IPO Weekly Roundup — Week of 06 Jul to 12 Jul 2026
This Week’s IPOs
Here’s what happened in the IPO market from July 6th to July 12th, 2026. We saw a mix of mainboard and SME offerings hitting the market, giving investors a few new avenues to explore.
On the mainboard front, we had two notable openings. Kusumgar opened its books with a price band of ₹419.00, aiming to raise capital for its growth initiatives. Following closely, Laser Power also launched its IPO at ₹214.00, presenting another opportunity for investors seeking exposure to this sector. Meanwhile, the SME space saw two new entrants. Happy Steels opened its doors to investors at ₹66.00, while Devson Catalyst offered its shares at ₹118.00. These SME IPOs often provide a chance for higher growth potential, albeit with increased risk.
Listing Performance
This week’s listing performance was, to put it mildly, quite a mixed bag. Out of the eleven IPOs that listed, a significant number unfortunately struggled to gain traction, with many opening at a substantial discount to their issue price. This can be disheartening for investors who subscribed with high hopes.
Adon Agro was one of the few bright spots, listing at ₹78.25, a positive gain of ₹8.25 over its issue price. This suggests that the market found value in their offering. On the other hand, the majority of the other listings, including Twinkle Papers, Aastha Spintex, Kratikal Tech, Vinit Mobile, Atharva Poly-Plast, Sampark India Logistics, Teja Engineering, Seemax Resources, Knack Packaging, and IC Electricals, experienced significant drops. Some of these saw their share prices plummet by as much as ₹220 or more on their debut. This kind of performance can be a stark reminder of the volatility inherent in the IPO market, particularly for smaller companies.
What stood out this week was the stark contrast between the few successful listings and the many that faltered. It underscores the importance of thorough due diligence and understanding the specific business fundamentals of each company before committing capital. For those who managed to exit their positions quickly, the losses were substantial.

Upcoming Next Week
Looking ahead, the IPO pipeline for next week appears to be shaping up with a few more opportunities for investors. While specific details are still emerging, the market is anticipating further mainboard and SME offerings. It will be interesting to see if the trend of challenging listings continues or if we see a turnaround.

Market Outlook
The current IPO market sentiment seems cautious, with investors carefully evaluating new offerings. The recent wave of listings that underperformed suggests that companies need to be more realistic with their valuations and ensure strong fundamentals to attract investor interest. The broader market conditions also play a crucial role, and any shifts in the economic landscape can significantly impact IPO performance.
For now, it’s a period where selectivity is key. Investors are likely to be more discerning, favoring companies with clear growth stories and robust financial health. We’ll be watching closely to see how the upcoming week’s IPOs perform and if they can bring some much-needed positive momentum to the market.
