India''s Biggest Ever Initial Public Offering Crashes 27% On IPO Day Just like the rest of global equity markets, 2021 has been a monumental year for Indian stocks and it culminated overnight with the nation''s biggest ever IPO, when One97 Communications Ltd, the entity that operates Indian digital payments platform Paytm, went public at a price of 2,150 rupees per share, the top of a marketed range. The digital payments company raised 183 billion rupees ($2.5 billion), India''s largest ever IPO when measured in local currency, surpassing Coal India''s in 2010. That IPO was worth 155 billion rupees ($3.48 billion), according to data from Refinitiv Alas, the party then quickly died when PayTM shares opened below the 2,150 rupees ($28.60) issue price, before closing down a whopping 27% at 1,564 rupees ($21). According to some analysts, the post-break flop reflects fears about Paytm''s business: the company, which is now worth almost $14 billion, lost hundreds of millions of dollars last year and seems far from ready to turn a profit.
