After a lull in primary market activity, a mild revival will be seen this week with Ather Energy Ltd. launching its initial public offering in the mainboard segment. Along with the electric two-wheeler maker, four small and medium enterprises will also be opening their IPOs.

This relative uptick in IPO activity comes after a period of drought, as public issues in the mainboard segment had dried out over the past couple of weeks.

The much-awaited IPO of Ather Energy will open on Monday, April 28. On the same date, two SMEs — Iware Supplychain Services Ltd. and Kenrik Industries Ltd. — will launch their public issues. The third SME IPO of the week, of Arunaya Organics Ltd., will open on Tuesday, April 29.

The fourth SME IPO of the week is of Wagons Learning Ltd., which will open on Friday, May 2.
