Mint Mumbai|November 27, 2024
Initial public offerings in India are getting bigger, with their average size increasing to almost ₹2,000 crore so far in 2024, more than doubling from the average in 2023, said S. Ramesh, managing director and CEO of Kotak Investment Banking.

With more large firms and new-age companies looking to list over the next two years, the average IPO size is likely to rise, Ramesh said.

"The average size (of IPOs) has roughly moved from about ₹900 crore to close to ₹2,000 crore because this year saw the advent of some of the large IPOs of companies such as Bajaj Housing Finance, Hyundai, FirstCry, and Swiggy. So, I think it has navigated towards larger size on an average," Ramesh said in an interview, without providing estimates.
