FPIs inject Rs 14,247 crore into Indian primary market in July amid IPO surge
ET Intelligence Group: Net inflow of foreign portfolio investors (FPI) in the Indian primary market hit a seven month high of $1.7 billion (₹14,247 crore) amid buoyancy in initial public offerings (IPO). The previous high was in December 2024 when FPIs had invested $2.1 billion (₹18,036 crore) through the primary route. Primary market includes IPOs and private placements. In July, the number of IPOs at 13 was the highest in any of the months of the current calendar year so far. These IPOs collectively raised ₹16,127 crore. In the previous month, while the number of IPOs at eight was less, the amount raised was higher at ₹17,690 crore, skewed by the IPO of HDB Financial Services , which scooped up ₹12,500 crore through a combination of fresh issue and offer for sale.

This resulted in net outflow of $2.1 billion (₹17,740.6 crore) in July, primary and secondary market put together. The benchmark indices have shown signs of fatigue, losing over 3% last month. If the weakness persists, it may affect the flow of new IPOs in the coming weeks thereby impacting the FPI investments in the primary market.

According to the statement, this partnership sets the course for a circular, self-reliant vanadium ecosystem - one that turns waste into value, strengthens the domestic supply chain, and accelerates India's energy transition. Backed by its recent USD 20 million Series A+ funding, VFlowTech is investing in India's clean energy future by advancing local research and development capabilities, and supporting a 'Made-in-India' vanadium value chain for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). Live Events "India's refinery scale presents a unique opportunity to build a homegrown vanadium ecosystem. By repurposing waste into battery materials, we're addressing energy security and industrial sustainability in one step," Avishek Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO of VFlowTech, said. The waste from the refineries produces large amounts of petcoke cinder, which contains significant vanadium content. This collaboration will fill that gap by extracting vanadium domestically from petcoke waste , advancing both economic and environmental sustainability. "By establishing India's first circular vanadium ecosystem, we aim to support the vision of creating renewable energy capacity of 500 GW by 2030," said Anil Verma from the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi. As per the industry estimates, the statement said, the global VRFB manufacturing market is on the verge of robust growth between 2025 and 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 20-25 per cent. Industry projections highlight that the revenue from VRFB manufacturing will surpass USD 2 billion by 2030. Established in 2018, VFlowTech is a deep tech company pioneering vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) systems and hybrid batteries for long-duration energy storage.
