Ather Energy to Borana Weaves: IPO-lock-in expiry for 61 companies to release $21 bn worth of shares in 4 months
IPO lock-in expiry: A total of 61 companies are slated to have their pre-listing shareholder lock-ins lifted between May 28, 2025 and September 22, 2025, which could potentially free up shares amounting to $21 billion, according to a report by domestic brokerage Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research.
Some of the key companies that will witness IPO lock-in expiries include recently listed Ather Energy and Borana Weaves.
While the value of shares set to be open for trading pertains to the total lock-up opening shares, it's important to understand that not all of these shares will be sold. This is because a sizable portion of these shares is also held by the promoter and promoter group companies.
Nuvama said it has only considered those companies that got listed on the Indian stock exchanges by May 26, 2025.
The lock-in period for an IPO is a specified duration during which certain shareholders, like promoters and anchor investors, are prohibited from selling their shares.
These lock-in regulations are designed to promote stock price stability and allow the company time to establish itself in the market after its IPO. The duration of the IPO lock-in period varies depending on the category of investor — such as promoters, anchor investors, and non-promoter shareholders.
Here is a detailed list of companies set to face IPO lock-in expiry over the next few months:
Only Ather Energy and Borana Weaves shares are among those that will see one-month and three-month IPO lock-in expiries.
Around 21 million shares of Ather Energy will be available for trade on June 2, followed by another 21 million on July 31.
Meanwhile, 2 million shares of Borana Weaves will be available for trading on June 23, and an additional 2 million will be up for trading on August 21.
Ather Energy shares are currently trading below their IPO price of ₹ 321 apiece. The stock had listed at ₹ 328 in May. Meanwhile, Borana Weaves stock had listed two days ago at ₹ 243 as against the IPO price of ₹ 216. Today, the stock closed the session at ₹ 232.55, below its listing price but above the issue price.
Some 28 companies will see their six-month IPO lock-in expiry between June 2 and August 18. Enviro Infra, Vishal Mega Mart, Sai Life Sciences, Mamata Machinery, Unichem Aerospace and Dr Agarwal's Health Care are some of the companies up for six-month lock-in expiries.

Strong economic growth in Q4 of FY25 due to rise in net indirect taxes, GDP to grow at 6.3 to 6.5% in FY26: SBI Report
New Delhi [India], May 31 (ANI): India's economy recorded strong growth in the fourth quarter of FY25, mainly due to a sharp rise in net indirect taxes, stated a report by the State Bank of India. The report stated that India's GDP grew by 7.4 per cent in Q4 FY25. This growth came as a pleasant surprise and was higher than expected, supported by a 12.7 per cent increase in net indirect taxes. The jump in tax collections significantly contributed to the overall expansion in economic activity during the quarter. It said, 'Q4 throws a pleasant surprise at 7.4 per cent buoyed by growth in net indirect taxes.' SBI has also projected a positive outlook for the Indian economy in the current financial year. It expects the country to remain the fastest-growing major economy in FY26, with GDP growth estimated to be in the range of 6.3 per cent to 6.5 per cent. It added, 'We believe that the Indian economy is poised to remain the fastest-growing major economy in FY26 (GDP growth expected at 6.3-6.5 per cent).' According to the report, the growth momentum is likely to be supported by strong macroeconomic fundamentals, a robust and healthy financial sector, and sustained focus on long-term development goals. These factors are expected to help India maintain stability even in the face of global uncertainties. In January this year, the gross GST revenue stood at Rs 1.96 lakh crore, marking a 12.3 per cent increase compared to the same month last year. February collections reached Rs 1.84 lakh crore, up 9.1 per cent year-on-year. In March, GST collections again touched Rs 1.96 lakh crore, registering a 9.9 per cent annual rise, according to data released by the government. Almost all sectors exhibited better growth numbers in Q4 FY25. The services sector takes the lead with growth at 7.3 per cent in Q4. Among services (in Q4), 'Public administration, defence and Other Services' grew by 8.7 per cent and 'Financial, Real Estate & Professional Services' grew by 7.8 per cent. On a yearly basis services sector grew by 7.2 per cent in FY25 as against 9.0 per cent in FY24. The report also pointed to a rise in household savings, as reflected in the latest RBI annual report. Higher savings are expected to aid domestic investments and provide the necessary financing for growth without adding inflationary pressures. Therefore, SBI does not foresee any major demand-driven price hikes in FY26. SBI concluded that despite potential external and geopolitical risks, India is well-placed to continue on a stable and high-growth path in the coming year. (ANI)
