Upcoming IPOs Next Week Draw Investor Attention
Hy-Tech Engineers, Skyways Air and Symbiotec Pharmalab are among the IPOs expected to open next week as activity in India’s primary market continues alongside a volatile secondary market.
The supplied schedule identifies nine issues opening during the coming week and eight companies scheduled for listing. The activity gives investors a fresh set of primary-market opportunities even as benchmark indices remain sensitive to global developments and elevated crude oil prices.
Details such as issue size, price bands and individual opening dates for all nine offerings were not provided in the supplied material, so those figures are not included here.
Indian Stock Market Ends Second Week Lower
The upcoming IPO activity comes after a difficult week for Indian equities. The NIFTY50 declined by 114 points, equivalent to 0.5%, while the BSE SENSEX dropped 468.42 points, or 0.6%, during the week ending August 21.
Higher crude prices and weak global cues remained major factors influencing sentiment. Brent crude prices climbed nearly 7% during the week and settled at $93.93 per barrel as uncertainty surrounding efforts to end the Middle East conflict continued.
Concerns over energy supplies also intensified following conflicting developments involving Iran and the United States, including uncertainty over transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
Crude Oil and Global Developments Shape Sentiment
Iran said it would adopt a more offensive stance, while the United States ruled out extending the ceasefire agreement. The developments increased uncertainty over energy supplies and contributed to the rise in crude prices.
U.S. President Donald Trump also announced on August 19 what he described as the “most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country,” threatening broad economic penalties against countries and businesses providing financial or other support to Iran.
Global markets remained mixed during the week amid the uncertainty surrounding oil supplies. Some relief came after U.S. Treasury yields declined following an announcement from the U.S. Treasury Department that it would at least double planned purchases of longer-term Treasuries between September 9 and November 4.
India Diversifies Crude Oil Sources
India is also expanding its crude oil sourcing toward Latin America as disruptions linked to the Iran conflict and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz encourage the world’s third-largest oil consumer to diversify supplies.
Ship-tracking data cited in the supplied material indicated that the shift is taking place against a backdrop of continued concern over energy security and international oil flows.
Core Infrastructure Growth Slows
Domestic economic data provided another important backdrop for the market. India’s eight core infrastructure sectors grew 5.4% in July, slowing from 6% growth in the previous month, according to official data released on Thursday.
The slowdown came as investors assessed domestic economic indicators alongside global risks, crude prices and developments in financial markets.
Stocks That Moved During the Week
HDFC Life Insurance Company was the strongest NIFTY50 gainer, rising 3.5%. Eternal gained 3%, while Kotak Mahindra Bank advanced 3%. Power Grid Corporation of India and Axis Bank rose 2.4% and 2.3%, respectively.
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles was the biggest NIFTY50 decliner, falling 5%. HCL Technologies dropped 4.2%, Infosys declined 4.1%, InterGlobe Aviation fell 3.8% and ITC slipped 3.2%.
Tata Motors PV shares weakened after the company announced that prices across its internal combustion engine and electric vehicle portfolios would rise by up to ₹25,000 per vehicle from September 1, 2026.
InterGlobe Aviation also came under pressure after DGCA data showed domestic air passenger traffic fell 4.80% in July to 1.20 crore from 1.26 crore in the same month a year earlier. IndiGo carried 80.82 lakh passengers during the month, compared with 89.20 lakh in June.
Midcap and Smallcap Stocks Show Mixed Performance
The broader market performed differently from the benchmark indices. The NIFTY Midcap 100 slipped 0.1%, while the NIFTY Smallcap 100 gained 1.2% during the week.
Motilal Oswal Financial Services led the NIFTY Midcap 100 gainers with a 9.5% rise, followed by MCX at 9.4% and Lenskart Solutions at 8.1%.
Among small-cap stocks, Welspun Corp surged 23.4% after securing a record $1.8 billion, or approximately ₹17,200 crore, pipe-supply order from its U.S. manufacturing facility. The order is scheduled for execution during FY 2027-28 and FY 2028-29.
Urban Company gained 9.8% after its Middle East arm partnered with Unicommerce to support its e-commerce operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Sectoral Performance and Market Volatility
The NIFTY Metal and NIFTY Realty indices were the strongest sectoral performers, each rising 1.8%. NIFTY Media gained 1.4%, while NIFTY Private Bank advanced 1.3%. The NIFTY Bank index finished 0.5% higher.
On the losing side, NIFTY IT declined 2.6%, NIFTY FMCG fell 2.3%, NIFTY PSU Bank dropped 1.4%, NIFTY Pharma slipped 0.3% and NIFTY Auto declined 0.3%.
India VIX fell 0.9% during the week, indicating a moderation in the market’s measure of expected volatility. Against this mixed market backdrop, the upcoming IPO calendar will provide investors with a new set of primary-market issues and eight scheduled listings to watch in the coming week.
