IPO Lock-In Expiry: ₹2,700 Crore Worth of Shares Set to Enter Stock Market

In a significant development for the Indian stock market, shares worth approximately ₹2,700 crore are poised to enter trading as IPO lock-in periods expire over the next two months. This influx of shares stems from lock-in expirations for 62 companies between February 28 and April 10, 2025. Notable companies affected include Swiggy, Ola Electric, and NTPC Green Energy. The expiry could potentially impact market dynamics, with NTPC Green Energy already experiencing a 10% drop this week. While this unlock may increase supply, many shares are still held by promoters and key investors, suggesting not all will be immediately sold. Investors and market participants are closely monitoring these expirations for their effects on liquidity and stock movements.
