Seven companies to launch IPOs next week, raise over ₹6,400 crore
When a company wants to grow, it can sell pieces of itself to people.
This is called an IPO.
Next week, many companies in India will do this at the same time.
Seven companies will offer their pieces to buyers and hope to collect over ₹6,400 crore.
A big industrial parks company will try to collect ₹2,600 crore.
A jewellery company will try to collect ₹1,700 crore.
Some other companies, like a movie company and a jewellery company, will also be selling pieces.
There is also a company that manages money and one that makes tools.
Two smaller companies will also join in.
Some of the pieces will be old ones owned by the companies' founders, and some will be new.
The companies want this money to pay off loans and grow their businesses.
This is a very busy week for companies going public in India.
Seven companies plan to launch IPOs next week, aiming to raise more than ₹6,400 crore, with the rush beginning August 17.
Blackstone-backed Horizon Industrial Parks will launch the week's largest IPO worth ₹2,600 crore, entirely a fresh issue at ₹57-60 per share, mainly to repay borrowings.
Jewellery retailer Lalithaa Jewellery Mart will raise ₹1,700 crore at ₹190-201 per share, including a ₹1,200-crore fresh issue and ₹500-crore offer for sale (OFS).
Shankesh Jewellers (₹367 crore) and Sunshine Pictures (₹282 crore) will open on August 18, followed by Gaja Alternative Asset Management (₹550 crore) on August 19.
