Upcoming IPOs in April: Will the New Year Bring Cheer for Primary Markets?

Upcoming IPOs in April 2022

The primary markets are going through a lull as unfavourable global macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns continue to weigh on investor sentiment. The Russia-Ukraine war, rising global crude oil prices, outflows of foreign capital from emerging markets and rising interest rates are some of the reasons behind the recent downfall in global and domestic equity markets.

Investor excitement over new public issues seems to have dried down considerably. Last financial year i.e., FY22, saw record initial public offerings (IPOs). About 71 new issues helped raise over Rs 1.22 lakh crore from the market.

However, investor response to IPOs was tepid in January and February. The mega IPO of the state-run insurance behemoth Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) was also deferred to the next fiscal amid market uncertainty. There were however a few primary issues in March such as those of Uma Exports, Veranda Learning, and Hariom Pipes Industries.

But there’s still a lot of action lined up in the primary market in the coming months. IPOs in April-May are expected to be worth over Rs 1.60 lakh crore. While some companies may wait till the LIC IPO is done, others have already announced upcoming IPOs in April 2022. The new IPOs in April will steer the trajectory of primary markets in the new financial year.

Here are some of the key companies that have upcoming IPOs in April 2022. The dates of their public issue are yet to be announced and some are yet to even finalise the issue size. This is only an indicative list as of now. We will update the list as and when the dates are finalised.

Let’s look at each of the IPOs that are likely to hit the Street soon.

The regulator granted its approval in March. As per media reports, the government may offer more than 5% of its stake in the state-owned insurer and is looking to garner about Rs 50,000 crore ($6.6 billion) from the IPO. As per the DRHP, over 31 crore equity shares will be on offer and up to 10% of the issue size will be reserved for LIC policyholders. 

OYO Rooms IPO

Hospitality start-up OYO Rooms is planning to hit the D-Street for raising around $1.2 billion. However, as per reports, the company may settle for a smaller price and lower valuations as current global crisis has affected tech stocks.
