Below the Comment on SEBI extending deadline for IPOs till Sep by Saurabh Jain, Head of Fundamental Research, SMC Global Securities  

SEBI’s extension provides significant relief to companies that had delayed or withdrawn IPOs due to volatile market conditions. It allows them additional time to retain regulatory approvals without restarting the entire process, saving both cost and effort. Firms can now reassess valuations, strengthen financials, and relaunch at more favorable timings. This flexibility improves strategic planning and reduces pressure to list in weak markets, ultimately enhancing the chances of better pricing and investor participation.

The extension, combined with easing geopolitical tensions such as a ceasefire in West Asia, can revive investor confidence and risk appetite. Nearly 40 firms that were at risk of approval lapses now have a renewed window to tap markets. If macroeconomic stability continues and liquidity remains strong, 2026 could witness a robust IPO pipeline. Improved sentiment, stable valuations, and institutional participation may lead to a more feasible and well-received set of public offerings.
