However, Pranav Haldea said IPO activity would be impacted by the volatility in the secondary market, mainly because of recessionary fears and rising interest rates. IPO is a once-in-a-lifetime event for a company, and as seen several times in the past, companies would prefer to let their approval lapse rather than launch their IPO in a volatile market.

According to Prime Database, in the first half of the financial year 2022-23, 14 Indian corporates raised Rs 35,456 crore via the IPO route, The amount raised was 32 per cent lower than the Rs 51,979 crore raised through 25 IPOs, in the corresponding period of 2021-22.
