Tata Capital Ltd. has had a muted listing today, after raising as much as $1.75 billion in India’s biggest IPO of 2025.
On Monday (13 October 2025), the Tata Capital share price rose as much as 2.08% over and above the IPO price of ₹326 to ₹332.80 apiece on the BSE even as the benchmark Sensex traded 0.25% lower.
“The company is positioned for long-term growth, backed by a strong brand and a widening network of branches across India,” Indian brokerage Choice said in a note. But given that some of its measures like return on assets are lower than those of peers, the broker only recommended the stock as a long-term investment.
Tata Capital, the non-banking financial company of India’s oldest and most reputed conglomerate, kicks off what is going to be a big week for debuts in the country as the shares of LG Electronics India Ltd. are scheduled to start trading on Tuesday.
Their performance will be closely watched as scores of Indian companies prepare to go public and raise billions of dollars in India’s increasingly hot IPO market.
