73% of SME IPOs in India gained since 2020
Since 2020, 73% of small and medium-sized company IPOs in India have made money on their first day of trading.
This means that if a company sells shares to the public for the first time, more than half of them have been worth more than the price they were sold for.
However, this trend has been slowing down, and in the first half of 2026, only half of the IPOs made money on their first day.
Despite this, companies are still raising a lot of money through IPOs.
Investors are now more interested in how well the companies are doing rather than just how much money they can make on the first day.
Some companies, like Merritronix and Winsol Engineers, have done really well, making a lot of money for their investors.
73.1% of SME IPOs in India since 2020 have delivered listing gains.
Listing gains have moderated to 50% in H1 CY2026.
Companies raised ₹3,752 crore through 78 SME IPOs in H1 CY2026.
Merritronix and Avience Biomedicals were the top listing gainers in Q2 CY2026 with 90% returns.
Winsol Engineers is the best-performing SME IPO since 2020 with 386.67% returns.
