In a recent report, brokerage house Nomura said that it expects IPO in India to regain momentum in the second half of the 2022-23 financial year (FY23).
“The capital markets on the secondary side which is on the block and QIPs (qualified institutional placement) have started to pick up,” the brokerage said.
Nomura expects a constructive environment, especially in the second half of the year for IPOs.
The brokerage added that India’s capital market fundraising will remain robust in the next 6 to 12 months as investors were waiting for Life Insurance Corporation to list. Most of the firms will seek domestic listings instead of going overseas.
