New Delhi: The primary market continues to be a busy one with four firms, including Archean Chemical Industries and Five Star Business Finance, are set to float their IPOs next week to collectively raise about Rs5,000 crore.
The other two firms whose initial public offerings (IPOs) are ready to open are -- Kaynes Technology India and Inox Green Energy Services. This came after four companies launched their initial share-sales last week. Of these, two IPOs -- maker of snacks and sweets Bikaji Foods International and Global Health Ltd which operate hospitals under the Medanta brand -- are currently underway. The IPOs of Archean Chemical and Five Star Business will be open for public subscription on November 9 and close on November 11, while that of Kaynes Technology and Inox Green are set to kick off on November 10 and November 11 respectively, as per the red herring prospectus (RHP).
So far in 2022, as many as 26 companies have floated their IPOs to raise over Rs 48,000 crore. In 2021, 63 IPOs had mopped up over Rs 1.19 lakh crore, the data with exchanges showed. According to market experts, volatility in the secondary market led to a weak IPO market in 2022. Non-banking lender Five Star Business Finance's IPO is entirely an offer for sale (OFS) of shares to the tune of Rs 1,960 crore by existing shareholders and promoter group entities.

The NBFC is backed by investors like TPG, Matrix Partners, Norwest Ventures, Sequoia and KKR. The IPO of speciality marine chemical manufacturer Archean Chemical consists of a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to Rs 805 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 1.61 crore shares by the promoter and investors, including the India Resurgence Fund, a joint venture between the Piramal Group and Bain Capital.
Promoter Chemikas Speciality will sell 20 lakh shares via OFS, while investors Piramal Natural Resources and India Resurgence Fund will sell 38.35 lakh shares each.
