Market Sentiment and Factors Driving Growth

The record-breaking capital raised in 2024 is attributed to:

3. Robust IPO Activity: Several high-profile IPOs from tech, manufacturing, and green energy sectors attracted significant investor interest.

Comparison to Previous Years

The 2024 performance significantly outshines 2023, where companies raised ₹ 49,436 crore, reflecting a remarkable turnaround in fundraising activity. It also broke the 2021 record of ₹ 1.88 lakh crore, underlining the accelerated pace of capital formation in the Indian economy.

Looking Ahead

With the momentum seen in 2024, market analysts predict continued fundraising activity, especially in emerging sectors like renewable energy, technology, and infrastructure. The record capital raised not only reflects the resilience of Indian firms but also positions the country as a leading destination for global investments.
