This report highlights the Top 10 Mainboard IPOs in 2026 based on the amount collected from QIBs, a key measure of institutional endorsement, credibility, and market strength.
Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) are large, financially strong institutions that have the expertise to evaluate companies and invest in IPOs. QIBs includes Mutual Funds, Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), Banks and Insurance Companies, Provident & Pension Funds, Venture Capital Funds, Public & Development Financial Institutions (FIs/DFIs), State Industrial Development Corporations (SIDCs), Corporate Bodies, Family Offices, and similar institutional entities.
QIBs play a vital role in the IPO process. Their participation is often viewed as a strong vote of confidence in the company’s fundamentals, which can positively influence demand from other investor categories. During book-building, QIB bids are especially important because they help determine the fair price of the issue based on informed, research-driven valuations.
Amount collected from qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) in an issue refers to the total funds raised from applications submitted by institutional investors.
