description <p>This paper attempts to prove the existence of under-pricing of Indian Initial Public Offerings (IPOs).

Aftermarket performance is measured in terms of Market Adjusted Initial Returns for 30 days, 3 months and 12 months show an average of 6%, 17% and 26% respectively suggesting an over-performance of IPOs. Finally, using parameters employed in previous literature: firm age, market, proceeds, risk, and size, we conduct a regression analysis showing no factor affecting the under-pricing level.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Initial Public Offerings; Raw Initial Returns; Market Adjusted Initial Returns; Aftermarket</p><p align="left"><strong>JEL Classifications: </strong>F3, G2</p>
