List of Stocks Whose Lock-in Periods End in November

What is lock-in period in an IPO?

The lock-in period is the time until the end of which investors (including promoters, employees, early investors) of a company that released its IPO, must hold their shares, regardless of the price in the market. This restriction is placed in order to prevent the major investors from offloading their shares the moment prices of the newly issued IPOs see a major jump. 

The period allows the company to stabilise its finances and operations, before full-fledged trading of a large share of its stocks and the related risk exposure can commence. 

The SEBI had recently reduced the required lock-in period from one year to only 6 months. This regulation came into effect on 1st April, 2022. Therefore, there are a lot of companies with varying lock-in periods (such as 12 months or 6 months) that will be releasing a large amount of shares onto the market in November. Such a phenomenon may even decrease the prices of these stocks temporarily due to the oversupply of shares in the market. Investors, therefore, should be aware of which stocks are at the risk of seeing a fall in price in the coming weeks.
