India’s potential IPO pipeline swells to ₹3.86 lakh crore
In short
India’s potential mainboard IPO pipeline is estimated at about ₹3.86 lakh crore in 2026. That is nearly 3.5 times the ₹1.10 lakh crore raised so far this year, and the report says ₹2.43 lakh crore has Sebi approval while ₹1.44 lakh crore is still waiting.
This matters because it points to a very large queue of companies hoping to list. The report does not say which IPOs will actually come to market.
