IPO means Initial Public Offer. hence, it is a source of finance for a newly incorporated company. When 2nd time offer is made it is called as "FPO" i.e. Followon Public Offer. So, only a public company can make "IPO". Hence, it is true. But, requirements of companies act like.......

1. minimum subscripttion

2. listing in stock exchanges,

etc.... need to be satisfied with.

only public companies as defined in the companies act can cum up with ipo.

for a pvt co. intending to go for ipo it first needs to get itself converted into a public company and then it also can go for ipo.

u may refer SEBI (ICDR Regulations) that will give you insight of the eligibility criterias and other imp. aspects relating to ipo.

The principal participants in the IPO process are the company’s management, board of directors, counsel, independent accountants, and pre-IPO stockholders; the managing underwriters, research analysts, and underwriters’ counsel; and, of course, the SEBI.

New Listing is a process through which a company which is already listed on other stock exchange/s approaches the Exchange for listing of its equity shares. The companies fulfilling the eligibility criteria prescribed by the Exchange; from time to time; are listed on the Exchange.
