Highest Subscribed IPOs in 2020
Final Words
The list mentioned above of prospective IPOs is subject to periodic revision as the information is not updated on the exchanges yet. Generally, when companies file their IPO application with Sebi, they have to submit their draft red herring prospectus (DRHP). Most of the above-mentioned companies have already done that or are in the process doing so. According to an estimate, 30 companies are expected to go public this year.
However, before investing in an IPO, read the pros and cons, risks and rewards, about the company and know if investing in that company is in line with your goals.
