Market Is Waiting For These IPOs

Avenue Supermarts, Music Broadcast Ltd,Shankara Building Product and C L Educate, these 5 companies line up to raise Rs 4,000 crore.

Looking to tap into the upbeat investor sentiment, as many as five companies are expected to hit capital markets next month to raise around Rs. 4,000 crore through initial public offerings.

These firms are Avenue Supermarts, owner and operator of supermarket retail chain D-Mart; Music Broadcast Ltd, a Jagran group firm that runs Radio City FM channel; Shankara Building Product; BSE-promoted CDSL; and test-prep player C L Educate.

These five companies are expected to come out with their IPOs (initial public offers) in March to garner Rs. 3,860 crore, reports PTI.

Proceeds from the sales would be primarily used for expansion plans, repayment of loans and general corporate purposes. So far this year, Asia's oldest stock exchange BSE got listed on the rival NSE's platform.

The year 2016 saw hectic fund-raising activities in the IPO segment as a total of 26 firms collected over Rs. 26,000 crore through IPOs - making it the best one for public offers since 2010.
