Gujarat recorded 35 small‑and‑medium enterprise IPOs in the first half of fiscal year 2027, the highest number of any Indian state, according to data reported by The Times of India.
Gujarat posted 35 SME (small and medium enterprise) initial public offerings in the first six months of FY27, topping all other Indian states, The Times of India reported. The tally reflects the state's robust participation in the capital markets by its small‑scale businesses.
The surge in SME listings underscores growing investor confidence in Gujarat's entrepreneurial ecosystem, which has benefited from state‑level incentives and a supportive regulatory environment. Analysts note that a higher number of listings can improve access to capital for emerging firms and stimulate regional economic activity.
While the data covers only the first half of the fiscal year, industry observers expect the trend to continue if market conditions remain favorable. The performance positions Gujarat as a leading hub for SME growth in India.
