Two companies Star Health and Allied Insurance Company and Tega Industries are expected to launch their initial public offerings (IPOs) next week to cumulatively raise Rs 7,868 crore.
The initial three-day sale of Star Health shares will open on November 30 and end on December 2, while that of Tega Industries will be open for public subscription from December 1 to 3.
It comes after 10 companies successfully closed their initial public offerings in November.
So far in 2021, up to 51 companies have launched their IPOs to raise more than Rs 1 lakh crore, according to data analysis with exchanges.
Apart from that, PowerGrid InvIT, the Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT) sponsored by the Power Grid Corporation of India, recovered Rs 7,735 crore from its IPO and Brookfield India Real Estate Trust raised 3 800 crore rupees through its initial stock sale.
Fundraising so far this year is well above the Rs 26,611 crore raised by 15 companies through initial share sales throughout 2020.
Such impressive fundraising via IPOs was last seen in 2017, when companies raised Rs 67,147 crore through 36 IPOs.
Star Health’s IPO includes a new issue of shares valued at Rs 2,000 crore and an offer to sell up to 58,324,225 shares by existing promoters and shareholders.

Star Health has set a price range of Rs 870-900 per share and at the high end of the price range the initial sale of the share is expected to reach Rs 7,249.18 crore.
The proceeds of the new issue would be used to increase the capital of the company.

The IPO of Tega Industries, manufacturer of consumables for the mining industry, is purely an offer to sell 1,3669,478 shares by the promoters and an existing shareholder.
