Jio Platforms, Zetwerk Lead Dozen October IPOs in India
About twelve companies in India plan to sell shares to the public in October.
This kind of share sale is called an IPO.
The companies work in areas such as technology, healthcare, clean energy, defence and manufacturing.
Some will issue new shares to raise money for their businesses, while some current owners will sell shares.
Jio Platforms is expected to have the biggest IPO India has seen so far.
Zetwerk plans to raise about ₹5,000 crore.
Companies have already raised more than ₹1.1 lakh crore through IPOs in 2026.
An expert says investors are looking closely at prices, business performance and good company oversight.
Twelve companies, including Jio Platforms, Zetwerk and Avaada Electro, are preparing IPOs in India in October.
The offerings span technology, healthcare, renewable energy, defence and precision manufacturing, and combine fresh issues with offers for sale.
Companies raised more than ₹1.1 lakh crore through 96 IPOs in 2026 so far, including 35 in September.
Jio Platforms is scheduled to open its IPO October 21–23 and is expected to be India’s largest to date; Zetwerk plans to raise about ₹5,000 crore.
JM Financial’s Neha Agarwal says investors are increasingly focused on valuation, earnings visibility, governance and capital efficiency.

Market opportunity
Investor and market risks
Capacity to absorb offerings
Market opportunity
Neha Agarwal says domestic liquidity, selective foreign capital and underlying demand for quality offerings can support multiple large IPOs, given disciplined pricing.
Investor and market risks
Secondary-market volatility and geopolitical developments could lead companies to adjust launch timing and may affect investor subscriptions.
Offer-for-sale transactions
Market opportunity
Agarwal says promoter or early-investor dilution is not necessarily a concern; OFS transactions can let investors realise gains after businesses have scaled.
Investor and market risks
Investor response depends on operating track records, industry prospects and whether valuations leave enough potential upside for public-market investors.
