India's 2025 IPO Market Hits Record High
In 2025, many companies in India raised a lot of money by selling shares to the public for the first time.
This is called an IPO.
They raised a record amount of ₹1.71 lakh crore through 103 IPOs.
Many startups, like Lenskart and Groww, also went public and raised over ₹41,000 crore.
This was a big increase from the previous year.
Most of the money came from a type of fundraising called Offer for Sale, which made up 63% of the total.
People were excited to invest because they believed these companies would do well in the future.
Additionally, many employees who had stock options in these startups were able to cash them in for real money, which was a big deal for them.
Indian companies raised a record ₹1.71 lakh crore through 103 IPOs in 2025.
18 startups, including Lenskart and Groww, went public, raising over ₹41,000 crore.
