The firm solidified its market leadership in investment banking, achieving a 25.9% market share in mainboard IPOs. With a net worth of ₹30.7 billion and an integrated wealth management platform, the company is strategically positioned to capture the growing multi-year opportunity in India’s under-penetrated financial markets.
Financial Performance Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, IIFL Capital Services achieved strong operational metrics. The company reported an operating profit before tax of ₹1,441 million, representing a 14% year-on-year growth. Total revenue for the year stood at ₹24,388 million. The firm also witnessed significant expansion in its key business segments, including a 66% year-on-year growth in distribution AUM, reaching ₹521 billion, and a 67% year-on-year jump in average daily turnover to ₹3,229 billion.
Investment Banking Leadership
IIFL Capital has cemented its status as a top investment bank in India, securing the #1 position in the FY2026 IPO league tables. The firm successfully closed 45 transactions throughout the year. In Q4 FY26 alone, the division completed 9 transactions, including 5 IPOs and 3 private equity/private placement deals. The firm currently holds a robust pipeline, having filed 7 DRHPs during the final quarter.
Strategic Focus on Wealth Management
The firm is transitioning from a traditional product-led franchise to a scalable, multi-strategy asset manufacturing engine.

With assets under management and custody totaling ₹2,296 billion, IIFL Capital is leveraging its research capabilities—spanning 318+ stocks—to drive integrated wealth solutions.
