QIP, IPO pipeline strong as equity market momentum continues: Experts

"So far, we have primarily witnessed blocks and QIPs. There have been quite a few blocks that have taken place, but only five IPOs. However, this trend is expected to change, and we anticipate a significant increase in IPO activity. Nevertheless, it is unlikely to be as frenzied as it was in December 2021, where we completed nine deals alone. Therefore, we can expect a healthier market, with good companies and valuations finding interested buyers. Across sectors, such as capital goods, engineering, healthcare, and BFSI, there are numerous companies that have received SEBI clearance and are ready to enter the market."

Negandhi also emphasised that the current market conditions should not be misconstrued as a hyper-bull market with excessive deal activity. He believes that the returns investors have gained in the past three months, particularly in primary market deals, will drive their interest in new opportunities.

A Balasubramanian, highlighted that the recent surge in deals reflects an increased appetite for Indian investments and a positive sentiment prevailing in the market. Compared to other emerging markets, India has become a preferred destination for global investors, attracting significant flows into the equity market.
