India's IPO power shift: Domestic funds take charge as FPIs retreat
MUMBAI : India's booming market for initial public offerings is undergoing a decisive shift, with domestic institutional investors such as mutual funds, insurance companies, and banks establishing dominance over foreign players in underwriting new share sales. Data from the past 24 months show DIIs are now responsible for at least 50% of the subscriptions in an IPO's anchor book—allocations made to select large investors at a fixed price before an offering opens, helping gauge demand and stabilize the deal. That marks a sharp break from the days when foreign portfolio investors were the primary anchors in Indian IPOs. While global uncertainties have spooked FPIs, India's deepening capital markets have enabled midsize and large IPOs sail through with strong institutional and retail participation, making new share offerings less susceptible to wider macroeconomic shifts. FPIs have turned net sellers in India, offloading shares worth $31 billion ( ₹2.7 trillion) from October to July, while DIIs purchased shares worth ₹6.65 trillion. When it comes to IPOs larger than ₹1,500 crore, the participation of FIIs and DIIs remains broadly even. 'There is a balanced mix between DIIs and FIIs as we see it in most large IPOs. However, there is one clear trend where domestic investors, backed by the record inflows into mutual funds, are increasingly positive on the domestic stories," said Arvind Vashistha, India head of equity capital markets at Citi. 'In many instances, DIIs lead the price-setting in IPOs, and given the depth of the local market, it is giving a lot of comfort to issuers that at the right price and size, IPOs are doable." Reversing the order A Mint analysis of anchor investor allocations since 2019 reveals how domestic institutions investors gradually overtook foreign portfolio investors in IPO anchor books. In 2019, while FPIs contributed ₹2,624 crore, DIIs put in ₹1,475 crore. Two years later, FPI allocations surged to ₹29,030 crore, but domestic institutions narrowed the gap significantly with ₹16,433 crore. The reversal came in 2022, when FPI anchor investments dropped to ₹7,105 crore and DIIs stepped up with ₹10,903 crore. In 2024, the divergence became more pronounced—FPIs subscribed ₹26,122 crore, while DIIs outpaced them with ₹29,254 crore in anchor allotments. So far this year, through 7 August, the pattern has held. Of the ₹61,499 crore raised through 37 IPOs, FPIs accounted for ₹8,913 crore in anchor investments and DIIs for ₹10,306 crore. Mutual funds alone accounted for ₹7,920 crore. The growing dominance of mutual funds The broader reversal in IPO allocations mirrors the secondary market, where DIIs—dominated by mutual funds—are closing in on FPIs' share. In the secondary market, investors buy shares from existing holders, and the money goes to the seller, not the company. This reversal in favour of domestic institutions is likely to persist, with mutual funds—which currently account for 10.5-11% of the secondary market versus FPIs' 17%—expected to overtake foreign investors in the coming years, said Pranav Haldea, managing director of Prime Database Group. 'Mutual funds now play a key role in IPO pricing, leveraging their size. Participation in the anchor book allows them to deploy large, regular inflows into fresh paper at pre-decided prices rather than only chasing limited supply in already listed stocks," he said. Prakash Bulusu, joint chief executive, private wealth and securities, IIFL Capital Services Ltd, added that the growing dominance of DIIs in IPO anchor books represented a structural shift rather than a cyclical blip. 'Over the past two years, strong domestic liquidity—driven by record mutual fund inflows, expanding insurance penetration, and deepening participation of pension funds—has significantly reduced the market's dependence on foreign capital," he said. 'Regulatory initiatives, stable macro fundamentals, and the consistent outperformance of Indian equities have further bolstered domestic conviction in primary issuances." Global investors, on the other hand, have turned more selective due to shifting global risk appetites, higher interest rates in developed markets, and an abundance of opportunities at home," Bulusu added. 'While we may see tactical spurts in FPI participation during phases of global liquidity easing, the underlying trend is unlikely to reverse meaningfully in the medium term. India's IPO market is now anchored—quite literally—by domestic pools of patient capital, which is a positive for long-term market stability and resilience."
