Indian IPO market heads for busiest week with $1.7 billion in deals
India's primary market is set for its busiest period this year, with at least four companies planning to raise a total of about ₹150 billion ($1.7 billion) through initial public offerings next week.
Kalpataru Ltd., Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases Ltd., and Globe Civil Projects Ltd. will start share sale Tuesday. HDB Financial Services Ltd., a unit of India's biggest private lender HDFC Bank Ltd., is also planning to launch its $1.4 billion IPO Wednesday, Moneycontrol reported this week, citing people it didn't identify.
The offerings indicate share sales in India are bouncing back after a lull in the first quarter, helped by a 12 per cent rally in the benchmark NSE Nifty 50 Index from its March low. The Reserve Bank of India's cash infusions into the financial system and a surprise 50-basis-point rate cut this month are also spurring companies to speed up public listing plans.
'India's secondary market has rebounded in recent weeks, buoyed by strong liquidity. With a strong secondary market, IPOs fairly priced may see good demand from both domestic and foreign investors,' said V Jayasankar, managing director, Kotak Investment Banking.
HDB's IPO will be the largest offering in the nation's equity market since Hyundai Motor India Ltd.'s $3.3 billion deal last year. Industrial gas supplier Ellenbarrie is looking to raise as much as ₹8.52 billion , while Mumbai-based real estate developer Kalpataru is seeking to raise as much as ₹15.9 billion.

Apple's foldable iPhone could feature Samsung display, launch in 2026: Ming-Chi Kuo
Apple may finally be preparing to enter the foldable smartphone market, with production of its first foldable iPhone reportedly set to begin later this year. Renowned industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has suggested that Foxconn, a key Apple supplier, is gearing up to commence work on the much-anticipated device by the end of Q3 or the start of Q4 2025. While the Cupertino-based tech giant has not confirmed any plans for a foldable handset, Kuo's latest update indicates that Apple is moving steadily towards a 2026 launch. According to the analyst, the foldable iPhone is still in its early stages of development, with key component specifications—including the hinge mechanism—yet to be finalised. One of the most significant developments involves the display, which is expected to be manufactured by Samsung Display. The Korean company is reportedly preparing to produce between seven and eight million flexible panels for the device, though actual shipments in the launch year may fall short of this figure due to limited production time in 2026. Kuo believes Apple could be planning an initial order of 15 to 20 million foldable iPhones, aiming to meet demand across the product's anticipated two- to three-year lifecycle. Mass production is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with annual shipments projected to span into 2027 and 2028. While the final design remains under wraps, speculation suggests the device may adopt a book-style form factor, featuring a 5.5-inch external screen and a larger 7.8-inch inner display when unfolded. The foldable iPhone is also rumoured to include a robust metal hinge and could carry a hefty price tag of around $2,300 (approximately ₹ 1,99,000), making it one of Apple's most premium offerings to date. The device is tentatively expected to debut in autumn 2026, though Kuo cautions that Apple's plans may still evolve in the coming months.
