The primary market enables the government as well corporate in raising the capital that is required to meet their requirements of capital expenditure and/or discharge of other obligations such as exit opportunities for venture capitalist/ PE firms. It is that part of the capital markets that deals with the issuance of new securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers. The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new stock issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus. A primary market creates long term instruments through which corporate entities borrow from capital market. The present paper makes an attempt to describe the important trends and developments in respect of Indian Primary Capital Market (New Issue Market) based upon the analysis of published data.
