The primary market is set for another busy week, with seven companies, including Blackstone-backed Horizon Industrial Parks and Lalithaa Jewellery Mart, set to raise over Rs 6,400 crore collectively through initial public offerings (IPOs).
The upcoming issues follow the launch of five IPOs this week, while three companies had already tapped the market earlier this month.
Horizon Industrial Parks will kick off the week on August 17 with its Rs 2,600-crore IPO, followed by jewellery retailer Lalithaa Jewellery Mart's Rs 1,700-crore issue on the same day.
Shankesh Jewellers and film and television producer Sunshine Pictures will open their IPOs on August 18, raising Rs 367 crore and Rs 282 crore, respectively.
Gaja Alternative Asset Management, which operates under the Gaja Capital brand, will launch its Rs 550-crore IPO on August 19, Tempsens Instruments (India) will open its issue on August 20 and an integrated gold and silver platform Augmont Enterprises will float its Rs 825-crore IPO on August 21.
Together, the seven companies are looking to raise more than Rs 6,400 crore through public issues, making it another busy week for the primary market.
