Jio Platforms IPO and NSE IPO are two of the most-awaited public issues of 2026. Last week, both companies filed their official Draft Red Herring Prospectuses (DRHPs) with the market regulator, SEBI, for approval.
NSE IPO is expected to raise around ₹30,000 crore ($3.1 billion), while Jio Platforms IPO could be the biggest IPO in India, with an estimated issue size of around ₹37,000 crore ($3.9 billion). Both the NSE and Jio Platforms IPO are high-profile issue which together could plan to raise over $7 billion.
In the first half of 2026, IPO activity slowed down significantly as only 26 mainboard IPOs successfully listed on the domestic stock exchanges, out of which four issues were either REITs or Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT). However, in June 2026, six companies have lined up their IPOs.
June 2026 saw a sudden flurry of DRHPs filings. Before NSE and Jio Platforms, Zepto filed its updated DRHP for SEBI approval and plans to raise ₹8,010 crore via fresh issue. Besides this, SBI Funds Management, which manages SBI Mutual Fund, has also received IPO approval to raise ₹13,000 crore ($1.3 billion).
Amid these IPO filings and approvals, one question remains for investors. Why are corporate heavyweights and hyper-growth startups striking all at once to bring their IPOs? Here is the answer to it
Key factors driving IPO launches in the second half of 2026
Besides this, many recently listed companies have delivered muted or negative post-listing returns, impacting investors' sentiments and forcing companies to delay offerings.
However, in June 2026, the markets saw some bounce back after the US-Iran reached a peace deal, while crude oil prices eased from record levels. NIFTY and SENSEX rose nearly 3% each. This ease in uncertainty and market volatility may have prompted companies to take advantage and bring their IPOs.
Experts believe successful listing of upcoming issues and revival of the primary market is crucial in setting the tone for the rest of the year, especially for large and high-profile listings like Zepto, NSE and Jio Platforms.
Similarly, SBI Mutual Fund is a key subsidiary of the State Bank of India (SBI) and part of the SBI Group financial ecosystem.
