Two major IPOs are set to dominate India’s markets this week — Tata Capital and LG Electronics India. Both launches come within a day of each other, creating a rare “IPO clash” between two iconic brands with vastly different business models and market narratives. While Tata Capital brings a trusted financial services story, LG India offers exposure to India’s growing consumer electronics market. Here’s an in-depth look at how these two IPOs stack up and what investors should consider before subscribing.
Tata Capital IPO: The Trusted Financial Giant
Tata Capital’s IPO, open from October 6–8, 2025, is a mix of fresh issue and offer for sale (OFS). The company aims to raise approximately ₹15,512 crore, with a price band of ₹310–₹326 per share. Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used to strengthen Tier‑1 capital, expand the lending base, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
As one of India’s leading non-banking finance companies (NBFCs), Tata Capital is backed by Tata Sons and enjoys strong brand equity and investor confidence. Its diversified lending portfolio across retail, SME, and infrastructure segments makes it a stable long-term play in India’s financial ecosystem.
LG Electronics India IPO: Betting on Consumer Growth
LG Electronics India’s IPO, open from October 7–9, 2025, is a pure offer for sale (OFS) by existing shareholders, raising about ₹11,607 crore. The price band has been fixed between ₹1,080–₹1,140 per share. Unlike Tata Capital, this IPO does not involve fresh capital infusion — instead, it provides liquidity to existing shareholders.
LG India’s strength lies in its brand presence and leadership in the consumer electronics segment. As India’s middle class expands, demand for appliances, smart TVs, and home devices continues to rise. However, the business remains sensitive to consumer cycles, import costs, and competition from domestic and Chinese brands.
Tata vs LG: Side-by-Side Comparison
While Tata Capital represents India’s financial resilience and long-term lending growth, LG India embodies consumer optimism and brand-driven expansion. For conservative investors, Tata Capital offers stability, dividend potential, and a strong parentage. For risk-takers, LG’s IPO could deliver high listing gains if consumer sentiment remains bullish.
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Tata Capital: Ideal for investors seeking steady long-term growth and a robust financial play.
- LG India: Suitable for those with a higher risk appetite and belief in India’s consumer boom.
- Strategy: Investors with limited capital might prefer Tata Capital for safer allocation, while diversified portfolios could apply selectively to both.
