A. K. Capital Services, ICICI Securities Primary Dealership, and ICICI Bank are the arrangers on the deal, the bankers said.

The company had invited commitment bids for the issue on Wednesday.

MUMBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - India's Tata Capital TATC.NS plans to raise up to 40 billion rupees ($415.19 million), including a greenshoe option of 12.50 billion rupees, through sale of bonds maturing in two years and nine months, three bankers said on Tuesday.

It will carry an initial coupon of 7.42%, with subsequent resets linked to the three-month Treasury bill yield plus a spread of 210 basis points, they said, adding that A. K. Capital Services, ICICI Securities Primary Dealership, and ICICI Bank are the arrangers on the deal.

MUMBAI, May 18 (Reuters) - Some Indian firms are turning to floating-rate bonds to attract investors and manage borrowing costs at a time when expectations of rate hikes have pushed up yields on conventional fixed-rate debt, making buyers wary of locking in lower rates.

Coupons for floating-rate bonds are priced at a spread over three-month Treasury bill yields and reset quarterly. When rate hikes are expected, these bonds turn more attractive to both issuers and investors - companies can borrow at a lower initial cost, while investors benefit from returns that rise over time.

Four non-banking finance companies, ICICI Home Finance ICICH.UL, Tata Capital TATC.NS, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services and HDB Financial Services HDBF.NS, plan to raise about 85.50 billion rupees ($887.74 million) this week through the sale of floating-rate bonds with a three-year maturity, merchant bankers said.

These companies have traditionally relied on fixed-rate bonds for their funding requirements. The four companies did not reply to a Reuters request for comment.

Venkatakrishnan Srinivasan, founder and managing partner of debt advisory firm Rockfort Fincap, cited the volatile interest-rate environment for the rising interest in such bonds, and said several issuers have been struggling to raise targeted amounts through fixed-rate issuances.

Bets that the Reserve Bank of India will raise interest rates in 2026 have strengthened, with inflation expected to rise due to persistently high oil prices from the Iran war.

India's April annual wholesale price index inflation jumped to its highest level in three and a half years, while overnight index swap rates have surged.

The one-year swap is now pricing in at least 100 basis points of hikes over the next 12 months, possibly from August, lifting fixed-rate yields.

YIELD PICKUP

Currently, spreads on AAA-rated floating-rate debt are in the 193–210 bp range over the T-bills, implying a yield of about 7.35%. This is roughly 30–40 bps lower than the comparable fixed-rate bonds.

"If an asset manager fully hedges the floating rate bond, the all-in yield (for the investor) is closer to 8.85%, compared with around 8.25% on a conventional fixed-rate bond. On a hedged basis, it makes a lot of sense for asset managers to add these papers," said Basant Bafna, head of fixed income at Mirae Asset Investment Managers (India).

Investors can use the swap market to convert floating returns into fixed ones.

From the issuer's perspective, they are "getting good size", Bafna said, referring to a larger quantum of funds, and added that their incremental cost of funds is lower.

MUMBAI, March 18 (Reuters) - Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio Platforms has hired 17 banks to manage its Mumbai stock listing, which will see the company raise no new funds and allow exits for some shareholders, four sources familiar with the matter said.

The IPO will be executed as a so-called "offer for sale" in India, three of the sources said, where only existing shareholders sell their shareholding to public.

Reliance did not respond to Reuters queries.

Over the past six years, Jio has diversified into artificial intelligence and raised funds from well-known investors including KKR KKR.N, General Atlantic, Silver Lake and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Adds context in paragraph 5, minor changes throughout

By Vivek Kumar M

Nov 12 (Reuters) - Shares of Billionbrains Garage Ventures BILO.NS, parent of online brokerage Groww, jumped 24% in their market debut on Wednesday, valuing the firm at 761 billion rupees ($8.6 billion) as investors bet on India's retail investing boom after a run of weak listings.

The stock opened at 112 rupees on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and climbed to 124 rupees, well above its 100-rupee issue price in a $754 million IPO.

