India's primary market anticipates a busy season with major IPOs approaching. Many investors are borrowing funds to maximize their application sizes. This trend is fueled by increased retail participation and convenient application methods. However, borrowing carries significant risks, including allotment and weak listing uncertainties. Careful consideration of costs and potential returns is essential before leveraging for IPOs.

India's NSE is pitching its potential $3.6 billion IPO to 30 global investors, aiming for the country's largest-ever listing before December 2026.

The primary market gears up for action as three IPOs, including the mega SBI Funds Management issue and one SME offering, worth over Rs 10,100 crore, open from July 14-16.
