Five Mainboard IPOs to Open Next Week as Jio Platforms and Paras Healthcare Finalise Allotments — October 24, 2026

India's primary market is gearing up for another high-activity stretch in the coming week, driven by a series of fresh public issues and key post-issue milestones. Five mainboard initial public offerings (IPOs) are slated to open for subscription over the course of the week, offering retail and institutional investors exposure across alternative asset management, industrial plastics, environmental engineering, gems and jewellery, and specialty steel.

Simultaneously, Monday, October 26, marks an important milestone for investors awaiting share allocations from the previous bidding cycle, with two significant mainboard allotments due.

Two Key Allotments Due on October 26

Investors who participated in the bidding window that concluded late last week will have their eyes on registrar portals and stock exchange verification windows on Monday.

Allotments to Watch:

• Jio Platforms IPO: Following the close of its public issue on October 23, the basis of allotment is scheduled for finalisation on October 26. Managed by registrar KFin Technologies, the mega-issue saw broad market participation and is slated to list on the BSE and NSE on October 28.
• Paras Healthcare IPO: The ₹1,450-crore book-built issue, which also closed for bidding on October 23, is set to complete its share allocation process on October 26. The company is scheduled to debut on secondary bourses on October 28 alongside Jio Platforms.

Under the current T+3 settlement and listing timeline, non-allottees will see fund unblocking or refunds initiated via ASBA and UPI mandates immediately following allotment finalisation, with credited shares reaching successful applicants' demat accounts ahead of the listing date.
