Tata Investment Shares Surge 8% as Tata Capital IPO Inches Closer to SEBI Greenlight
Investor excitement intensifies as Tata Capital’s massive ₹17,200 crore IPO nears SEBI approval, driving a strong upward movement in Tata Investment Corporation’s shares.
Tata Investment Stock Rallies Amid IPO Buzz
On June 6, shares of Tata Investment Corporation experienced a notable jump, climbing nearly 8% to hit ₹7,150 each on the BSE. This sudden surge followed reports indicating that Tata Capital’s much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO), valued at ₹17,200 crore (approximately $2 billion), is on the verge of receiving regulatory clearance Approval granted by India’s market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board.
Investors responded with enthusiasm to the prospects of Tata Capital’s market debut, viewing it as a major milestone in the Tata Group’s ongoing expansion within India’s financial services ecosystem. The IPO is expected to unlock value and enhance visibility for related entities, including Tata Investment Corporation.
SEBI Nod Expected Soon for Mega IPO
According to recent reports, SEBI has completed its review of Tata Capital’s draft red herring prospectus. An official observation letter—which signals regulatory approval—is likely to be issued within the coming weeks. This final clearance would set the stage for one of India’s most significant public offerings in the financial sector to date.
The IPO comes at a crucial time, as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has mandated that all non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) designated as ‘upper layer’ entities must list on public exchanges by September. Tata Capital, which falls under this category, aims to meet the regulatory deadline through this offering.
IPO Structure and Strategic Implications
The forthcoming IPO will combine the issuance of new shares with an offer-for-sale by current investors, allowing the company to generate additional funds while providing some shareholders the opportunity to cash out their investments.
If successful, this IPO would be the largest-ever public issue by a financial services company in India, setting a new benchmark. Moreover, it would mark the Tata Group’s second big market debut in recent years, following the strong listing of Tata Technologies in November 2023. For Tata Investment Corporation, which holds stakes across various Tata entities, the listing promises enhanced portfolio visibility and potential returns.
Robust Financials Add to IPO Optimism
Tata Capital’s financial performance has been notably strong in the run-up to its IPO. For the quarter ending March 2025, the company reported a 31% year-on-year jump in consolidated profit after tax (PAT), reaching ₹1,000 crore compared to ₹765 crore during the same quarter last year. Revenues for Q4 surged by almost 50%, hitting ₹7,478 crore versus ₹4,998 crore a year ago.
These numbers reflect a consistent growth trajectory backed by diversified lending portfolios and operational efficiency.
FY25 Full-Year Performance: Solid Growth
For the full financial year ending March 2025, Tata Capital continued to build on its strong fundamentals. Profit after tax increased to ₹3,655 crore, rising from ₹3,327 crore recorded in FY24. Total revenues saw a remarkable rise as well, increasing from ₹18,175 crore in the previous year to ₹28,313 crore this year—a nearly 56% jump.
These strong metrics not only strengthen investor confidence but also position Tata Capital as a robust, scalable NBFC ready for public scrutiny and long-term institutional participation.
Market Sentiment Reflects Anticipation
The broader market sentiment surrounding the Tata Group’s upcoming IPO is overwhelmingly positive. Tata Capital’s entry into the public domain is expected to bolster the group’s financial services arm, increase transparency, and drive shareholder value across the board.
For Tata Investment Corporation, this development acts as a catalyst. As a key stakeholder with exposure to multiple Tata entities, it stands to benefit from any uplift in market capitalization and liquidity brought about by the IPO.
Final Thoughts
The 8% surge in Tata Investment Corporation’s shares on June 6 highlights investor confidence in the forthcoming Tata Capital IPO. With SEBI’s approval expected shortly and regulatory deadlines looming, the stage is set for a landmark IPO in India’s financial sector. Tata Capital’s impressive financial results further strengthen investors’ trust and enthusiasm.
As the Tata Group continues to unlock value through strategic listings, investors are keenly watching developments, particularly in light of the strong performance of prior group listings like Tata Technologies. For Tata Investment Corporation and the broader Tata ecosystem, this IPO could mark yet another milestone in growth and value creation.
