Executive Summary
The India IPO Pipeline stream highlights robust listing activity with three key developments: NSE approval for Marsons Limited (effective March 13, 2026), BSE SME listing for Hannah Joseph Hospital Limited, and a mandatory open offer for Nilachal Refractories Ltd. amid a control acquisition. Adani group shows strong inorganic growth via Adani Enterprises' completion of 14.2% stake acquisition in Air Works India (boosting ownership to 99.98% at ₹400 Cr EV, following Air Works' 60% YoY turnover growth to ₹571 Cr in FY24-25) and Adani Ports' new 'CareEdge BBB+/Stable' rating. However, foreign investor GIC (GOS/MAS) continued stake reduction in InterGlobe Aviation, selling 0.126% (485,902 shares) on March 9, 2026, down from 5% since Dec 2024. Portfolio-level trends indicate positive momentum in SME/Main Board listings (3/6 filings) and M&A (2/6), but aviation sector faces foreign selling pressure. No broad margin compression or revenue declines noted; isolated +60% YoY growth in Air Works stands out as an outlier. Implications: Heightened IPO liquidity and Adani catalysts favor bulls, while insider sales signal aviation caution.
