Upcoming IPOs in 2026: Reliance Jio, Flipkart, and Zepto Lead the Pack

So the Indian primary market is bracing for a massive 2026. Over 100 IPOs hit the mainboard last year. A fluke? Not likely. In fact, the current line-up looks even bigger. Still, investors are watching the “big three” most closely.

But here is the main event. Reliance Jio is prepping what could be India’s largest-ever listing. The goal? A first-half 2026 launch. And Mukesh Ambani’s team is just waiting on government rules before filing papers. The catch? The timeline depends on new SEBI notifications.

The rules changed recently. Now, firms over ₹1 lakh crore only need to dilute 2.75% of equity. Previously, the rule sat at 5%. So this helps “very large” players enter the market. Officials call it a relaxation. Critics call it a gift.

Still, Jio isn’t the only giant in the room. Flipkart recently got the nod to move its home base from Singapore to India. A 2026 public offer is the next logical step. And they even hired two new VPs to scale up supply chains. Success? We’ll see.

Then there is the fintech world. PhonePe already has SEBI’s green light to raise funds. Expect an updated filing soon. Plus, media reports suggest this offer will consist entirely of existing shares. No fresh capital here.

What about the “quick commerce” race? Zepto has already filed secret papers for its debut. OYO did the same. And both companies want a piece of the 2026 action. But the competition is getting fierce.

Worth noting: SBI Mutual Fund and boAt are also in the queue. SBI is still working on early docs. Meanwhile, boAt already has SEBI approval in hand. So the market is getting crowded. Good luck to the latecomers.
