India's IPO market surges with five companies set to raise Rs 7,300 crore

Meanwhile, Tata Technologies is preparing for its first group IPO since Tata Consultancy Services (NS:TCS) in 2004, with a price band of Rs 475-500 per share. The public offerings from Fedbank Financial Services, Flair Writing Industries, and Gandhar Oil Refinery India will commence shortly thereafter.
