In this context, one must be aware of what is an IPO. As per the official NSE website, a corporate may raise capital in the primary market by way of an initial public offer, rights issue or private placement. An Initial Public Offer (IPO) is the selling of securities to the public in the primary market. It is the largest source of funds with long or indefinite maturity for the company.

The tweet from NSE said, "Considering investing in upcoming IPOs? It is important for you to understand the different grades of IPOs. The grade represents a relative assessment of the fundamentals of that issue in relation to the other listed equity securities in India."
