Upcoming IPO in January
The Indian stock market is poised for a strong start to the new year, as five major companies prepare to launch their initial public offerings (IPOs) this month. Aiming to raise a total of approximately ₹18,000 crore, these offerings span a range of sectors, from the latest in artificial intelligence and green energy to hospitality and public sector companies.
After a brief lull in December, the market sentiment remains positive as quality issues hit the streets. While Reliance Jio’s mega-listing remains the most anticipated event of the year-end, these five launches are expected to test investor interest and set the tone for 2026.
1. Fractal Analytics IPO: India’s First AI Mainstay
Fractal Analytics is leading the way, poised to become the first pure-play AI company to debut on an Indian exchange. After postponing its initial launch to December 2025, the company has received the green light for an issue size of approximately ₹4,900 crore. The IPO includes a fresh issue of ₹1,279 crore to repay debt, fund R&D, and global expansion, as well as an offer for sale (OFS) of ₹3,621 crore by existing backers.
2. Clean Max Enviro IPO: Green Energy Major
Taking advantage of the renewable energy boom, Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions is ready with a large public issue of ₹5,200 crore. As a major provider of renewable power to the commercial and industrial sectors, its entry is eagerly awaited by ESG-focused investors.

BCCL IPO opens on January 9 and closes on January 14.

5. Prestige Hospitality Ventures IPO: Luxury on the Exchange
The Prestige Group’s hospitality arm is also included in the listing. With an issue size of ₹2,700 crore, Prestige Hospitality Ventures seeks to capitalize on the post-pandemic travel boom.
