Tata Capital Strengths Highlighted by Robust Financial Growth and Diversified Loan Portfolio

Tata Capital’s financials reveal strong momentum. For the fiscal year ending 31 March 2025, the company reported a revenue of ₹28,369.87 million, up 56% from FY24, with profit after tax (PAT) rising 10% to ₹3,655.02 million. The company’s total assets increased to ₹2,48,465.01 million, demonstrating solid balance sheet expansion.

Key performance indicators include a return on equity (ROE) of 12.6%, return on net worth (RoNW) at 11.2%, and debt-to-equity ratio of 6.60, reflecting prudent leverage and efficient capital utilisation. The growth is driven by its diversified lending products spanning consumer loans, SME financing, corporate credit, and cleantech projects.

Extensive Omni-Channel Network and Digital Integration Driving Operational Efficiency

Tata Capital operates a PAN-India network of 1,516 branches across 1,109 locations, supported by 30,000+ direct selling agents, 400+ OEMs, and 8,000+ dealers, along with digital platforms that have recorded 21 million mobile app downloads.

The company integrates physical and digital channels (‘phygital’ model) for seamless onboarding and servicing, with 97.8% of customers onboarded digitally and 98.6% of collections processed via digital platforms. This approach strengthens reach in urban and underpenetrated markets, while supporting operational scalability and enhancing customer experience.

Strategic Merger with Tata Motors Finance Strengthens Vehicle Finance and Revenue Streams

The recent integration with Tata Motors Finance Limited (TMFL) bolsters Tata Capital’s vehicle finance portfolio, covering both commercial and passenger vehicles. This expansion opens access to an ₹18.4 trillion market, enhancing loan distribution capabilities and diversifying revenue streams. In addition to lending, the company continues to grow in wealth management, private equity, and insurance distribution, creating a well-rounded financial services ecosystem.

SWOT Highlights Reveal Balanced Growth Potential with Regulatory and Market Considerations

Tata Capital’s strengths include its legacy Tata brand, diversified product suite, strong risk management, and technology-driven operations, while opportunities lie in MSME lending, cleantech finance, and digital expansion.

Weaknesses include high dependence on the parent company, limited global presence, and operational challenges in managing a large portfolio. Threats stem from regulatory changes, economic downturns, interest rate fluctuations, competition from banks and fintech, and cybersecurity risks.

Overall, the IPO positions the company to leverage sector growth while managing operational and regulatory complexities.

IPO Timeline and Allocation Details Set the Stage for Structured Subscription

The IPO schedule is as follows: opening 6 October 2025, closing 8 October 2025, allotment finalisation 9 October 2025, with refunds and credit to demat accounts on 10 October 2025, and tentative listing on 13 October 2025.

The issue offers 47.58 crore shares, with 49.87% allocated to Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), 34.91% to retail investors, and 14.96% to non-institutional investors. Promoter holding is expected to reduce from 95.6% to 85.5% post-IPO, reflecting a balanced capital infusion strategy.

Tata Capital Limited’s IPO represents a landmark mobilisation of ₹15,511.87 crore, underpinned by strong financials, extensive distribution, and diversified product offerings. The structured pricing, tiered lot sizes, and anchor investor participation highlight a well-organised public offering designed to support the company’s Tier-I capital augmentation and future growth ambitions across retail, SME, and corporate lending segments.
