Shares worth nearly ₹3,769 crore from 12 recently listed companies are set to become eligible for trading in April 2026, potentially increasing selling pressure in the secondary market, according to a report by domestic brokerage firm Axis Capital. The overhang stems from the scheduled expiry of anchor investor lock-in periods.

The counters of Central Mine Planning & Design, Bharat Coking Coal, GSP Crop Science, Sedemac Mechatronics, Omnitech Engineering, PNGS Reva Diamond Jeweller, Clean Max Enviro Energy, Gaudium IVF & Women Health, Fractal Analytics, Aye Finance, Shadowfax Technologies, and Amagi Media Labs will be among the companies in the main board space to see their lock-in periods expire.

The expiry of anchor lock-ins is closely tracked by investors as it can influence post-IPO stock performance. Anchor investors, typically institutional investors such as mutual funds, foreign portfolio investors, and insurance companies, are required to hold shares for a fixed period, generally 30, 90, or 180 days after listing. Once the lock-in ends, these investors are free to sell their holdings in the open market.
