Two Giant IPOs Set to Shake Up India’s Stock Market
October 12, 2025 at 12:00 AM UTC
India’s stock market is about to face a major moment as two of the country’s most high-profile initial public offerings (IPOs) this year are set to start trading in Mumbai. Tata Capital Ltd. and LG Electronics India Ltd. are stepping onto the exchange stage, and their performance could reveal just how strong—and potentially volatile—India’s hot equity market really is.
Tata Capital, the shadow-lending arm of the well-known Tata Group, raised a staggering 155 billion rupees (around $1.7 billion) in what became the largest IPO in India so far this year. Its listing is scheduled for Monday, marking a significant milestone for both the company and the market. The sheer size of this IPO alone has investors eager to see how it fares once trading begins.
Following closely on Tuesday, LG Electronics India, the Indian branch of South Korea’s LG Electronics Inc., will make its debut. What makes this IPO particularly eye-catching is that it became the most oversubscribed deal of its scale in 17 years—a clear sign of immense investor interest and confidence. But here’s where it gets controversial: while oversubscription signals strong demand, skeptics wonder if such hype can sustain itself once actual trading starts.
And this is the part most people miss: these IPOs don’t just represent large sums of money—they act as a litmus test for the resilience and appetite of India’s broader equity market. Will investors continue to pour money into such high-profile offerings, or could these giant debuts reveal cracks in the system?
With the Tata and LG listings just around the corner, the coming days are set to be a dramatic gauge of India’s market strength, investor sentiment, and the potential risks lurking beneath the surface. What do you think—are these IPOs a sign of an unstoppable market boom, or are we witnessing a bubble ready to burst? Share your thoughts below and join the debate.
