August 2026 IPO Rush: Where to Deploy Your Lalithaa Profits? (Skyways, Augmont, or SME Bets?)
Hey StockForum community!
With the Lalithaa Jewellery and Horizon Industrial Parks IPOs officially listed and funds finally unblocked, retail investors are sitting on some fresh capital. But the primary market isn’t giving us a chance to breathe! We are in the middle of one of the busiest IPO months of the year, with multiple mainboard and SME issues currently open for subscription.
At the same time, the broader market (Nifty and Sensex) is seeing some volatility due to global cues and Middle East tensions, making listing gains an attractive short-term strategy.
If you are looking to park your unblocked funds, here is a quick breakdown of the top IPOs currently open on the bourses. Which one is worth your application?
1. Augmont Enterprises (Mainboard) – 🚨 Closes TODAY!
If you missed the Lalithaa gold rush, Augmont is another major precious metals play.
-
Issue Dates:August 21 – August 25, 2026
-
Price Band:₹750 – ₹788
-
Verdict: Today is the last day to bid! Since this is a high-ticket price band, retail subscription numbers will be the key indicator to watch before the 2:00 PM cutoff.
2. Skyways Air Services (Mainboard) – The Logistics Play
Moving away from retail and jewelry, Skyways offers a solid B2B logistics opportunity. This is a massive 40-year-old Delhi-headquartered air and ocean freight forwarding company.
-
Issue Dates:August 24 – August 27, 2026
-
Price Band:₹131 – ₹138
-
Issue Size:₹583 crore
-
Verdict: Logistics is a high-growth sector right now. The lower price band makes it highly accessible for retail investors, but keep an eye on QIB numbers on Day 2 and 3.
3. The SME Battle: Madhur Knit Crafts vs. ABH Healthcare
For the high-risk, high-reward SME IPO hunters, we have two NSE SME issues that opened yesterday and close on August 27:
-
Madhur Knit Crafts: Price band is ₹95 – ₹100. The grey market is already showing early interest, with GMP hovering around ₹16 (approx. 16% premium).
-
ABH Healthcare: Price band is ₹96 – ₹102. Unlike Madhur Knit, this one is currently seeing zeroGMP action, indicating a lukewarm unofficial market response.
🗣️ Let’s Hear From You!
The IPO market is red-hot right now, but blind bidding can trap your capital.

Are you applying for the Augmont Enterprises IPO before the deadline today?
-
Does the Skyways Air Services logistics model look like a safer long-term bet compared to jewelry?
-
Is anyone taking the SME risk with Madhur Knit for that 16% GMP?
