Canara HSBC Life Insurance Company's $283-million IPO was fully subscribed on the final day of bidding, driven largely by institutional investors. The successful subscription reflects robust market confidence in the company’s growth prospects, bancassurance reach, and diversified insurance offerings ahead of its stock market debut.

Canara HSBC Life Insurance Company Ltd, a prominent private life insurer in India, has witnessed its initial public offering (IPO) fully subscribed on the final day of bidding, completing a $283-million (₹2,517.5 crore) offer-for-sale (OFS) of shares from promoters Canara Bank, HSBC Insurance (Asia-Pacific), and Punjab National Bank. This milestone was achieved despite slower subscription rates in early days, with strong institutional investor participation accelerating the final push.

The IPO, launched on October 10, 2025, offered 23.75 crore shares priced between ₹100 and ₹106 each, and is entirely an OFS with no fresh issue component. The allotment process is set to be finalized by October 15, with listing expected on NSE and BSE by October 17.

Institutional investors, including Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), played a decisive role, boosting subscription levels in the closing hours. Retail and non-institutional investors also participated, albeit at moderate levels. The grey market premium (GMP) remained modest throughout, indicating balanced expectations on listing gains.

Canara HSBC Life Insurance leverages an extensive bancassurance network through Canara Bank and HSBC, serving over 10 million customers with diverse products like term insurance, endowments, unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs), and retirement solutions. The company's solid solvency ratio of 200% and consistent premium growth contribute to its positive outlook.

Market analysts highlight Canara HSBC’s strategic positioning, strong promoter backing, and robust financial health as key drivers for its successful IPO and sustainable future growth in India’s expanding life insurance sector.
