Tata Technologies, a prominent player in engineering and product development digital services, has made a remarkable debut with its Initial Public Offering (IPO).

The IPO has garnered significant attention and investor interest, as reflected by its impressive subscription numbers. On the second day of the subscription period, the IPO was subscribed 14.85 times, with a total of 66,87,31,680 shares bid for against the 4,50,29,207 shares on offer.
The overwhelming response has been driven by both institutional and retail investors.

Qualified institutional buyers also demonstrated their confidence in Tata Technologies, contributing to an 8.55 times subscription in their category.
The enthusiasm surrounding Tata Technologies' IPO was evident from the moment it opened for bidding. Within minutes, the IPO was fully subscribed, highlighting the high demand and positive market sentiment towards the company.
Prior to the IPO, Tata Technologies successfully raised Rs 791 crore from anchor investors, further solidifying the company's position and generating momentum for its public offering.
The public issue, with a price band of Rs 475-500 per share, will conclude on November 24.
