Khaadi's IPO pushed to December amid increased regulatory scrutiny

Khaadi Pakistan Limited’s planned IPO has moved from November to December 2026, Profit by Pakistan Today reported, citing Business Recorder’s account of information from Arif Habib Limited (AHL), the financial adviser. The retailer intends to raise Rs6.2 billion to Rs8.3 billion to expand its retail network.

The report linked the revised timing to closer review by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and the Pakistan Stock Exchange after the SE Fruits and Vegetable IPO was cancelled in October over concerns about transactions. An SECP official said Khaadi’s review was part of the usual approval process; the company has not announced book-building dates, and its prospectus is open for public comments at the exchange.
