Since commencing operations in 2007, it has served over 7.3 million customers. With a comprehensive suite of over 25 lending products, the company caters to a broad customer base, including salaried and self-employed individuals, entrepreneurs, small businesses, SMEs, and corporates.

Backed by the strength of its Tata Group parentage, diversified loan portfolio, robust risk management practices, and pan-India omni-channel presence, Tata Capital is well-positioned to benefit from this growth opportunity. The company’s proactive approach to risk management, with multiple layers of defence and advanced data analytics, has ensured strong asset quality. Tata Capital’s loan book is granular, with ticket sizes ranging from Rs. 10,000 to over Rs. 100 crores, and more than 98% of accounts have a ticket size below Rs. 1 crore. Its AUM grew at a CAGR of ~37.3% during FY23–FY25, reaching Rs. 2,33,363 crores in FY25, highlighting scalability supported by resilient underwriting standards.

The net proceeds from the fresh equity issue will be used to augment Tier-I capital, thereby strengthening the capital adequacy ratio and ensuring a stable leverage position. At the current P/BV multiple of 4.1x based on book value as of FY25, we believe the company is reasonably valued and recommend investors to “SUBSCRIBE” to the issue from a medium- to long-term perspective.

OFFL serve as a trusted India-based agent, specialising in comprehensive import and export customs clearance services across all major air and seaports in the country. Backed by over four decades of operational and handling expertise, the company seamlessly combines in-depth customs knowledge with advanced information technology. Leveraging its extensive experience and established presence across India’s major ports, OFFL is well positioned to benefit from the expanding trade volumes, increased industrial activity, and growing demand for organised logistics services. OFFL’s ongoing investments in technology enable end-to-end visibility, faster decision-making, and cost optimisation. This technological edge positions the company to serve large clients in high-growth sectors such as FMCG, automotive, e-commerce, and oil & gas, which are increasingly seeking reliable, scalable, and technology-enabled logistics partners. The addition of strategically located, large-format multi-user warehouses, such as the upcoming Bhiwandi facility, allows OFFL to capitalise on the structural shift in India’s logistics sector post-GST, where companies are consolidating inventories into larger, more efficient facilities. By offering value-added services, automation, and proximity to key distribution hubs, OFFL can increase client stickiness, improve turnaround times, and expand volumes handled, directly contributing to revenue growth and margin expansion. On the financial front, the company delivered a tepid performance during FY20xx xx, growing revenue, EBITDA, and PAT at a CAGR of 2.0%, 6.4%, and-10.0%, respectively. EBITDA margin decreased from 7.1% in FY23 to 2.9% in FY24 before improving to 7.7% in FY25, while PAT margin declined from 5.8% in FY23 to 2.5% in FY24 and moderated to 4.5% in FY25. On the return front, the company reported modest ROCE and ROE of 13.7% and 12.7% in FY25, respectively, observing a decline from 20.0% and 19.5% in FY23. While OFFL has demonstrated strengths in integrated logistics, operational capabilities, and client relationships, its financial performance has been inconsistent, reflected in volatility in earnings and margins. Furthermore, near term geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties add risk to growth visibility. Additionally, ~80% of the issue comprises an Offer for Sale (OFS). In light of these factors, we remain largely cautious of the listing. We, thus, recommend an AVOID rating for the issue and will reassess our rating in future following sustained business performance in upcoming quarters
