Shares of the company were trading at a premium of over 80 per cent on the grey market after the share sale closed for subscription as expectations grew the stock would trade at these levels in the opening session.
Tata Technologies was the first company from Tata Group to come with an IPO in nearly two decades.
Tata Consultancy Services was the last IPO from the group in 2004.
“As expected, a bumper listing above our expectations respecting the legacy of the Tata brand. After witnessing a remarkable subscription demand Tata Technologies garnered significant attention in the stock market,” Prashanth Tapse, senior VP (research) at Mehta Equities Ltd, said.
Analysts said despite the strong gains made by the scrip, investors with a long-term perspective can buy the stock at the current levels.
According to Shivani Nyati, head of wealth, Swastika Investmart, while the dream listing is a positive development for the company and the engineering services sector, investors who participated in the IPO should consider holding on to their shares for the long term as the company is well-positioned for sustained growth.
