India's primary market is poised for a strong comeback after a relatively subdued first half of 2026. With market sentiment improving and several high-profile companies lining up their public issues, the second half of the year is expected to see a flurry of IPO activity across sectors ranging from telecom and financial services to startups, manufacturing and consumer businesses. Several of these proposed offerings are expected to rank among the largest in the country's history, while others provide investors with exposure to fast-growing businesses looking to capitalise on India's expanding economy.

Jio IPO: Among the biggest names preparing to enter the  is Jio Platforms. The Reliance-backed digital business has submitted its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for a proposed Rs 35,000 crore initial public offering.

If completed as planned, the issue would become India's biggest IPO to date. The offering consists entirely of a fresh issue of up to 27 crore shares. According to the filing, nearly Rs 27,500 crore from the proceeds will be used to reduce debt, while the remaining funds are intended for expanding digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence capabilities, network development and other technology initiatives.

NSE IPOs: Another landmark listing expected to attract significant investor attention is the National Stock Exchange (NSE). After years of regulatory delays, the country's largest stock exchange has finally filed its DRHP with SEBI. The proposed Rs 25,000 crore offer-for-sale is expected to be one of the world's largest exchange listings, allowing existing shareholders to partially exit while opening the exchange to public investors.

SBI Mutual Fund: SBI Mutual Fund is reportedly targeting a listing in early July, subject to regulatory approvals. The proposed Rs 10,000 crore public issue could see State Bank of India and its joint venture partner Amundi pare a portion of their holdings in India's largest asset management company.

Aastha Spintex IPO: Textile producer Aastha Spintex is scheduled to launch its public issue on June 29. The company operates in the yarn and textile business and aims to benefit from improving export demand for Indian textile products.

Meanwhile, Ahmedabad-based Knack Packaging is expected to open its IPO on July 1. The company manufactures rigid plastic packaging products that cater to industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and personal care.

Zepto IPO: Quick-commerce player Zepto remains one of the most anticipated IPO candidates after raising fresh capital and increasing Indian ownership. The company continues to rapidly expand its network of dark stores while competing aggressively with Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and Flipkart Minutes in India's fast-growing instant delivery market.

FabIndia IPO: Lifestyle retailer FabIndia is also expected to revisit its IPO plans after postponing its earlier listing due to uncertain market conditions. Improved profitability and operational restructuring across its apparel, home furnishings and organic food businesses are expected to support its renewed listing ambitions.

Milky Mist IPO: Tamil Nadu-based dairy brand Milky Mist is another company on investors' radar. Having already secured Sebi's approval, the company plans to move ahead with its Rs 2,035 crore IPO during 2026.

Acko IPO: Digital insurer Acko rounds off the list of marquee IPO candidates. Backed by investors such as General Atlantic and Amazon, the company is widely expected to head to the public markets as it builds its presence in motor and health insurance.
