GMP & Market Sentiment

According to market trackers, the grey market premium (GMP) had slipped to near issue price levels ahead of listing — suggesting a cautious debut.

While the IPO was fairly subscribed, the tepid GMP hinted that investors weren’t chasing aggressive listing gains, opting instead for long-term confidence in the Tata brand.

Strong Parentage, Solid Fundamentals

Tata Capital, backed by the Tata Group, enjoys AAA/Stable credit ratings from top agencies like CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, and India Ratings.

This strong parentage provides easy access to capital, lowers borrowing costs, and enhances investor confidence.

The company’s loan book doubled from ₹1.2 lakh crore in FY23 to ₹2.26 lakh crore in FY25, with interest income rising sharply from ₹11,911 crore to ₹25,720 crore — a CAGR of over 47%.

Merger with Tata Motors Finance

Tata Capital’s recent merger with Tata Motors Finance brought new opportunities and challenges.

While it expanded the branch network by 353 locations and strengthened cross-selling potential, it also increased credit costs and operational complexity.

According to JM Financial, Tata Capital’s cost-to-income ratio is expected to improve from 42% in FY25 to 39% by FY27, as integration benefits kick in.

Key Risks to Watch

Asset Quality: The takeover of Tata Motors’ vehicle finance arm (TMFL), with its higher NPAs, could strain asset quality if delinquencies rise.

Credit Rating Pressure: Any downgrade in Tata Capital’s credit rating may raise borrowing costs.

Cybersecurity Threats: As seen in global Tata entities like JLR, cyber risks remain a key operational concern.

Analyst Verdict — Buy, Hold or Sell?

Market experts believe the muted GMP and steady listing reflect realistic valuations rather than overhype.

“Tata Capital’s fundamentals are strong, and its group backing ensures stability. The listing may be modest, but the stock remains a solid long-term hold for investors seeking steady compounding,”

said a Mumbai-based analyst tracking financial services IPOs.

Verdict:

Short-term investors: May book small profits.

Long-term investors: Hold for growth and stability; Tata Capital remains a key play in India’s NBFC expansion story.
