Cumulatively, the issues worth Rs 1,220 crore will close in the upcoming week. This action was further aided by the listing of Venus Pipers and Delhivery on Dalal Street.
“Given the fall in the global market and the poor listing and post-listing performance of
, markets will be keenly watching the subscriptions of eMudhra and Aether Industries, ” said Vijay Singhania, Chairman, TradeSmart.
“Both the companies are profitable and running for a while, so they may not be beaten down like new-age companies,” he added. “The issue size is small and both are operating in relative niche areas, so subscription may not be too difficult.”
The Rs 412.8 crore IPO of eMudhra had kicked off for subscription on Friday, May 20. The company is selling its shares in the range of Rs 243-256 apiece. The issue is open for subscription till Tuesday, May 24.
eMudhra is India’s largest licenced certifying authority. The company’s business is divided into two verticals — Digital Trust Services and Enterprise Solutions.

Along with it, Aether Industries will launch its Rs 808.04 crore IPO on Tuesday, May 24. The company will sell its share in the range of Rs 610-648 apiece. The issue will remain open till Thursday, May 26.

With a positive outlook on Aether Industries, Srivastava said that it is a speciality chemicals manufacturer in India with solid revenue and growth numbers.
“Given the increasing focus on the speciality chemicals in the GOI’s PLI scheme and China+1 strategy, we see this sector come in flavour soon,” she added.
The sentiments in the Indian primary markets remain jittered following the muted listing of the LIC, which dropped 13 per cent since its listing on May 17. Even the listing of Prudent Corporate Advisory disappointed the investors.
Varun Sridhar, CEO
Money, said that the current subdued market sentiment is a good time for existing investors to take a look at their asset allocation strategy and rebalance their portfolios.
“This should also be a good time for new investors to learn about the markets and take informed positions as fundamentals led investing is going to take center stage, and long term investors are likely to win,” he added.
