In September, 12 IPOs were launched in the mainboard segment and 40 in the SME segment. After this, the equity market has also improved when the October series started. Due to this, the primary market has also gained momentum. But, in the week starting from October 7, only two companies will bring IPOs.

Upcoming IPO: Nifty 5 fell nearly 5% from its record high in the October series so far. The reason for this is tension in the Middle East, rising oil prices and overvaluation. Apart from this, there is also a fear of money flowing between India and China due to increasing threats from China in September.

According to experts, sentiments may remain low in the short term. But they are hopeful of India's growth rate for medium to long term perspective. They recommend buying such big declines to gain benefits in the long term. Bearish environment Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services, said, "A bearish environment prevails, as investors are keeping an eye on the increasing fighting in the Middle East and have sold while adopting a recovery strategy. The market may fall amid rising crude oil prices and fund flow to cheaper markets like China." According to experts, despite short-term volatility, given the expectation of strong growth in the Indian economy, the growth of IPOs in India will continue in the medium to long term. Many initiatives will be taken by the government to maintain this growth. But he advised to focus on quality IPOs, which also includes IPOs of the MSE sector. 100 times subscription is not a big deal Green Portfolio founder Divyam Sharma said, "Strong perception of investors is being seen in the public issue market. The trend for IPOs has now become so excited that 100 times subscription is not a big deal. We think that bumper demand for IPOs will continue." According to Vipul Bhowar, Senior Director, Listed Investors at Waterfield Advisors, it is important to keep in mind that not all SMEs are the same. "This market includes companies with strong growth potential and others that may pose a risk to investors due to financial instability. Therefore, a balanced and careful approach is needed while doing SME evaluation in case of IPO."
