large, fast-growing economy,' Jayasankar said. 'Even if GDP isn't expanding at 8%, a 6%-plus growth rate still creates significant opportunities for businesses,' he said.

Among firms gearing up to enter the market,
Tata Capital Ltd.
is planning to raise about $2 billion. The Indian unit of South Korea's LG Electronics Inc. is also looking to raise as much as $1.7 billion.
While Jayasankar counted India's resilience to external geopolitical uncertainties as well as political stability among factors that should continue to underpin the bullish market sentiment, he also highlighted potential headwinds. A weak secondary market, declining domestic inflows, or a shift in foreign investor interest toward more attractively valued markets like China could challenge the
IPO momentum
, he said.

Bharti Airtel Q1 results preview Bharti Airtel is expected to post healthy earnings for the June quarter of FY26 (Q1FY26), driven by strong subscriber additions and a rise in average revenue per user (Arpu), according to analysts. While the telecom major's mobile wireless business is likely to report steady growth, the enterprise segment is projected to see a decline during the quarter.

Rupee at risk of lifetime low after Trump ups tariff threat on India
MUMBAI, August 5 (Reuters) -The Indian rupee may drop past 88 to the U.S. dollar to an all-time low on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened steeper tariffs on Indian goods, worsening fragile sentiment and stoking concerns of more foreign outflows. The 1-month non-deliverable forward indicated the rupee will open in the 88.00 to 88.04 range versus the U.S. dollar, down from 87.6550 on Monday. The rupee's previous record low was 87.95, touched in February. Trump again threatened to substantially raise tariffs on Indian goods, citing India's continued purchases and resale of Russian oil. India's foreign ministry responded, saying it will take all necessary steps to protect its national interests and economic security. "Whether these barrage of comments are mainly negotiating tactics against India to partly prod for changes in the Russia-Ukraine war remains to be seen," MUFG Bank said in a note. Trump had already imposed higher-than-expected 25% tariffs on Indian imports last week, while U.S. officials continue to highlight multiple hurdles that are delaying a trade deal with India. Sentiment on the rupee has been fragile due to the hefty tariffs on Indian goods. On Monday, the pressure intensified, with the rupee falling despite the dollar weakening broadly. On Monday, the rupee failed to hold on to an intraday recovery to near 87.20. "Today was already shaping up to be a difficult session (for the rupee), and Trump's latest tariff threat only amplified the pressure,' a senior trader at a private bank said. "I'd fully expect the Reserve Bank of India to step in — they won't want to let the rupee depreciate unchecked, especially in the face of U.S. rhetoric." He warned that overseas outflows from Indian equities may gather pace in response to rising trade tensions with the U.S. KEY INDICATORS:** One-month non-deliverable rupee forward at 88.14; onshore one-month forward premium at 12 paise ** Dollar index up at 98.82 ** Brent crude futures down 0.1% at $68.7 per barrel ** Ten-year U.S. note yield at 4.2% ** As per NSDL data, foreign investors sold a net $165.5mln worth of Indian shares on Aug. 1 ** NSDL data shows foreign investors bought a net $223.7mln worth of Indian bonds on Aug. 1 (Reporting by Nimesh Vora; Editing by Mrigank Dhaniwala)

FPIs still drive stock prices despite holdings at decade-low levels
Despite foreign portfolio investors' (FPIs) holdings in Indian equities falling to a decade-low, they remain the most influential driver of stock prices. According to Prime Infobase, among seven key investor cohorts, companies that saw an increase in FPI holdings during the June 2025 quarter recorded the highest average gains—21.73 per cent. In contrast, stocks where FPIs reduced their stakes underperformed, with an average gain of just 16.9 per cent. Stocks that saw mutual funds (MFs) raise exposure posted average returns of 16.3 per cent, while those where they reduced their exposure edged higher by 17.2 per cent. Companies where Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) increased its holdings saw a more modest average rise of 9.4 per cent, while 88 stocks where LIC cut its stake rose 17.2 per cent. Market observers note that while FPIs' influence may be gradually waning amid surging domestic liquidity, they remain market movers and price-setters. In contrast, domestic institutional investors (DIIs) are largely viewed as price takers, contributing stability to the system. As of June 2025, FPIs' share in India's total market capitalisation dropped to 17.04 per cent—a 13-year low—from 17.22 per cent at the end of March 2025, even as net FPI inflows during the quarter stood at Rs 38,674 crore. Notable stocks that saw significant FPI inflows included Vishal Mega Mart (FPI holding up 582 basis points; share price up 28.5 per cent), South Indian Bank (FPI holdings up 562 bps; price up 33.5 per cent), and Paradeep Phosphates (FPI holdings up 680 bps; share price up 70 per cent). On the flip side, key stocks with the steepest decline in FPI holdings—such as Hi Tech Pipes (FPI cut 726 bps; stock down 1 per cent) and Balaxi Pharma (FPI cut 716 bps; stock down 22 per cent)—notably underperformed the market.
