Abstract: The article examines the long-run performance of 377 initial public offerings (IPOs) made by Indian companies during the period 2005–2015. The objectives of the article are to analyze whether Indian IPOs underperform or outperform the broad market in the long run and to identify the key determinants of their long-run performance. The results show that the Indian IPOs outperform the broad market initially followed by significant underperformance in the long run. The IPOs listed on the main board during 2005–2015 yielded average initial excess returns (IERs) of about 22 per cent. However, 37 per cent of the IPOs provided negative IERs. The IPOs underperformed the broad market generating –57.33 per cent buy-and-hold abnormal return (BHAR) over 36 months after listing. Only 38 out of 377 IPOs (10 per cent) outperformed the benchmark index over a 36-month holding period. The important issue characteristics that influence the long-run performance of IPOs in India are the type of issuer (government-owned or private), lead manager prestige (LMP), promoter holding and the issue size.
