Key Takeaways from IPOs listed in 2013 - IPO Stack
Welcome to IPO Stack’s complete tracker for all IPOs listed in India in 2013. This page tracks the full lifecycle of every public issue from that year 2013 — starting from the issue price at the time of the IPO, the opening price on listing day, and where each stock stands today.
Whether you are a long-term investor reviewing a holding, a researcher studying IPO pricing trends, or someone simply curious about how these companies have performed over time, this page gives you everything in one place.
2013 was a quiet year for the Indian stock market. Only four companies went public. But what the year lacked in volume, it more than made up for in the quality of returns — three out of four IPOs have delivered significant multi-bagger gains to investors who held on from listing day.
How to Read this:
Issue Price is the per-share price at which the company offered its shares to the public during the IPO.
Listing Price is the stock exchange opening price on the day the company was officially listed. Comparing this with the Issue Price tells you whether the IPO had a strong debut (listing above issue price) or a weak one (listing below issue price).
CMP (Current Market Price) is the latest available trading price of the stock. This tells you where the stock price is today, years after the listing.
Chg Since Listing is arguably the most important column on this page. It shows the percentage change between the Listing Price and the CMP — meaning how much an investor who bought at the listing and held until today has gained or lost. This is the core metric IPO Stack tracks across every year.
Subscribed tells you how many times the issue was oversubscribed during the bidding period. A higher subscription multiple means stronger investor demand at the time of the IPO. A lower subscription means low demand.
52-Week High / Low gives you context on recent price action — whether a stock is currently trading near its annual peak or its annual bottom. This allows investors to make up their minds to invest or not.
CHG 1D points at the change that occurred in 1 day. It is the comparision on the price of stock on CMP (current market price) vs pClose (previous day price at market close) %CHG indicates the percentage of change that occurred in 1 day.
Key Takeaways from IPO 2013 by IPOStack:
3 out of 4 IPOs have delivered positive returns from their listing price to the current market price. The only exception is Just Dial, which, despite being the most subscribed issue of the year, has been unable to sustain its listing-day premium.
The most subscribed issue (Just Dial at 11.63×) is the only loss-maker. This is a recurring theme in IPO markets — heavy oversubscription can indicate overpricing or excessive hype, both of which make it hard for a stock to grow into its valuation over time.
The least subscribed issues (Repco at 1.65× and V-Mart at 1.20×) have delivered the most consistent long-term gains. Low subscription often reflects low retail excitement, not low business quality — and businesses with solid fundamentals tend to be re-rated higher over the years.
Power Grid, the largest issue of 2013, is also the best performer with nearly 200% returns since listing. Large, government-backed infrastructure businesses or PSU with steady cash flows and visible earnings have historically been strong long-term IPO investments in the Indian context.
