Groww — IPOs (Apply & Calendar)

groww.in

Groww provides a retail‑friendly IPO workflow for India: browse upcoming/open/closed IPOs (Mainboard & SME), apply using a UPI mandate, and track allotment/listing. Bond IPOs are now supported on the app. IPO applications on Groww use UPI (₹5 lakh daily cap for capital‑market UPI), while ASBA remains available via banks separately. Allotment status can be checked in‑app if you applied on Groww; otherwise, Groww links to NSE/BSE and registrar pages. Trading APIs (separate, optional subscription) exist for order placement and live data but do not document IPO application endpoints.

Curation & Accuracy

This directory blends AI‑assisted discovery with human curation. Entries are reviewed, edited, and organized with the goal of expanding coverage and sharpening quality over time. Your feedback helps steer improvements (because no single human can capture everything all at once).

Details change. Pricing, features, and availability may be incomplete or out of date. Treat listings as a starting point and verify on the provider’s site before making decisions. If you spot an error or a gap, send a quick note and I’ll adjust.
