The IPO frenzy kicks off with EAAA India Alternatives, which will open its Rs 1,200-crore offering on October 26. This issue is part of a larger initiative where companies aim to raise Rs 2,780.66 crore, with Rs 2,580.99 crore coming from mainboard IPOs. EAAA India Alternatives, promoted by Edelweiss, has already garnered Rs 360 crore through its anchor book prior to the public offering.
Following EAAA, SFC Environmental Technologies and BLS Polymers will open their IPOs on October 27. SFC is looking to raise Rs 667.53 crore, while BLS aims for Rs 255 crore. Both companies have set their price bands at Rs 313-330 and Rs 142-150 per share, respectively.

The SME segment is also active this week, with four IPOs expected to raise Rs 199.67 crore. Wiscon Industries will kick off this segment with its Rs 110-crore IPO on October 27. Other notable SME offerings include Carver Roboweld and Ajwa Projects, with their IPOs scheduled for October 28.
As Jio Platforms prepares for its stock market debut, shares are already trading at a premium of approximately 22% in the grey market. This reflects strong investor interest in the company, which is part of Reliance Industries. The upcoming listings are anticipated to have significant implications for market dynamics and investor sentiment in the coming weeks.
