Upcoming IPO in 2026

An IPO, or Initial Public Offering, is the process through which a previously completely private business opens up its shares to be traded in public on an exchange. When a company goes public, it hires investment banks to ensure that the IPO results in a high influx of capital from the public. Share markets are of two types: primary markets and secondary markets. Primary markets involve the public investing in the latest upcoming IPOs.

Upcoming IPOs are public issues from companies that have filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI and are expected to open for subscription in the coming weeks or months. Once SEBI clears the DRHP and the company files its Red Herring Prospectus (RHP), the exact dates, price band and lot size are.

It is important to be up to date about the latest upcoming IPO in the stock market because - You can then plan your IPO investment strategy properly based on your research on the companies and market sentiments regarding the IPOs. Therefore, you can take a more informed decision about the IPO investment.

Even if you do not invest in a newly launched upcoming IPO right away, you can track the performance of upcoming IPOs. Tracking IPO performances will help you understand the sentiment in the market about IPOs

• The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) allows 4 categories of investors to bid for shares during an IPO process –

• Retail Individual Investors (RIIs)

• Non-institutional Investors (NIIs) / High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs)

• Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs)

• Anchor Investors

Some issues also reserve a portion of shares for eligible employees (often at a discount to the issue price) and for existing shareholders of the parent company as on a record date.

• The process is simple. Follow these steps to apply for an IPO through the Bajaj Broking app or website:
• Login to your account and go to the IPO section from the Home page. After due diligence, select the IPO you want to invest in under ‘Open & Upcoming’ IPOs.
• Click on ‘APPLY NOW’ to begin the process of investment.
• Enter the number of lots, the bidding price (in case of a book building issue), and your UPI ID.
• Click on ‘APPLY FOR IPO’ and confirm your bid.

Accept the payment mandate request sent to your UPI ID to block the necessary funds. Your IPO investment process is now complete!

The following are the requirements for applying for an IPO in India:

• You must be an Indian citizen.
• PAN card
• Demat account
• Bank Account: A bank account that supports the ASBA (Application Supported by Blocked Amount) facility.

You may not need a trading account to apply for an IPO, but you may need it to sell your holdings once the IPO shares are delivered to your account, for this you need to open a demat account. It is also advised that you research the companies whose IPOs you want to invest in. Without due diligence, you should not be committing a large sum of money.

• Apply through family members' accounts
  Each application must be made in that person's own name, from their own demat account, PAN and funds. SEBI permits only one application per PAN per IPO; if two bids share a PAN, all of them are rejected, not just the extra one.
• Bid at the cut-off price
  Selecting the cut-off price signals your willingness to accept the final issue price within the price band. It’s recommended for retail investors as it improves the likelihood of share allotment.
• Submit applications early
  Apply early in the window — not for better allotment odds (in an oversubscribed retail book, allotment is a computerised lottery in which every valid application has an equal chance) but to avoid last-day UPI-mandate failures and cut-off-time issues.
• Avoid large applications
  SEBI treats all retail applications equally in oversubscribed IPOs. Applying for the maximum amount doesn’t improve allotment chances. Multiple smaller applications are better. 
• Monitor subscription levels
  Check real-time IPO subscription data to assess demand. It helps you decide the optimal bid amount and timing of your application.

Several IPOs remain in India’s pipeline for 2026, but only a few have confirmed issue dates as of 14 August 2026. Companies without announced dates should be treated as expected IPOs because their launch schedules can change based on regulatory approvals and market conditions. NSE’s upcoming IPO page and current market trackers list Reliance Jio and the National Stock Exchange of India among the major issues awaiting final dates.
 

For the later part of 2026, the exact calendar remains less certain. Reuters reported that the National Stock Exchange of India was targeting a listing by October 2026, while Reliance Jio has been reported as a possible October–November 2026 IPO. Muthoot FinCorp filed draft papers for a proposed ₹3,000 crore IPO in August, while AGS Heath and Zetwerk have also submitted updated IPO documents.

There are no confirmed month-wise IPO dates available yet for all issues from September to December 2026. Investors should check the latest Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), BSE, and NSE filings because an IPO can move to a different month until the company announces its final price band and bidding dates.
