Tata Technologies IPO VS IREDA IPO: Where To Invest?

November 21,2023

If you are someone who believes in saving to ensure that you have enough capital for present and future expenses, investing in the stock market can prove to be fruitful. The stock market contains numerous investment instruments that have the ability to provide good returns by increasing the invested capital in its value. Among numerous investment instruments, one of the most invested for the highest returns is equities.

Equities are shares of companies that are listed on the stock exchanges, where investors can buy and sell them to make profits. For example, you can buy shares of a company currently trading at Rs 100 and sell them when the share prices increase to make a profit. However, all the companies trading on the stock exchanges were once private companies or subsidiaries and offered their shares for the first time to the general public for listing on the stock exchanges on a particular day. 

Imagine if you could have bought the shares of Dmart before it got listed on the stock exchanges at Rs 299, which are now trading at Rs 3,800. Well, one of the best ways to make good and quick profits is to invest in a company’s shares during the time it offers its shares for the first time.
