DIIs and FPIs are steering Indian IPOs. DIIs backing loss-making names are shaping valuations, turning debates about profits into a pricing reality [1]. FPIs pumped about Rs 10,708 crore into the domestic primary market in October—roughly $1.2 billion—marking the fourth straight month of primary inflows [2].
DIIs backing loss-making IPOs Discussion centers on DIIs holding stakes in loss-making firms such as Swiggy and Ola Electric, prompting questions about when profits arrive [1].
FPIs and primary-market inflows In October, FPIs invested Rs 10,708 crore into the domestic primary market, channeling about $1.2 billion, with total primary inflows the fourth straight month beating secondary [2]. Overall FPI inflows for October rose to about $1.7 billion [2].
Valuation caution and due diligence One post cautions on valuations and urges due diligence before investing, noting IPO advertising is a legal requirement, to be published in English and vernacular newspapers [3].
Retail investors should watch how these big-money moves translate into real returns as firms scale and profitability timelines play out.