The debut valued Groww above listed peers Motilal Oswal Financial Services MOFS.NS and Angel One ANGO.NS, and offered relief to IPO investors after subdued market entries from Lenskart Solutions LENS.NS, Orkla India ORKL.NS, and Studds Accessories STUS.NS earlier this month.

"Groww represents a strong long-term structural story and can act as a proxy for India's expanding capital market participation," said Prashanth Tapse, senior vice-president of research at Mehta Equities.

India's NSE has been adding about 10 million registered investors every six to seven months since March 2021, taking its total investor base to 120 million as of September, the country's largest bourse said.

Groww's listing comes amid a flurry of IPOs in India, where over 300 companies have raised $16.55 billion so far in 2025, according to LSEG data. The country’s primary market is on track to surpass last year's record $20.5 billion, led by big-ticket listings from Tata Capital TATC.NS, LG Electronics India LGEL.NS, and HDB Financial Services HDBF.NS.

Founded in 2016, Groww is among the country's largest online investment platforms, offering trading in equities, mutual funds, and fixed-income products.

Still, some analysts warned that much of the near-term optimism may already be priced in. "The current valuations seem to fully capture the short-term growth prospects, and investors should watch out for a couple of quarterly earnings before making further investment decisions," said Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at WealthMills Securities.

Adds details paragraph 3 onwards

Oct 28 (Reuters) - India's Tata Capital TATC.NS reported a rise in second-quarter profit on Tuesday, in its first earnings since going public, led by steady loan growth.

The non-bank lender's consolidated profit rose to 10.97 billion rupees ($124.8 million), from 10.76 billion rupees a year earlier.

Credit demand in India recovered during the July–to-September quarter following several quarters of muted growth, driven by a revival in consumption and a gradual increase in corporate borrowing.

Loan growth is expected to remain strong in the second half of the fiscal year, buoyed by recent tax relief measures.

Tata Capital, which trails market leader Bajaj Finance BJFN.NS and Shriram Finance SHMF.NS by market capitalisation, said revenue from loans it gave to retail and corporate borrowers climbed 12.3% to 75.18 billion rupees.

Retail loans account for 64% of the company's total assets.

The lender's interest income rose nearly 12% to 69.80 billion rupees.

Tata Capital made a subdued trading debut earlier this month and was valued at 1.4 trillion rupees, after getting bids worth $2.9 billion for its IPO, the country's biggest so far this year.

The company's shares have been flat since listing.

Updates stock price in paragraph 2, adds details throughout

By Vivek Kumar M

Oct 17 (Reuters) - India's Canara HSBC Life Insurance CANR.NS made a muted debut on the bourses on Friday, as unappealing pricing and a crowded IPO market clouded the insurer's prospects.

Its stock was trading at 108.9 rupees, as of 10:50 a.m. IST, up 2.7% from its issue and listing price of 106 rupees, yielding the insurer a valuation of 105.15 billion rupees ($1.20 billion).

Peers SBI Life Insurance SBIL.NS and HDFC Life Insurance HDFL.NS are valued around $21 billion and $18 billion, respectively.

Canara HSBC Life Insurance, which is a joint venture between Canara Bank and HSBC Insurance (Asia-Pacific) Holdings, struggled to garner bids from retail and non-institutional investors earlier this week.

Retail investors subscribed 42% of their quota, while high-net-worth individuals subscribed a third of their shares in the $283 million IPO.

Thanks to qualified institutional buyers, the issue was subscribed 2.29 times, which was still lower than most other IPOs that opened in the last couple of weeks.

For instance, another Canara Bank-promoted entity, Canara Robeco Asset Management CANE.NS, received bids worth nearly 10-fold and closed 13% higher in its debut on Thursday.

Choice Broking said the insurer's valuation appeared to be fully priced, with price-to-enterprise value multiple, a stock valuation metric, of 1.6x, while industry averaged 2.4x.

