Indira IVF Hospital cancels IPO, Withdraws Draft Papers

New Delhi: Fertility clinic chain Indira IVF Hospital has withdrawn its draft IPO papers, which were filed through the confidential route, an update with markets regulator Sebi showed. The confidential pre-filing route allows the company to withhold public disclosure of details under the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP). Further, pre-filing DRHP does not guarantee the company will go ahead with the initial public offering (IPO). The preliminary IPO papers were received by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on February 13, however, “draft offer document (was) withdrawn on March 19, 2025” by the company without disclosing any reasons. Last week, PhysicsWallah joined the league of a handful of companies that took confidential filing routes for its IPO. In 2024, food delivery giant Swiggy and supermart major Vishal Mega Mart successfully floated their respective initial share sales after making confidential filings. Before this, online hotel aggregator OYO took the confidential filing route in 2023 but did not proceed with the initial share sale.
