In the first half of 2021, we came across some of the most popular IPOs in India were Zomato, Comstar, IRFC, PowerGrid InVit, and others. In this half of the year, there are a lot more in the pipeline as well.
However, before getting into individual IPOs which are on their way, let us discuss IPO in brief.

What is IPO?

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering which means the first instance of selling shares of a company to the general public. An IPO is usually done for raising funds for working capital, expansion, debt repayment, acquisition, and other purposes.

A company coming up with an IPO means it is becoming a public enterprise from a private one. Thus, often an IPO is referred to as “going public”. Investors who are interested in buying the shares of the particular company can apply for the same by filling up the IPO application. They need to do the same through a broker or a bank with which the IPO is taking place or associated with.

Things to know about an IPO

Stock Exchange: When a company comes up with its IPO, it means the company is listing its shares on the stock exchanges of India – NSE or BSE.

Issue Size: It is the total amount of the IPO issue or the value of the IPO. It is derived by multiplying the total number of shares offered by the issue price.

IPO Open Date and Issue Close Date: IPO Open Date is the date on which the investors can start applying for the IPO. On the other hand, the Issue Close Date is the date on which the bidding gets closed. These two dates are crucial for anyone who is looking to invest in any of the upcoming IPOs.

Lot Size: When you are applying for an IPO, you need to understand that you have to buy as per lot size. Suppose, lot size is 500 then you have to apply for at least 500 shares and in multiples of the same.

Issue Price: This is the price per share. It can be either a fixed price bid or it can be done through the book-building process. The book-building process refers to bidding within a definite price range. For instance, an IPO is following book building process and the price range is Rs. 200 – Rs. 250. So, you have to bid a price within the range.
