D-St calling: Startups rush to file for IPOs as sensex soars
Primary market fundraising may hit $2.4 billion in July, almost matching the $2.5 billion peak seen in Dec 2024, edging past June's $2-billion mark, said Prakash Bulusu, joint CEO at IIFL Capital.
Global Tensions Ease
Since last week, Pine Labs, Shadowfax, Wakefit, and Curefoods have filed their draft papers. With markets making a comeback after geopolitical tensions eased in West Asia, more startups are expediting filing of draft papers.
SoftBank-backed Lenskart is expected to file draft papers in two weeks, sources said.
"After a five-month lull, the resurgence in India's IPO market reflects more than pent-up supply. Confidence is returning as secondary markets stabilise, geopolitical tensions ease, and institutional risk appetite strengthens. The immediate catalyst has been the calming of global jitters combined with the smooth absorption of large block deals like the Singtel-Bharti Airtel sale.

Besides, institutional investors are back in force," said Bulusu.
Big Names Look To List Too
For the full year, the IPO market remains on track to raise $23-24 billion, with marquee offerings from LG Electronics India, NSDL, and JSW Cement lined up, Bulusu added. About Rs 1.7 lakh crore was raised through primary issues in 2024. From their April lows, the

The broadening of the local startup ecosystem and rising investor appetite for tech IPOs has nudged more companies in the space to tap the public markets for growth. While more than half a dozen companies, including Groww, PhysicsWallah, Boat, and Shiprocket, have filed their DRHPs since the start of the year, Zepto, PhonePe, Infra.Market, and Oyo are among startups firming up their IPO papers.
In all, some 123 companies have filed DRHPs with Sebi during Jan-June this year, against 52 firms in the same period last year, data sourced from Prime Database showed.
"A flurry of issues, however, also quite often pushes through IPOs of companies which come to market at valuations that are unreasonable and end up struggling post-listing. Investors, hence, should be discerning to assess the quality of the business and valuations at IPO," said Keyur Majumdar, managing partner at Bay Capital. The IPO pipeline is very strong and ever-increasing, and the second half of the year should see a slew of IPOs, said Pranav Haldea, MD at Prime Database.

He said the govt is committed to providing ample employment opportunities for youth, and urged ULBs to prioritize skill development initiatives in their respective areas to further enhance job prospects. He also stressed learning from cities excelling in various sectors and adopting their best practices. Madhya Pradesh urban development and housing minister Kailash Vijayvargiya emphasized transforming public participation into a mass movement.

Govt to soon introduce rule requiring silent EVs to have vehicle alerting system
New Delhi: In a move to alert pedestrians about approaching electric two and three wheelers, and e-rickshaws, which hardly emit any noise, govt will soon introduce a new regulation requiring manufacturers to have an electronic system that automatically creates sound when these vehicles are moving at speeds of up to 20 kmph. The transport ministry has published a draft automobile industry standard (AIS) for Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (QRTV) requiring fitment of Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS). This safety feature primarily is designed for electric and hybrid vehicles emitting artificial sounds to alert pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users about the presence of the vehicle, especially at low speeds where these vehicles are very quiet. When EVs run at higher speed, their tyres generate noise. You Can Also Check: Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi Sources said the need for such an alert was felt soon after the introduction of EVs in the country, especially after reports of road accidents involving these vehicles as pedestrians could not spot them early. The AVAS is mandated in electric and hybrid vehicles across several countries, including the European Union, United States, and Japan. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the US has made this system mandatory for all new EVs sold since September 2020, Europe implemented this regulation in July 2019. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "Since there is a significant increase in EV penetration, particularly in two and three wheelers, and e-rickshaws, now there is a need to bring this regulation. The matter has been discussed at meetings of the CMVR-TSC, country's apex automotive standard making entity," said a senior official. As per the draft AIS, there may be a mechanism to enable the driver to halt the operation of the AVAS in case of a need. Sources said the standard will be notified soon after completing the consultation process. They added that since this is linked to safety of other road users, govt would have to make this mandatory. "We are carrying out a study on the need of AVAS in electric two-wheelers," said Anoop Chawla, professor of mechanical engineering department at IIT-Delhi. Apex automobile industry body, SIAM had approached IIT-Delhi for the study.
