Hyundai Motor India is preparing to launch the country’s largest IPO, valued at ₹27,870 crore, next week. While it’s uncertain if this IPO will generate profits for investors, past performance of major Indian IPOs reveals mixed results regarding returns.
Several high-profile IPOs, including Paytm and Reliance Power, have disappointed investors by trading below their issue prices since their listings. Government-backed entities like GIC and New India Assurance also failed to deliver significant returns, with many investors facing losses.

In contrast, some IPOs have proven successful. Coal India, which raised ₹15,200 crore in its 2010 IPO, currently trades at a 100% premium, showcasing its strong market performance and investor confidence in government-backed companies.

Zomato’s IPO was initially met with scepticism due to its loss-making status. However, after a significant correction, its stock rebounded and now trades at around ₹280, marking it as a significant multi-bagger for investors and illustrating the potential for recovery in the IPO market.
