Tata Capital IPO: An Overview
Tata Capital Ltd, the financial services arm of the Tata Group, is set to launch its initial public offering (IPO) on Oct. 6, 2025. The issue will close on Oct. 8, 2025, according to the company’s red herring prospectus.
The IPO will comprise a fresh issue of up to 21 crore equity shares and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to 26.6 crore equity shares. Promoter Tata Sons will divest up to 23 crore shares, while International Finance Corporation (IFC) will sell up to 3.6 crore shares through the OFS route.
Why is the Tata Capital IPO Significant?
The public issue is expected to be among the most closely watched offerings of the year, given Tata Capital’s position as the financial services arm of the Tata Group. Currently, Tata Sons owns an 88.6% stake in the NBFC on a fully diluted basis, while other Tata group companies own another 7%.
IFC currently holds 7.16 crore shares worth a 1.8% stake in the firm. The company’s decision to go public is seen as a strategic move to raise capital and increase its visibility in the market.
Use of IPO Proceeds
Tata Capital proposes to use the fresh issue proceeds for augmenting its tier–I capital base to meet its ‘future capital requirements, including onward lending,’ arising out of the growth of the business. Further, a portion of the proceeds from the fresh Issue will be used towards meeting offer expenses.
Book Running Lead Managers
Kotak Mahindra Capital Co., Axis Capital Ltd., BNP Paribas, Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt. and HDFC Bank Ltd. are the book running lead managers for the issue. The company has chosen a strong team of bankers to manage the IPO, which is expected to generate significant interest among investors.
