Tata Capital had its market introduction on October 13, 2025, and although completely subscribed, the event was still just a bit overshadowed by a reluctant investor’s enthusiasm. It was a success, but the listing was not accompanied by the kinds of fireworks that are sometimes associated with headline floatations.
The size of the deal was $1.75 billion before the listing, which made it the largest IPO in India for 2025 till now (Figma IPO takes in US spot). Institutional investors drove demand, oversubscribing their share by around 1.2 times. Non-institutional bidders offered 1.13 times, while retail investors participated more cautiously at about 0.84 times subscription. Before the public offering, about $523 million was injected by anchor investors, including Norway’s sovereign wealth fund and LIC.
Through a mix of new equity issuance and an offer for sale by current shareholders, Tata Capital had sought a valuation of up to $15 billion. Shares crawled up slightly as trading got underway, listing at ₹330 against the ₹326 offering price for around 1.2 %. That gave the business a market value near $15.78 billion (nearly ₹1.4 trillion). Tata Capital’s premium listing was met with some negative comments because the expectations were thought to be set too high in comparison with competitors like Bajaj Finance and Jio Financial.
Besides the fears regarding the high valuation, there were also concerns that other factors, like the very successful LG Electronics India IPO , the event that attracted the most demand and publicity, might have affected the listing. The fears about the recent governance controversies in the larger Tata Group negatively impacted investor confidence and thus contributed to the market sentiment being further depressed. Some of the market participants were still confused regarding the future of Tata Capital . Entry of Tata Capital is not just about fantastic returns, but it indicates the increasing range of choices of investors and their increasing precision.
