Meesho Delivers One of 2025’s Strongest Large‑Cap IPO Listing Gains
Meesho has officially delivered one of the best listing gains among large-sized IPOs (issue size above ₹5,000 crore) in 2025, reinforcing the strong investor appetite for India’s booming digital commerce sector.
The e‑commerce platform made a stellar debut on Wednesday, listing significantly above its IPO price on both exchanges.
A Powerful Market Debut
BSE Listing Price: ₹161.20 — a 45.23% premium
NSE Listing Price: ₹162.50 — a 46.4% premium
Following the debut, Meesho’s stock gained an additional 5% intraday, closing at ₹170.45, which pushed the company’s market capitalization to ₹76,926 crore.
With its ₹5,421‑crore IPO priced between ₹105–₹111 per share, Meesho entered the market with a valuation of ₹50,096 crore at the upper end of the price band — and surpassed it with ease on listing day.
How Meesho Stacks Up Against Other Large IPOs of 2025
So far in 2025, only seven IPOs above the ₹5,000 crore mark have hit the markets. Meesho ranks among the top performers, surpassed only by LG Electronics’ blockbuster debut.
Top Listing Gains — Large IPOs (2025)
| Company | Issue Size | Listing Gain |
|---|---|---|
| LG Electronics | ₹11,670 crore | 50% |
| Meesho | ₹5,421 crore | 45–46% |
| HDB Financial Services | — | 12.8% |
| Groww | — | 12% |
| Hexaware Technologies | — | 5.3% |
| Tata Capital (₹15,512 crore IPO) | Largest IPO of 2025 | 1.25% |
| Lenskart Solutions | — | Only one to list at a discount |
Meesho clearly stands out, especially when compared with Tata Capital’s modest debut and Lenskart’s negative opening.
What’s Driving Meesho’s Strong Investor Appetite?
Market experts point to several factors contributing to Meesho’s exceptional listing performance:
A Scalable Digital Commerce Model
Meesho’s “zero‑commission marketplace” has disrupted traditional e-commerce structures by:
Eliminating seller commissions
Supporting small merchants
Driving hyper‑growth in Tier II and III cities
Backing From Strong Global Investors
Supported by SoftBank and other marquee funds, Meesho has built strong credibility in the global venture ecosystem.
The Rising Confidence in India’s Online Retail Boom
Analysts believe digital commerce penetration is still in early stages in India, making platforms like Meesho long‑term beneficiaries.
As Shivani Nyati, Head of Wealth at Swastika Investmart, stated:
“The strong listing highlights robust investor appetite for India’s fast‑growing digital commerce ecosystem and confidence in Meesho’s unique model.”
What Meesho’s Listing Signals for India’s IPO Market
