This report provides details of IPOs in 2026 where Anchor Investors were allotted shares, highlighting the lock-in expiry dates applicable to their allotted shares.
Anchor Investors are large, experienced institutional investors who are allowed to invest before the IPO opens to the public. Because they get early access and large allocations, SEBI requires their shares to have a lock-in. 50% of the allotted shares to anchor investors are locked in for 30 days, and the remaining 50% are locked in for 90 days from the date of allotment.
The lock-in period makes sure anchor investors stay invested for some time, protecting retail investors from sudden price shocks and supporting orderly market behaviour after listing.
