India’s IPO market has seen an extraordinary year, raising record amounts of capital, buoyed by strong investor demand and impressive post-listing performance.
The surge in activity has been marked by a mix of large players like Swiggy, Hyundai, Bajaj Housing Finance, and NTPC Green entering the fray.
Over 80 companies were listed on the mainboard during the year with most listing in the green.

According to a report by Motilal Oswal, the absolute contribution this year marks the highest ever, though 2017 and 2019 recorded higher percentage contributions of 3.7% and 3.4%, respectively.
IPO fundraising in 2024 totalled ₹1.8 lakh crore, 2.6 times the ₹57,600 crore raised in 2023.
