Dalal Street is bracing for a busy period with 81 IPO lock-in expiries scheduled between April 7 and July 31, potentially releasing shares valued at nearly $70 billion. Notable expiries include Tata Capital on April 13, which will unlock 2,858 million shares or 67% of its equity, and LG Electronics India on April 15, releasing 441 million shares or 65% of its equity. Other companies like Bharat Coking Coal and Amagi Media Labs will also see significant unlocks in April. While these expiries are typical in the IPO cycle, the concentrated nature of these events may attract market attention and could lead to short-term price pressures. Additionally, the current geopolitical climate, particularly tensions in the Middle East and rising crude prices, adds a layer of uncertainty, potentially influencing market reactions to these expiries. Analysts note that the actual impact will depend on the volume of shares sold in the secondary market, as many shares will likely remain with promoter groups.
