Proceeds from initial public offerings (IPOs) in the
country surged 61 per cent last year to over $4.09 billion, showed an EY
report on Sunday.
The 'EY India IPO Trends Report: Q4 2020'

number of IPOs in 2020 was just 43, down 33 per cent from 2019.
It said that the fourth quarter of 2020 saw a strong rebound in IPO activity and market sentiment remains positive.
"Real
estate, hospitality and construction, diversified industrial products
were the most active sectors (in terms of the number of IPOs) with three
IPOs launched in each sector (including main and SME markets)," it
said.
In terms of the issue size, the IPO by Gland Pharma Ltd
from the life sciences sector was the largest in Q4 2020 with proceeds
of $869 million.
Sandip Khetan, Partner and National Leader,
Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS), EY India, said: "There is
a strong momentum in the IPO markets, and we are seeing an increased
interest from companies across sectors looking to raise capital in the
near term. Additionally, companies are keenly awaiting guidelines for
direct listing in overseas markets."
"The market sentiment remains positive for what could be a stellar 2021," he said.
As
per the report, Indian stock exchanges, BSE and NSE including SMEs,
ranked ninth in the world in terms of the number of IPOs in full year of
2020. There were no cross-border deals during the year.
In the main markets, BSE and NSE, there were ten IPOs in Q4 2020 against five IPOs in Q4 2019 and four IPOs in Q3 2020.
