As NSE, Reliance Jio eye listings, what are India’s biggest share offerings?

[responsivevoice_button voice="Hindi Female" buttontext="Listen This News"]

National Stock Exchange (NSE), India’s largest stock exchange, will open its initial public ​offering next week.

The offer-for-sale, which does not include any fresh capital being raised, ‌will value NSE at close to $46 billion, which would make ​it the country’s third-largest IPO.

Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio ⁠Platforms IPO, likely later this year, is expected to raise about $3.8 billion, making it the country’s biggest-ever stock offering.

Here are the five largest Indian IPOs to ‌date:

HYUNDAI MOTOR INDIA

Hyundai, the world’s third-largest automaker and India’s fourth-biggest passenger vehicle maker, raised ₹27,870 crore ($2.95 billion) in October ‌2024 in what is currently India’s biggest-ever IPO.

The manufacturer’s South ‌Korean ⁠parent sold a 17.5% stake in a pure offer-for-sale, where ⁠existing shareholders sell shares and no new capital is raised. Jio Platforms is expected to use a similar approach, with the company’s major investors set to dilute their stakes.



LIFE ​INSURANCE CORPORATION OF INDIA

The government ‌pocketed roughly ₹20,500 crore ($2.17 billion) from selling a 3.5% stake in India’s largest insurer and biggest domestic financial investor, a far cry from its initial target of up to $12 billion.

The shares slid nearly ‌8% on their debut.

PAYTM

Paytm, an Indian fintech firm, raised ​₹18300 in November 2021 in a mix of a fresh share issue and an offer for sale. Ant ⁠Group reduced its stake to 23% from 28% and SoftBank’s Vision Fund pared its holding to 16%.

Paytm lost more than 27% on its ‌debut, the biggest listing-day drop in Indian IPO history at the time.

TATA CAPITAL

The Tata Group’s financial services arm raised ₹15500 crore in October 2025, with Tata Sons and IFC among those selling in the offer for sale component alongside a fresh issue. The IPO was the largest-ever by a non-banking financial company in India. The shares listed ‌at a slight premium of 1.23%.

LG ELECTRONICS INDIA

South Korean parent LG Electronics offloaded ​a 15% stake in its Indian unit, a maker of refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and televisions, in a pure offer ⁠for sale issue, netting ₹11600 crore in October 2025.

The IPO was oversubscribed ⁠54 times — the most heavily subscribed major Indian IPO since Reliance Power’s listing in 2008 — attracting bids worth about ₹4.4 ‌lakh crore.

LG’s shares surged 50% on their first day of trading, valuing the unit higher than its Seoul-based parent.
