The year 2023 is turning out to be very slow for Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Since the end of January, there haven't been any major mainboard IPO announcements. That’s not all. Hindenburg’s allegations on the Adani Group caused a major market panic and a complete rout of the stocks of all Adani group companies.
It also led to the cancellation of a Follow On Public Offering (FPO) from Adani Enterprises. With the market jittery, it looks like companies are choosing to stay away from IPOs for the remainder of February. However, as March dawns upon us, the situation may change. If it does, here’s a list of companies that might come up with upcoming IPOs in March.

Some of the services that the company offers include manpower sourcing, supply, recruitment, and staffing. Currently, it has a total employee base of about 800, including regular and contractual employees.
Through the upcoming IPO 2023, the company is planning to issue around 17,00,000 equity shares for Rs. 51 per share. This brings the total value of the public issue to about Rs. 8.67 crores. The shares of the company would be listed on the SME platform of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
2. San Trica Realtors Limited
Another company that was incorporated in 2007, San Trica Realtors Limited is an entity in the business of developing hotels and restaurants. It is also involved in developing residential and commercial projects, which include 2 properties in Palghar and 1 each in Pune and Mumbai. All of these projects are undertaken under the brand - ‘Akanksha’.
Through the upcoming public issue, San Trica Realtors Limited will be issuing about 32,00,000 equity shares for Rs. 125 per share. This brings the entire size of their IPO to about Rs. 40 crores. The shares of the company would be listed on the BSE’s SME platform.
3. Penna Cement Industries Limited
One of the largest cement manufacturers in India, Penna Cement Industries currently has as many as 4 integrated manufacturing facilities and 2 grinding facilities. This puts their total annual cement production capacity at around 10 million tonnes as of March 31, 2021.
Out of the entire IPO worth Rs. 1,550 crores, around Rs. 1,300 crores would be from a fresh issue of shares, whereas the remaining Rs. 250 crores would be from an Offer for Sale (OFS) from the company’s promoters.
