New Delhi. In recent years, the weak performance of many big IPOs has created a stir in the Indian market. Especially the IPOs of Hyundai Motor India, LIC, and Paytm disappointed investors on the day of listing. These companies may be big brands, but their performance was weak during their debut in the market.

Experts believe that the main reason for the failure of these IPOs is high valuation and market uncertainty. At the time of Hyundai's IPO, there was a lack of demand in the market. Apart from this, the IPOs of Paytm and LIC also came at a time when there was instability in the market, due to which investors became cautious. Today we will tell you about 5 such IPOs whose size was big but the returns were equally bad.

Hyundai Motor India's
Rs 27,870 crore IPO, launched in 2024, was listed in the market with a decline of 5.8%. The terribly increased valuation and market uncertainty at that time dampened investor enthusiasm.

LIC (Life Insurance Corporation)
Despite being India's largest insurance company, LIC's IPO was listed in the market with a poor start in 2022. It was the largest IPO before Hyundai with a size of Rs 21000 crore. Questions were also raised about its valuation. Investors had to bear a decline of 7.70 percent on the day of the listing itself.

Paytm
is also one of the biggest IPOs with a size of Rs 18,300 crore. But its listing happened about 27% below the issue price, causing huge losses to investors. The reason for this was the high valuation and questions over the company's profitability.

SBI Cards
This IPO came in 2020. Its size was Rs 10,341 crore. On the very first day, investors had to suffer a loss of 9.50 percent. Market uncertainty and investors' caution were the main reasons behind this.

GIC (General Insurance Corporation)
GIC's IPO came in 2017. Those who invested in this IPO of Rs 11,257 crore had to suffer a loss of 4.50 percent on the very first day.

These failures make it clear that companies with a brand name or a long history are not guaranteed success in IPOs. It is important to find the right solution to challenges like high valuation, market uncertainty, and investor perception. In the future, companies should launch IPOs by properly assessing the market conditions and valuations to win the trust of investors. This will not only ensure the success of the IPO but will also maintain the growing interest of investors in the Indian stock market.
