The SME IPO segment remains active with Dhaval Packaging among the issues currently attracting investor attention. The offering is part of a busy primary-market calendar in which several smaller businesses are using the SME platform to raise funds for expansion and working-capital requirements. Recent market data shows continued participation from investors despite volatility in the broader equity market.
The activity highlights the growing role of SME exchanges in providing smaller companies access to equity capital. However, SME IPOs can carry higher liquidity and volatility risks than mainboard issues. Investors therefore need to assess the company’s financial track record, issue valuation, promoter holding and post-listing liquidity before subscribing.
