Tata Capital and LG Electronics India launch IPOs worth Rs 27000 crore in October 2025, sparking investor debate and interest.
Tata Capital Vs LG Electronics
Tata Capital vs LG Electronics IPOs: The primary market is set to witness the biggest battle of 2025 next week when two bellwether IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) are poised to compete in an already saturated field. Launching in a gap of a day, two IPOs raising a cumulative amount of Rs 27,000 crore will open their three-day subscription windows between Monday, October 06, and Thursday, October 09, 2025.
In the ensuing heated battle, investors are facing a dilemma where they should put their limited investment fund – Tata Capital, which is part of the Tata Group, or LG Electronics India, an Indian arm of the South Korean multinational corporation.
What investors can do is to look for some metrics, such as checking GMP, valuation, price bands, fundamentals or more, being used by experts to make a decision of investment or not. It’s not a full-proof strategy, although.
Tata Capital IPO
Tata Capital, the non-banking financial arm of the Tata Group, is set to launch its initial public offering (IPO) on Monday, October 06, 2025. The public issue will be closed for subscription on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. Tata Capital has fixed the price band for its much-awaited Rs 15,512-crore IPO at Rs 310-326 per share, making it the largest issue of the year.
With this, the non-banking financial company’s valuation stands at about Rs 1.38 lakh crore at the top end of the band.
Its share allotment will be finalised on October 9, while the listing will take place on October 13 on both the BSE and the NSE.
The proposed issue comprises a total of 47.58 crore shares, including a fresh issue of 21 crore equity shares and an offer for sale (OFS) of 26.58 crore shares.
Tata Sons, which currently holds an 88.6% stake in Tata Capital, will offload about 23 crore shares.
International Finance Corporation (IFC), which owns 1.8%, will sell 3.58 crore shares.
Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used to bolster Tata Capital’s Tier-1 capital base, helping the NBFC meet future capital requirements, including lending operations.
According to market observers, the gray market premium for unlisted shares of Tata Capital is currently Rs 13, which is down from the peak at Rs 30. It reflects a premium of 3.99 per cent.
The GMP is based on market sentiments and keeps changing. ‘Grey market premium’ indicates investors’ readiness to pay more than the issue price.
LG Electronics IPO
LG Electronics India Ltd, the local arm of South Korea’s LG conglomerate, has fixed the price band for its much-awaited Rs 11,607-crore initial public offering (IPO) in the range of Rs 1,080-1,140 per share. At the upper end of the price range, the company is valued at about Rs 77,400 crore.
The public issue will open for subscription on October 7 and close on October 9, while anchor investors can bid on October 6. The IPO, which is entirely an offer for sale of 10.18 crore shares — representing nearly 15 per cent stake — will see all proceeds go to the South Korean parent, as LG Electronics India itself will not receive any funds from the issue.
This marks the second South Korean company to list on Indian bourses after Hyundai Motors India made its debut in October last year. LG Electronics India, a major player in consumer electronics and home appliances, has manufacturing units in Noida and Pune, producing washing machines, refrigerators, LED TVs, air conditioners, and microwaves. For FY24, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 64,087.97 crore.
According to market observers, unlisted shares of LG Electronics India Ltd are currently trading at Rs 1315, meaning a GMP of Rs 175 or 15.35 per cent premium.
The GMP is based on market sentiments and keeps changing. ‘Grey market premium’ indicates investors’ readiness to pay more than the issue price.
The IPO will be listed on both the BSE and the NSE.
