The Indian stock market is looking set to end 2023 with cheers as the benchmark BSE Sensex crossed the record high 70,000-mark for the first time last week. Additionally, the strong performance of the initial public offerings (IPOs) launched this year has made the equity market a lucrative avenue and attracted new players to invest.
Notably, the first half of the current fiscal year saw a record 31 IPOs, while the remaining six months of the 2023-24 fiscal year expect 28 issues to be launched, based on figures given by primedatabase in October 2023. Not only has the stock market seen a frenzy of IPOs in the year, investors have also shown time and again their love for the issues with robust subscription numbers. As such, many IPOs have performed brilliantly in the year, with some giving returns of over 100 per cent to the investors.
