The Indian primary market is gearing up for another busy week of 2023, featuring a roster of new offerings and multiple new listings. This year has emerged as the epitome of IPO activity, witnessing a flurry of companies making their way to Dalal Street to secure funds.

Notably, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have gained significant interest from investors. Many of these SMEs, which have gone public this year, have experienced an overwhelmingly positive response from retail and non-institutional investors.

The robust investor enthusiasm has translated into impressive subscription rates during the bidding process. Consequently, these SME stocks have made market debuts with substantial premiums, surpassing their issue prices by a considerable margin.

Building on this momentum, the last week of 2023 will witness another six SME companies raising funds, while stocks of 10 companies are scheduled to make their debut on the exchanges.
