Upcoming IPOs Next Week (October 19–23, 2026): Jio Platforms, Paras Healthcare and Key Listings
Two mainboard IPOs open next week: Jio Platforms (₹1,065–1,119 per share) and Paras Healthcare (₹660–693), both from October 21 to 23, 2026. Before that, the Zetwerk, Tonbo Imaging, Bonfiglioli Transmissions and Sahajanand Medical Technologies issues close on Monday, October 19, and HD Fire Protect and Fusion CX are scheduled to list. Markets are shut on Tuesday, October 20, for Dussehra.
It's one of the busiest IPO weeks of 2026, and the timing matters. If you've applied to this week's issues, your money stays blocked until allotment, which can overlap with the Jio window. Here's the full calendar and what to plan for.
Key Takeaways
- Opening: Jio Platforms (₹30,213 crore) and Paras Healthcare (₹1,450 crore), October 21–23.
- Closing Monday: Zetwerk, Tonbo Imaging, Bonfiglioli Transmissions, Sahajanand Medical Technologies and Shellz India (SME).
- Listings: HD Fire Protect (October 21) and Fusion CX (October 22), tentatively.
- Holiday: No trading on Tuesday, October 20.
- GoPocket calculation: Jio alone is about 95% of the ₹31,663 crore sought by IPOs opening next week.

Issue details as reported by Zee Business and other media, October 2026.
SME IPOs carry higher risk than mainboard issues because of smaller business size, lower liquidity and larger minimum application amounts.
IPO Listings Next Week
- HD Fire Protect (October 21, tentative): The ₹712.31 crore issue was a pure offer for sale by the promoters at ₹258–271. Business Today reported it was valued at about 40.7 times FY26 earnings at the upper band. See our HD Fire Protect IPO guide.
- Fusion CX (October 22): The ₹702 crore issue lists on BSE and NSE. Read how to check your allotment in our Fusion CX IPO allotment status guide.
GoPocket Analysis: Plan Your Funds Before Applying
Money for an IPO bid is blocked in your bank account through UPI or ASBA until allotment. That creates a cash-flow problem in a week like this.
- If you bid in Monday's closing IPOs, those funds may stay blocked until allotment, which falls after the October 20 holiday.
- Jio Platforms and Paras Healthcare close on Friday, October 23.
- So, for a few days, you may need cash for both sets of bids at once.
Here's what one minimum application in each costs at the upper band:
| IPO | Minimum bid (upper band) |
|---|---|
| Jio Platforms | ₹13,428 (12 × ₹1,119) |
| Paras Healthcare | ₹14,553 (21 × ₹693) |
| Both | ₹27,981 |
On size, Jio Platforms' ₹30,213 crore is about 95.4% of the ₹31,663 crore that the two opening issues seek (30,213 ÷ 31,663). A very large issue can draw a big share of market liquidity in a given week, which may affect demand for smaller issues running alongside it. That's a common pattern, not a certainty.
How Should Retail Investors Approach a Busy IPO Week?
- Read the RHP: Check financials, risk factors and how the money will be used.
- Know the quota: Paras Healthcare reserves only 10% for retail, so allotment chances can be lower.
- One application per PAN: Multiple applications under the same PAN are rejected.
- Don't rely on GMP: Grey market premiums are unofficial and not regulated.
- Bid at cut-off: Retail investors can choose the cut-off price so the bid isn't rejected if the final price is at the top of the band.
