According to an update released by the regulator earlier this week, the other companies that received Sebi approval include Dhoot Transmission, Hotel Polo Towers, Crystal Crop Protection and Surgiwear.
The companies had submitted their draft red herring prospectuses (DRHPs) to Sebi between October and February. Under the regulatory framework governing public market issuances in India, Sebi’s observations are treated as formal approval for companies to launch IPOs subject to compliance with applicable listing requirements.
Among the approved issuers, Horizon Industrial Parks holds significance for the real estate and infrastructure sector due to its presence in India’s industrial and logistics real estate market. The company operates warehousing and logistics park assets catering to manufacturing, e-commerce and supply chain occupiers across multiple markets.
The approvals come amid sustained activity in India’s primary capital markets, where companies from sectors including logistics, technology, manufacturing, healthcare and consumer services continue to explore public listings to raise growth capital and improve market visibility.
Market participants have observed increasing investor interest in infrastructure-linked and logistics-focused businesses, supported by growth in e-commerce, industrial expansion and supply chain modernisation. Industrial and warehousing assets have also witnessed stronger institutional participation over the past few years, driven by demand from domestic and international investors.
Zepto is among the most closely watched companies preparing for a public listing, reflecting continued investor focus on technology-led consumer platforms and rapid delivery businesses operating in India’s urban consumption markets.
The latest approvals indicate continued momentum in the IPO pipeline despite evolving market conditions and valuation scrutiny across several sectors. Companies receiving Sebi observations are now expected to move towards finalising issue structures, price bands and listing timelines in the coming months.
