An Initial Public Offering (IPO) in India is the process by which a privately held company offers its shares to the public for the first time, allowing it to list on Indian stock exchanges like NSE and BSE and raise capital from public investors.
Retail investors can apply for Indian IPOs through their demat and trading accounts, typically via ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) or UPI payment methods, submitting their applications during the book-building period through their broker.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the primary regulator for Indian IPOs. SEBI ensures investor protection, transparency, and fair practices by reviewing offer documents, setting disclosure norms, and monitoring compliance.
Investing in Indian IPOs carries risks such as price volatility post-listing, potential overvaluation of the shares, business performance uncertainties, and changes in overall market sentiment. Thorough research is crucial.
