The Indian equity markets are ready for a major liquidity event this week as four recently listed companies will see their IPO lock-in periods expire, releasing shares worth Rs. 63,043.79 crore into the market.
According to Nuvama Institutional Equities, 95 companies are slated to witness their pre-IPO lock-in releases between November 17, 2025, and February 26, 2026, together valued at around $30 billion.
Analysts emphasise that while the figures are large, a substantial portion of the unlocking shares belongs to promoters and strategic investor groups that typically do not liquidate aggressively.
The lock-in mechanism is established to keep price stability after the IPO by making sure that those who invested early in the company cannot sell the stock right after the IPO. Once the lock-in ends, the stock is eligible for trade, which leads to more liquidity being offered into the market.
However, if a meaningful portion of newly unlocked shares hits the market at once, short-term price pressure can emerge.
Analysts warn that stocks with high unlock percentages, especially those still trading near their IPO valuations, may see temporary volatility.
The company’s three-month lock-in expires today, making 11 lakh shares tradable, equivalent to 4% of outstanding equity.
Based on Friday’s closing price, the shares being freed are valued at Rs. 46.97 crore.
Go Digit will see 18.58 crore shares, or 20% of its equity, unlock on Tuesday. At Friday’s valuation, the newly tradable shares are worth Rs. 6,514.65 crore.
This is likely to be closely watched, given the stock’s wide retail and institutional investor base.
The biggest unlock of the week comes from NTPC Green Energy. Its one-month lock-in ends, releasing 580.6 crore shares, representing 69% of total equity.
The value of these shares, based on Friday’s market price, stands at an enormous Rs. 56,405.29 crore.
Borana Weaves will see 26 lakh shares, or 10% of equity, come out of lock-in. Shares worth Rs. 76.88 crore become eligible for trading.
NTPC Green Energy's IPO of Rs. 10,000 crore, consisting entirely of fresh equity shares, opened on November 19, 2024, and was listed on November 27, 2024.
The price range was determined at Rs. 108 per share, and retail investors would be required to apply for a minimum lot of 138 shares.
A total of 1.94 crore shares were reserved for employees with a discount of Rs. 5.

Experts believe this week’s unlocks will increase liquidity, but caution that stocks with large unlock percentages, particularly NTPC Green, may see heightened volatility.
Still, since many shares are promoter-held, the actual volume hitting the market may be significantly lower than the theoretical total.
Analysts suggest investors track delivery data and block deals over the next few sessions to gauge the true sell-off pressure.
