23 firms race to launch IPOs worth Rs 40,775 crore before September 30 deadline
Approvals by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for at least 23 companies, collectively looking to raise ₹40,775 crore, are set to expire by the end of the month, Prime Database data showed.
ET BureauAmong the larger IPOs in the pipeline are Mumbai-based Credila Financial Services and Kachchh-based specialty chemicals maker Dorf-Ketal Chemicals India, with proposed issue sizes of ₹5,000 crore each. Both received Sebi approval in May 2025, according to Prime Database.

Pranav Haldea, managing director of Prime Database, said some of these companies may choose to refile at a later stage when they feel valuations are more conducive. Companies have a year from the date of regulatory approval to launch their issues. In April, Sebi granted a one-time relaxation to issuers whose observation letters were due to expire between April 1 and September 30, giving them until this month end to launch their IPOs. The relief was aimed at helping IPO-bound companies ride out the risk aversion in equities following the West Asian crisis and the surge in oil prices.

Sebi also allowed companies to increase or reduce their issue size by up to 50% without filing fresh draft papers, compared with the earlier threshold of 20%.Under the existing framework, Sebi observations are generally valid for 12 months, while certain issues, including those under the confidential pre-filing route, can have a validity of up to 18 months. Since these are one-time extensions granted by Sebi, companies unable to launch their IPOs by September 30 would be expected to refile their draft red herring prospectuses (DRHPs), according to Adeepto Saha, associate partner, Deloitte India. “A fresh filing would nevertheless add several months to the overall execution timeline,” said Saha.
Other sizeable issues include renewable power producer Continuum Green Energy (Rs 3,650 crore, approved in April 2025), New Delhi-based NBFC Hero FinCorp (Rs 3,600 crore, May 2025), hotel ownership and development firm Prestige Hospitality Ventures (Rs 2,700 crore, August 2025) and technology-driven solutions provider Innovatiview India (Rs 2,000 crore, August 2025).
So far this year, 87 IPOs have raised Rs 1.08 lakh crore. That makes 2026 only the fourth year in history in which IPO fundraising has crossed the Rs 1 lakh crore mark. This excludes the ongoing National Stock Exchange IPO, which aims to raise Rs 22,561 crore.
Mouri Tech, Ravi Infrabuild Projects, Ajay Poly, Jesons Industries, Vinir Engineering, Kent RO Systems, Veeda Clinical Research, Seedworks International, Allchem Lifesciences, SIS Cash Services, Neilsoft, Runwal Enterprises, Prozeal Green Energy, Ardee Engineering and SSF Plastics India are among the other companies that have IPO approvals set to expire by September 30.
“Companies whose approvals expire this September will have to go back to the starting point and initiate work on and refile their DRHPs,” said Nikhil Naredi, partner, capital markets, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co.
Refiling a fresh DRHP is typically not the preferred option, as it could entail Rs 3-5 crore in additional costs, fresh Sebi filing fees, updated audited financials and legal due diligence, besides another 60-90 day regulatory review.
For companies still weighing a market debut, the decision is likely to depend on the urgency of fundraising, expectations of selling shareholders and the valuation available in the market.
“Private equity and venture capital-backed companies could face greater pressure where investors are looking for an exit within a defined investment horizon,” Saha said.

This project, scheduled to be completed by December 2031, is being executed by Embassy Developments under a development management model.

We have brought that same philosophy to Mumbai, and in a relatively short period, it has resonated with some of the country’s most discerning buyers,” said Jitendra Virwani, Chairman, Embassy Developments.
“Dinesh Thakkar’s acquisition of an entire tower at Embassy Terazza is a strong endorsement of that vision and the trust the Embassy brand has earned in Mumbai within 18 months of launching in the city,” Virwani further said.Located on Juhu Tara Road, one of Mumbai’s most coveted residential addresses and home to leading business families, industrialists and celebrities, Embassy Terazza is an ultra-luxury low-density development spanning over 2+ acres with approximately 50 residences and has an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) in excess of Rs 3,000 crore.

When I started looking for a new home, my focus was on privacy, spaciousness, exceptional sea views and creating a luxurious, iconic sanctuary that would become our family home,” said Dinesh Thakkar, Founder, Chairman and Managing Director, Angel One.
“‘Angelus’ is what we have named our new dream home, which is being crafted into reality by the Embassy Group. Embassy Terazza brings together all these aspirations in one project.”
Joining Embassy Citadel in Worli and Embassy Serenity in Alibaug, Embassy Terazza further strengthens EDL’s growing residential footprint across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, alongside its ongoing projects, Embassy Park in Panvel and Embassy One in Thane, the company added.

Drivers in the West Midlands rethink spending as fuel prices climb
Soaring fuel prices are forcing motorists to cut back on everyday spending and adding tens of thousands of pounds a week to business costs, with petrol at its highest level since November 2022.
Drivers say they are changing their spending habits to cope with rising costs at the pump, while businesses warn higher fuel bills are placing increasing pressure on their finances.
Petrol prices rose to an average of 161.3p per litre between July and August, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the highest level recorded since November 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed up global energy costs.
Diesel is also expected to top £2 per litre in the coming days.
Among those feeling the impact is Arvander Pabla in Willenhall, in the West Midlands, who drives a lot every day and says rising fuel costs have forced him to make cutbacks elsewhere.
“I do nearly 70, 75 miles per day, and it has really affected me price wise, because it has nearly gone double,” he said.
To create more room in his budget for fuel, he said he had reduced spending on takeaways and eating out, and was considering replacing his car with a more fuel-efficient vehicle.

Council plans winter support for vulnerable Tandridge residents
A Surrey council is poised to set aside £150,000 to support its most vulnerable residents through the winter months.
Tandridge District Council plans to run its winter support scheme for another year, giving eligible residents money to help with essentials and bills.
Councillors on the strategy and resources committee are due to consider the proposals this week, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
“Each past scheme has helped nearly 500 households,” a report issued ahead of Thursday’s meeting says.
Those applying for the support must be a householder aged 16 or over, have their primary residence in the Tandridge District Council area and be struggling to meet their essential short-term needs.
Several categories of residents will be prioritised for aid, including those with dependent children, those with disabilities, pensioners, carers, those at risk of homelessness and victims of domestic abuse.
Council officers will assess any application for support and decide on each case based on “local economic factors and arrangements in place with other agencies”.
The report adds the scheme will be fully funded by Tandridge District Council using allocated funds.
Applications would open on 9 November if the renewed programme is approved.
“Awards will not normally exceed £150 for households without children and £250 for households containing children,” the report adds.
