How to Participate in an IPO
The ASBA mechanism simplifies IPO participation. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Get a Demat Account: You need a Demat account with a broker like Zerodha or Upstox to hold shares electronically.
- Stay Informed: Track IPO announcements on financial news sites or your broker's platform.
- Apply via ASBA: Use your net banking portal to apply. Funds are blocked, not debited, until shares are allotted, ensuring liquidity.
- Check Grey Market Premium (GMP): While unofficial, GMP can indicate market sentiment before listing but should be treated with caution.
- Check Allotment Status: Status is available on the registrar’s website (like Link Intime) or your broker’s portal within a week of the subscription closing.
- Listing Day: Once listed on an exchange like the BSE or NSE, you can trade the shares.
Conclusion and Outlook
The 2025 IPO pipeline underscores the vibrancy of Indian capital markets. This trend is set to enhance market depth, fuel economic growth, and offer diverse opportunities. However, investors must conduct thorough due diligence, balancing potential rewards against market volatility and company-specific risks.
