IPOs This Week (28 Sep – 4 Oct 2026): Open Issues, Closing Dates and Listings

This is one of the busiest weeks for the primary market this year. Between Monday, 28 September and Sunday, 4 October, 31 IPOs take bids (10 on the mainboard and 21 on the SME platforms) and 20 companies make their stock market debut. Markets are shut on Friday, 2 October for Gandhi Jayanti, so there are only four trading days and several issues close on the same day.

Below are the dates, price bands and issue sizes for every issue, grouped by board. Grey market premium (GMP) and subscription figures change through the day, so open an IPO's page or the live IPO GMP table for the latest numbers.

The week at a glance

Wednesday, 30 September is the busiest day: nine issues open, five close and nine companies list. Tuesday has the most closings, with nine issues taking their last bids, and Friday is a market holiday. The chart shows how the week stacks up day by day.

Mainboard IPOs open this week

Eight mainboard issues are open at some point this week. Four of them close on Tuesday, 29 September, and two more open on Wednesday, 30 September.

Two other mainboard issues, A-One Steels India (₹405 a share, ₹405 Cr) and Moneyview (₹32 – 34, ₹1,091.68 Cr), closed on Monday, 28 September and list on Thursday, 1 October.

Of the two issues opening on Wednesday, Vishal Nirmiti is the larger at ₹178 crore. Both close on Monday, 5 October and are due to list on 8 October.

SME IPOs open this week

Eighteen SME issues are taking bids, from the ₹10.54 crore Dudani Retail issue to the ₹121.69 crore Acme India Industries issue. Another three (Green Asia Impex, Peshwa Wheat and Roopa Screen) closed on Monday and list on 1 October.

SME IPOs have large lot sizes, so the minimum application is much higher than on the mainboard. Use the SME IPO investment calculator to see what one application costs, and read SME IPO vs mainboard IPO for how the two differ on risk and liquidity.

IPO listings this week

Twenty companies list between Monday and Thursday: seven on the mainboard and thirteen on the SME platforms.

The largest listings by issue size are Elevate Campuses (₹2,100 Cr) on 30 September, Varmora Granito (₹1,096.04 Cr) on 29 September and Moneyview (₹1,091.68 Cr) on 1 October. The IPO listing today page shows the expected listing price from the latest GMP, and the actual listing price once trading starts.

Allotment and listing timetable

Under the T+3 timetable, the basis of allotment is finalised one working day after an issue closes, shares reach demat accounts the next working day, and listing follows on the third working day. The 2 October holiday and the weekend push this week's later listings into next week.

You can check your allotment on the IPO allotment status page once the registrar publishes it. Our guide on how to check IPO allotment status walks through the registrar and exchange websites.

What to look at before you apply

With so many issues in one week, it helps to have a short checklist. The IPO page for each company brings these together, but here is what each item tells you:

• What the company does and why it is raising money. The "objects of the issue" in the offer document show whether the fresh money goes into new capacity, paying off debt or general corporate purposes.
• Fresh issue vs offer for sale (OFS). Money from a fresh issue goes to the company. Money from an OFS goes to existing shareholders who are selling. An issue that is mostly OFS adds nothing to the business itself.
• Revenue and profit trend. Look at three years of restated financials. Steady growth in both is a better sign than a sudden jump in the year before the IPO.
• Valuation. Compare the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio at the upper price band with listed companies in the same business. A high GMP does not make an expensive issue cheap.
• Promoter holding after the issue. A large drop can mean the promoters are cashing out; a modest dilution with a big fresh issue usually means the money is going into the business.
• Subscription by category. Strong QIB (institutional) demand is often watched as a sign of how professional investors see the issue.

Our guides on DRHP vs RHP and the IPO glossary explain where to find each of these in the offer document.

How to use this week's list

• Watch the last day. Institutional (QIB) bids usually arrive on the final day, so subscription figures can change a lot in the last few hours.
• Treat GMP with care. The grey market premium is unofficial and can swing sharply. Our guide what is IPO GMP explains why it is only an indicator.
• Know what you are paying. The IPO application calculator shows the amount blocked for one lot or more, and the allotment chance calculator estimates your odds from the subscription figure.
• Keep track of dates. The IPO calendar lists every open, close, allotment and listing date, and you can add any IPO to your phone's calendar from its page.

Frequently asked questions

How many IPOs are open between 28 September and 4 October 2026?

31 IPOs take bids during the week: 10 on the mainboard and 21 on the SME platforms. Five of them close on Monday, 28 September and another nine on Tuesday, 29 September.

Why do IPOs that close on 29 September list on 5 October?

The T+3 timetable counts working days. Allotment is on Wednesday, shares are credited on Thursday, and Friday, 2 October is a market holiday, so the third working day after closing is Monday, 5 October.

Can I apply for several IPOs in the same week?

Yes. Each application blocks money in your bank account until allotment, so you need enough balance for every application. Money for IPOs you are not allotted is released after the basis of allotment.

Where can I check my allotment status?

On the registrar's website or on BSE and NSE after the basis of allotment. The IPO allotment status page on IPO Darbaar links to every registrar.

Dates, price bands and issue sizes are taken from the offer documents and the IPO Darbaar database as of 29 September 2026. Companies sometimes revise dates, so check an IPO's page before you apply.
