An IPO is a public issue that a company is expected to launch soon. These companies may have filed IPO documents with SEBI or announced plans to list their shares on NSE, BSE, or SME exchanges.
You can find upcoming IPOs in India by checking IPO calendars, SEBI DRHP filings, stock exchange updates, company announcements, and IPO tracking websites that list expected IPO dates, price bands, and issue sizes.
Companies launch IPOs to raise funds for business expansion, debt repayment, working capital, acquisitions, or new projects. An IPO also helps existing shareholders sell part of their stake and gives the company public market visibility.
The IPO process usually starts with filing a DRHP with SEBI, getting approvals, announcing the price band and dates, opening the issue for subscription, finalising allotment, and listing the shares on a stock exchange.
DRHP stands for Draft Red Herring Prospectus. It is a document filed with SEBI that includes company details, business model, financials, risks, promoters, IPO objectives, and other important information for investors.
DRHP is the draft IPO document filed before final approval, while RHP, or Red Herring Prospectus, is the updated document issued closer to the IPO opening date. RHP usually includes more final details such as price band, issue dates, and offer structure.
IPO price band is the price range within which investors can bid for shares. For example, if an IPO price band is Rs 100 to Rs 110, investors can place bids within that range, usually at the cut-off price for retail applications.
