Indian Stock Market Faces $4 Billion IPO Lockup Expiration Amid ₹7 Lakh Crore Losses and $1 Trillion Decline

Sale restrictions on approximately $4 billion of newly listed Indian shares are set to expire on Monday, potentially increasing volatility in the stock market. This comes as the Indian market has already seen a decline of about $1 trillion in value since mid-December 2024. Reports indicate that investors have lost more than ₹7 lakh crore due to recent market falls, with the market capitalization of BSE-listed companies dropping to ₹41,771,803 crore, down from ₹42,478,048 crore on Friday. The expiration of these IPO lockups is expected to further impact stock prices and investor sentiment as market participants closely monitor the situation.
