IPO mania: 20 years ago investors would have lost Rs 1,300 crore as interest, says Nithin Kamath

"After a long time, we have had massive activity in the IPO market, with Rs 2.6 lakh crore blocked in bank accounts for IPOs worth Rs 7,600 crore. If this was 2003, it would take 16 working days (or ~1 month), and the entire money would have moved to investment bankers and cost investors (an interest forego) at least 0.5% (assuming 6% pa) or Rs 1300 crores," Kamath tweeted.
