IPO Rush: Four New SME Issues To Open This Week
As primary market activity slows, four new SME IPOs will open next week, whereas three continuing issues will close.

India's primary market hit a roadblock in March, with a notable slowdown in initial public offerings, marked by a complete absence of mainboard offerings and listings so far this month.
The upcoming SME IPOs in India this week are Desco Infratech Ltd., Shri Ahimsa Naturals Ltd., ATC Energies System Ltd. and Indentixweb Ltd. There are three active SME IPOs — Grand Continent Hotels Ltd., Rapid Fleet Ltd., and Active Infrastructures Ltd. — that will close this week.