"High dependence on bancassurance (where banks sell insurance) and relatively lower VNB (value of new business) margins compared to peers is expected to keep valuation multiples at a discount to peers," ICICI Direct said.

The insurer got 87% of its new business premium in fiscal year 2024-25 through bancassurance, with Canara Bank contributing 70.6% of this.

The listing caps a busy week for the Indian IPO market, which saw five stock debuts, including a blockbuster listing from LG Electronics India LGEL.NS and a muted start from the country's largest IPO of the year, Tata Capital TATC.NS. ($1 = 87.8387 Indian rupees)

Oct 16 (Reuters) - Indian asset manager Canara Robeco's CANE.NS shares listed at a premium of 5.4% to their issue price in their pre-open trading debut on the National Stock Exchange on Thursday.

The Mumbai-based firm's stock opened at 280.25 rupees, above the 266 rupee issue price.

Its IPO was subscribed nearly 10-fold earlier this week, led by a heavy demand from qualified institutional buyers, who subscribed 26-fold their reserved quota. In comparison, retail investors' portion was subscribed two-fold.

Canara Robeco Asset Management is the first public debut by an Indian asset manager this year, adding to the growing list of financial services firms tapping the capital markets. ICICI Prudential AMC IICL.NS is expected to list soon.

BENGALURU, Oct 14 (Reuters) - LG Electronics India LGEL.NS made a stellar stock market debut on Tuesday, listing at a premium of 50% to its issue price of 1,140 rupees per share.

This is the best listing for a billion-dollar Indian initial public offering since Eternal ETEA.NS, the parent company of food delivery and restaurant-listing platform Zomato, debuted in 2021.

Here's a look at how India's other billion-dollar IPOs have done this decade:

SBI CARDS AND PAYMENT SERVICES (MARCH 2020)

The credit card arm SBIC.NS of India's largest lender, State Bank of India SBI.NS, slid about 13% in market debut, as the COVID-19 pandemic worries dampened enthusiasm for one of the country's largest public listings.

ETERNAL, FORMERLY KNOWN AS ZOMATO (JULY 2021)

The food and grocery delivery platform listed at a premium of 51.3% to its issue price, giving the startup a valuation of about $13 billion and setting the stage for other domestic startups waiting in the wings with listing plans of their own.

ONE97 COMMUNICATIONS (NOVEMBER 2021)

The parent of digital payments start-up, Paytm PAYT.NS, made one of the worst major Indian stock market debuts as its shares listed at a 9% discount and closed the first day 27% below its offer price due to concerns over profitability and lofty enterprise value.

LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA (MAY 2022)

Shares of India's biggest insurer LIFI.NS slid nearly 9% in market debut amid broader market volatility and concerns over its market share loss to rivals.

HYUNDAI MOTOR INDIA (OCTOBER 2024)

The automaker's shares HYUN.NS fell 1.5% on listing after retail investors gave a lukewarm reception to the country's biggest-ever IPO amid concerns about a lofty valuation and an auto industry slowdown.

SWIGGY (NOVEMBER 2024)

The SoftBank-backed food and grocery delivery platform SWIG.NS listed at a 5.6% premium and extended gains through the day, signaling growing investor confidence in the segment.

NTPC GREEN ENERGY (NOVEMBER 2024)

The renewable energy firm's shares NTPG.NS jumped as much as 14% on their debut, as investors bet on the country's growing clean energy needs and the company's diversified portfolio.

HDB FINANCIAL SERVICES (JULY 2025)

Non-banking financial lending arm HDBF.NS of the country's largest private lender HDFC Bank HDBK.NS jumped about 13% on listing, notching a valuation of $8.2 billion, as investors bet on long-term growth prospects in the world's most populous country.

TATA CAPITAL (OCTOBER 2025)

India's third-largest non-bank lender TATC.NS made a muted debut, listing slightly higher than its issue price at a $15.78 billion valuation, with investors seemingly not that keen on the Tata Group's first IPO in two years due to a crowded IPO market and lack of valuation discount to listed peers.

