These are some of the companies that have filed their draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) to the market regulator for approval of the IPOs.

A DRHP is an offer document submitted to market regulator securities and exchange board of India (SEBI) having all details about the company’s business operations and financials when it is planning to raise money from the public issue of shares.

Price bands and dates of these upcoming IPOs are not known now, as they are usually finalised at the time of filing of the red herring prospectus (RHP) or prior to the IPO opening for subscription. RHP is an extended version of the DRHP with additional details about IPO dates, price and the latest financial data. RHP is also known as IPO Final Prospectus.
