If you’ve recently come across the term Initial Public Offering (IPO) or read our blogs on IPOs, you may have wondered, what were the biggest IPOs in India?
Well, if that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. This blog is all about the biggest IPOs in the history of India. Knowing what the biggest and the best IPOs were worth gives us a benchmark to compare our existing or future investments with.
But before we delve into a list of the 9 biggest IPOs in India, let’s figure out what an IPO means. Psst… If you’re an investor who values your money, stick around till the end of this blog to know if you should invest in IPOs.
The following list includes some IPOs that may come across as obvious to many and others that you wouldn't really expect to see on a list like this. Bear in mind that most of these stocks are trading well below their IPO price.
Cairn India amalgamated with Vedanta Ltd in 2018.
Private companies are allowed to have a limited number of investors by law. So if a private company wants to bring more investors on board, it has to go public.
The process of going public is initiated through an Initial Public Offering (IPO). An IPO allows the company to trade on the stock exchange. So regular investors from outside the company can buy and sell shares.
IPOs are more commonplace in India than most Indians think. There have been 43 IPOs in 2020 alone. Compared to the number of IPOs since 2008 (164), this is promising. Some of these IPOs even hold the title of the biggest IPOs ever seen in India.
There are risks and rewards to each investment and IPOs fall under the high risk-high reward category. IPOs allow investors to get in cheap and get potentially high returns in the future along with brand exposure.
But of course, not every investor is comfortable with the uncertainty and high risk-high reward potential of IPOs. The great Warren Buffet himself avoids IPO investments. Except, he still regrets not investing in Amazon's IPO.
Even so, investing in any market instrument would depend on your investment goals, risk tolerance, age, and other factors. Remember to always consult a trained financial professional before investing in IPOs.