Updates for morning trade

By Bharath Rajeswaran and Vivek Kumar M

Oct 13 (Reuters) - India's benchmark shares fell on Monday, tracking losses across Asia after the United States made fresh tariff threats against China, while Tata Capital's much-awaited market debut came at a small premium over its issue price.

The Nifty 50 .NSEI fell 0.36% to 25,195.5 and the BSE Sensex .BSESN shed 0.35% to 82,211.63 as of 9:57 a.m. IST.

Thirteen of the 16 major sectors logged losses. The broader, more domestically focused small-caps .NIFSMCP100 and mid-caps .NIFMDCP100 fell 0.4% and 0.2% respectively.

Other Asian markets .MIAPJ0000PUS fell 2.1% on the day.

Tata Capital TATC.NS listed at a premium of 1.23% over its issue price of 326 rupees in its debut trade, with the retail market seemingly still not that keen on the first listing by the storied Tata Group in nearly two years.

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump promised to sharply hike tariffs on China in a reprisal against its curb on critical mineral exports.

Rising trade tensions between the world's two largest economies could fuel inflation in the U.S. and force the Federal Reserve to delay interest rate cuts.

High U.S. rates do not bode well for emerging market equities such as India as they make dollar and Treasury yields attractive for global investors.

"Since the U.S. and China are the largest economies in the world with strong links with the rest of the world, global equity markets will be hurt in the short term," said G Chokkalingam, founder and head of research of Equinomics Research.

However, Indian markets could largely avoid the global downturn if the U.S. refrains from extending its tariff war to India, which might prompt a tactical shift of foreign inflows from China to India, Chokkalingam said.

Among individual stocks, Waaree Renewable Technologies WAAE.NS jumped 8% after its September quarter profit surged.

Visa processing company BLS International BLSN.NS tumbled 13% after the Ministry of External Affairs temporarily restricted the company from participating in new tenders for two years.

Adds stock moves in paragraph 1 and 2, recasts throughout

By Meenakshi Maidas

Oct 10 (Reuters) - WeWork India Management WEWO.NS shares settled 3% lower in their trading debut on Friday, valuing the co-working space provider at 84.25 billion rupees (about $950 million), as investors worried about steep valuation and governance risks.

The shares opened barely above the IPO offer price of 648 rupees and fell as much as 5.2% to 614.25 rupees.

The firm, which licenses its brand from its now-bankrupt U.S. namesake WeWork Global, raised about $338.16 million in its IPO that was subscribed 1.15 times, driven largely by institutional bids.

"The market was not very comfortable with the valuation, and WeWork is now facing the heat," said Aishvarya Dadeech, chief investment officer at Fident Asset Management.

In terms of growth expectations too, WeWork appears less attractive than peers, Dadeech said, referring to projected revenue growth of 22% over fiscal years 2023 to 2025, behind listed peers such as Smartworks Coworking Spaces SMAW.NS, IndiQube Spaces IDIQ.NS and Awfis Space Solutions AWFI.NS.

WeWork India's listing came at a busy time for India's primary market. On Thursday, LG Electronics India LGEL.NS was bid 54.02 times, becoming the most subscribed billion-dollar IPO in nearly two decades, while Tata Capital's TATC.NS IPO drew bids worth $1.24 billion.

Beyond a crowded IPO market, WeWork India faces deeper challenges - from corporate governance concerns to questions over its ability to sustain operations and fund expansion amid slowing demand as well as rising competition from lean, profitable rivals.

Proxy advisor InGovern Research Services warned investors of WeWork India's fragile financials, including negative cash flow, high lease liabilities, and the absence of a fresh capital infusion.

WeWork India did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company operates flexible offices across eight major Indian cities, competing with peers such as Smartworks, which has risen 35% since its July debut, and IndiQube Spaces, which fell 15% after listing but has since recovered to trade 4% higher than its listing price.

Smartworks has a market capitalization of 68.9 billion rupees, while IndiQube is valued at 47.6 billion rupees, according to exchange data.
