Tata Capital IPO gets sold out on final day but GMP indicates muted listing
That Tata Capital GMP is just ₹7/share points to a muted listing on 13 October. Demand for the Tata Capital IPO is led by wealthy and not retail investors.
Mumbai (8 October 2025): The initial public offering of Tata Capital Ltd. got sold out on the final day of bidding, but the grey market premium suggests muted listing for what is India's biggest IPO of 2025.
Investors have bid for 65.19 crore shares against 33.34 crore shares on offer in the Tata Capital IPO—that equates to a subscription of 1.96 times at close on Wednesday (8 October 2025), according to data on the website of the National Stock Exchange of India. The non-banking financial company has raised ₹21,253.891 crore from 23,61,452 applications.
The demand was led by qualified institutional buyers, who picked up 3.42 times shares reserved for them in the IPO. The portions reserved for non-institutional investors was subscribed 1.98 times while retail investors and employees picked up 1.10 and 2.92 times shares earmarked for them.
The Tata Capital IPO was subscribed 50% on the first day (Monday) and 75% on the second day (Tuesday). The company raised ₹4,642 crore from anchor investors on Friday, 3 October 2025.
Tata Capital IPO GMP
According to Investorgain, Tata Capital shares are trading at a premium of ₹7 apiece over the price band of ₹310-326 in the unofficial market, indicating a muted listing for the Tata Group firm on 13 October. That's stark for a company that enjoyed a GMP of ₹735-1,125 apiece before the issue price was announced on 29 September.
Such a “discount” leaves the headroom for a listing-day pop, analysts had said when the IPO opened for subscription on Monday.
At the top end of the price band, Tata Capital shares would trade at about 3.4 times book value, according to SBI Securities. That’s cheaper than listed peers such as Bajaj Finance Ltd. and HDB Financial Services Ltd., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
To be sure, the grey market premium is a signal, not a guarantee. It reflects what traders are willing to pay for an IPO-bound stock in the unofficial market—it doesn’t guarantee listing-day gains. The GMP can swing dramatically as it’s detached from fundamentals of a stock.
