On January 7, 2026, Tata Capital will see the end of a 3-month shareholder lock-in period, leading to the release of a significant volume of equity into the trading market, as per Nuvama Alternative and Quantitative Research.
This development concerns one of India’s largest non-banking financial companies following its ₹15,000 crore IPO in 2025.
With the expiry of the lock-in period, around 71.2 million Tata Capital shares are now eligible for trade on the stock exchanges.
This volume represents around 2% of the firm's outstanding equity. These shares were previously restricted post-IPO and their release increases the free-float of the company's equity in the market.
At the closing price registered on January 6, 2026, the shares being released are valued at approximately ₹2,573 crore.
While the end of a lock-in permits shareholders to sell their holdings, it does not necessarily mean immediate divestment. It simply allows them to transact freely in the open market.
Over the past 2 weeks, Tata Capital shares have moved above their IPO issue price of ₹326, reflecting increased interest around the counter.
On January 6, 2026, Tata Capital shares closed at ₹361.35, marking a 0.49% rise from the previous trading session. This places the stock about 11% higher than its issue price.
The lock-in expiry is expected to potentially affect trading volumes and may draw attention to price activity in the coming sessions.

Tata Capital launched its ₹15,000 crore IPO in 2025, which was fully subscribed, reflecting strong initial interest. Upon listing, the shares hovered close to the issue price and remained range-bound during the initial months.
The recent movement in share price signals a departure from this trend, coinciding with the lock-in expiry timeline.
As of January 07, 2026, at 9:18 AM, Tata Capital share price on NSE was trading at ₹356.95 down by 1.27% from the previous closing price.
The end of the lock-in period for 71.2 million shares, valued at ₹2,573 crore, marks a key liquidity event for Tata Capital. The development expands the tradeable equity base in the market and follows a period of relatively stable price activity post-IPO.
