Primary Market Regains Momentum
After a short lull in the primary market, investor activity is set to pick up again with a fresh wave of public issues. Starting October 27, 2025, the week will witness five new IPOs across mainboard and SME segments, collectively expected to raise over ₹45,000 crore this month.
This renewed activity follows strong investor participation earlier in October in issues like Tata Capital and LG Electronics, which together raised over ₹27,000 crore.
Orkla India IPO: The Spice and Convenience Food Giant
The most anticipated among the new entrants this week is Orkla India, the parent company behind popular food brands MTR Foods, Eastern Condiments, and Rasoi Magic.
- IPO Dates: October 29–31, 2025
- Price Band: ₹695–₹730 per share
- Issue Size: ₹1,667.5 crore (entirely Offer-for-Sale)
- Valuation: ~₹10,000 crore
The Bengaluru-based company’s IPO will consist of 2.28 crore shares offered for sale by Orkla Asia Pacific, along with shareholders Navas Meeran and Feroz Meeran.
Since it’s a complete OFS, all proceeds will go to the existing shareholders — not the company itself.
This issue reflects Orkla’s effort to enhance liquidity and visibility in India’s fast-growing packaged food sector.
Studds Accessories IPO: Riding on Helmet Market Growth
The second major listing is Studds Accessories, one of India’s leading helmet and motorcycle accessories manufacturers.
- IPO Dates: October 30–November 3, 2025
- Offer Type: 100% Offer-for-Sale
- Shares Offered: 77.86 lakh
This IPO will allow promoters and existing investors to partially exit while bringing the company into the public market spotlight.
Studds’ brand recognition and strong export footprint could attract retail and HNI investors seeking exposure to India’s two-wheeler growth story.
Lenskart Solutions IPO: Vision for a Digital Future
Eyewear major Lenskart Solutions Ltd is also hitting the market this week, with one of the most significant issues of the season.
- IPO Dates: October 31–November 4, 2025

Lenskart’s mix of digital-first strategy and physical retail expansion positions it among India’s most exciting consumer-tech plays in 2025.

Cumulative Fundraising & Market Context
October 2025 has turned out to be one of the most active IPO months of the year.
So far, 10 IPOs have already hit the markets, including seven from the mainboard segment, raising nearly ₹35,791 crore.
With these five new issues, the total fundraising is set to cross ₹45,000 crore this month — signaling strong investor appetite despite global volatility.
Experts believe the mix of consumer-focused, manufacturing, and SME listings shows healthy market depth. Retail participation has also remained high in both large-cap and SME offerings.
Finversify Outlook
According to Dhwani Patel , Head of Research at Finversify, the recent IPO momentum reflects the revival of domestic investor confidence and a broader shift toward capital-market participation.
“The diversity of upcoming IPOs — from food to logistics to consumer tech — signals balanced sectoral interest.
But investors should focus on fundamentals and valuations, not just subscription buzz.”
She also adds that while short-term listing gains may attract traders, long-term value lies in quality businesses with sustainable growth, like Lenskart and Orkla India.
