More than six IPOs are expected to open in June, with companies aiming to raise nearly Rs 8,000-10,000 crore, according to market sources.
Big names include NSDL (Rs 3,000 crore), Travel Food Services (Rs 2,000 crore), and Sri Lotus Developers & Realty (Rs 800 crore), along with a few mid-sized players like Laxmi India Finance (Rs 200 crore) and Indogulf Cropsciences (Rs 300 crore).
But here’s the kicker: this fresh wave of IPOs comes right after a patchy May, where investor interest—especially from retail and HNIs—began to fizzle out.
What does this mean for the average investor?
Simply put, there’s a lot on offer—but not all of it is flying off the shelves. Some IPOs in May barely scraped through.
Schloss Bangalore, the Leela Hotels owner, only saw 60% retail subscription by mid-afternoon on the final bidding day. The HNI interest? Just 43%. And it wasn’t alone—Aegis Vopak Terminals saw even less retail excitement.
Sure, a flood of IPOs sounds exciting. But like a buffet at closing time, too many dishes can spoil the appetite. Experts say this “bunching” of IPOs—4 to 5 launching within days of each other—is thinning out demand.

Why June’s IPOs still matter
Despite recent hiccups, investors haven’t completely lost their appetite. Some IPOs in May—like Borana Weaves and Belrise Industries—were wildly oversubscribed at 148x and 43x respectively.
That means the right mix of company story, pricing, and timing can still stir up a frenzy.
With NSDL entering the arena, expectations are high. As India’s oldest depository, its brand brings credibility. Travel Food Services, a major airport food operator, could also draw interest with its everyday visibility and scaling potential.
But make no mistake—this isn’t a free-for-all. Investors are getting picky. They’re looking past the hype and into balance sheets, brand value, and market mood.
Should you dive in?
That depends. If you’ve got FOMO, pause. Just because an IPO is live doesn’t mean it’s right for your portfolio. Do your research. Understand the business. Watch how early demand shapes up.
And remember: IPOs aren’t lottery tickets—they’re investments. If it looks too good, it probably is.
