India Sees Record DRHP Filings in 2025, But IPO Launches Plummet

India experienced a surge in DRHP filings to a decade-high in early 2025, indicating strong intent for public listings. However, IPO launches lagged due to macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. Despite these challenges, India captured nearly 22% of global IPO activity in Q1 2025, highlighting its market resilience. While only 10 companies launched IPOs compared to 85 DRHPs filed, the IPO market began recovery with six major firms looking to raise over Rs 11,000 crore.

India's March gold imports set to drop 90% as prices surge: Report

India's gold imports are set to plummet by over 90% in March compared to the previous month, reaching their lowest level since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. This significant drop is due to banks reducing imports as high prices dampened demand. The decline in imports could help India narrow its trade deficit and support its currency. Global gold prices, which hit a record high recently, may also be limited by lower imports from India, the world's second-largest consumer of the precious metal.
